I’d rather be
The lion, the phoenix, the dragon
And forge a path with flame
Hot blood and sharp teeth
I’ll raze it all to prove my worth
Kneel in the ashes, your queen
Snowy skin kissed with embers
Tongues dancing below velvet sky
Blade teasing fevered breath
Silk coiling, unravelling, soft
Hands rough, flesh bruised
Violence matched, dominated
Illumination devoured with dissipation
Souls claimed in the dark
