Bulwark

Her smile was a sensual bulwark
That kept you out
As much as it kept her in.
You thought you might breach her defences
But she was already boiling oil,
Poured through razor sharp teeth.

  1. Ehh!
    If one fails in entering the bulwark, its his fault not the girl's strength.

    She always was looking for the Dragon

    Tread not lightly
    The lair of the Dragon
    His eye is trained on you
    Your footsteps are not guaranteed

    Do you walk with impunity
    The path of fire
    In the sights of the Dragon
    Or do you tread the gravest peril

    Delve deeply the lair of the dragon
    Unimagined death or dreams
    The shadows move
    Darkness fills the voids

    Feel the heat, the dragons’ breath
    The pulsing of his heart
    He knows you are there
    The layer is breached
