This second one I wrote a while back, it's sort've Inheritance themed.
Lazy Eye
Ocean raging below us
Waves white capped throw
drops, furious, skyward
The sky above us, gray,
Forks of cold fire
flash the world into
being, a gelatinous monster,
Blue, the ocean
His scales, green,
Reflect ocean and
Lightning in a vast rainbow
His wings beat a
sonorous taboo, crushing
The air into submission,
forcing it to keep him aloft
He is mighty, but
For me, he is only
Love, play
The rain, wind, whips
My long hair, stings
My smooth cheeks,
But I care not
I pull close to his
Scaly body, diamond bright,
and feel the
Beating of his massive heart
and soak up the
Fiery warmth of his scales
He looks back
at my touch
He bears his fangs, a
fearsome grin, love
His lazy lizard’s eye,
ocean in color,
Tosses me back a
scaly wink, emerald, sapphire
A gout of purest crimson flame
Explodes from his maw
The rain becomes steam
The chill disappears
In our cloud, we
Savor the moment
Cherish the sky,
My dragon and I

-I will show you fear in a handful of dust. -
