Poetry: Godspeed

Poetry: Rewriting

DnD Poetry: Bad Dragon
Verdant green are the fields above Two drink of wine and heady love Wildflowers bent and broken over She asks him to go a little slower A pebble starts to shiver and shake The Earth beneath them starts to wake A momentary flash of fear mixes with desire Before lovers are ignited by true fire…
