The Dragon Prince

Poet's Comments: As a shapeshifter and a dragon, The Dragon Prince is to be feared.

The dragons of Europe were feared and put down
Our kin no-one would ever befriend
In the East they respected and worshiped my kind
Though our paths lay the same in the end

The powers of dragons were many and feared
And a dragon in death still had skills
An army of soldiers could grow from its teeth
A mere mortal, one drop of blood kills

My time as a giant beast is at an end
But from death I still plan to come back
The fates have a duty for me to fulfil
A continued, relentless, attack

The mortals who sang of my passing shall know
That their joy at my death was in vain
I plan sweet revenge through this unearthly sleep
My return heralds nothing but pain

The form I will take when I rise from the dead
Won’t be chosen by just luck, or fate
The mortal who thinks they can stand in my way
I will leave in a very grave state

My magical powers will be at their height
And my progeny need not use force
The hunger for flesh will become one for blood
We shall kill without any remorse

Again I shall be the most feared of them all
It will be such a singular fame
The sound of the word will chill them to their bones
When in hushed tones they mention my name

From “Dragon” or “Devil” they’ll call me “Dracul”
All will know what that word fully means
The heart of the beast beats inside of me still
And will rule when this life reconvenes
