Little shadow, my restless one
Furred and fine, lovely and bright
Do not be scared and do not run
Please let me set this night aright.

I saw you running in the wood,
Your fur so soft, your form so proud,
My cold heart stopped and there I stood
Ensnared in a passionate cloud.

I know you fear my form of scales
And fiery breath and fang and claw,
But look you now how my heart wails
And see how I stand rapt, in awe.

This passion stirs my dragon heart.
Listen, please, to my instruction.
Let my words calm you and you'll start
To understand my seduction.

I love you, with your fur so fine,
And though I court in strange fashion,
I pray your love shall soon be mine
And we'll entwine in shared passion.

I see your eyes start to look wild.
Animal heart, burning desire,
My passion's words start to beguile
And your wild blood starts to burn higher.

So come to me and we shall love.
Our passions now entwine and merge.
You from below, I from above,
From different worlds, sharing one urge.

The love we make together burns
Our souls as one. Our bodies fuse.
These hearts as one; this one heart yearns;
Not dragon or beast could refuse.
