A Legend of Love

 
Far, far away in distant lands
in a cave in the middle of a dark forest
deep within the Scottish hills

there lived a dragon
“Aiden”
so grand and magnificent
his fire so strong
it engulfed his very own heart
 
for, over the hill stood in vein
his true love
she was defined by her gracious beauty
but Aiden, so timid and shy
never told of this

delicate like a leaf
lost within the dungeons of his own heart
 
so hidden, underground
vulnerable to the outside world
 
yet for her, he would have fought an entire village
winning her heart after any great battle
alas, for his lack of confidence

he was afraid if he got too close, she’d reject him
 
eventually he would die alone
in a sea of his own tears...
covered in confetti.
