The Dragon's Throat

Before fire reigns, the glow does hypnotize
And paralyze with pulchritude
Rooted, awestruck by the beauty of doom
Lambent armor of a vengeful worm

Unblinking eyes weep tears of gold
Transmuted from beholding this spectacle of avarice
Too late the taste of metal breaks the trance
Merciless flame chars mistaken faith
