The Dark Dragon King Author's Note: This is an old fan fiction #poem I wrote a while back based on the shapeshifters and dragons in L.J. Smith's Night World books V1) Eyes at night in the dark Eyes that glow, eyes that spark Panther, bear, wolf or hawk All come out at night to prowl, hunt and stalk V2) In the moonlight they hunt their prey And walk among mortals in human form the following day If you discover them, do not stop and stare Or in their eyes you will find danger lurking there V3) Their predatory grace and beauty will pull you in You'll try to fight it though you won't win But something, I should make very clear It's the dark dragon king, you should really fear V4) His eyes are black, black as coal They'll drag you in and swallow you whole Deadly claws scrape across the ground You'll scream but your voice won't make a sound V5) His dark leathery wings blot out the sun And strike terror in the hearts of everyone His mask of beauty will make you think you're not his prey But dare you run or dare you stay
