The Darkness

I sit in the semi-dark
I gaze at the pre-dawn light
not seeing it's glow

My vision is filled with
a darkness I can not ignore

A darkness that spreads
across the world engulfing
all in it's path

I see an evil more evil
than evil it is old
as time itself

I am filled with dread
so deep so dark so cold

This is Evil incarnate
blacker than the darkest
night ever known

It makes me cold
cold to my heart
I feel a deep dread

I feel in my hands
my blades heavy and cold

My gaze falls upon them
Their blades gleam
in the pre-dawn light

This Evil I will fight!
I will drive back the night!
Even if I must fight it alone.

Larceny

They stole into the night
larceny on their minds
murder in their hearts

From shadow to shadow
deep within the night
to take their plunder
then their flight

The sentries stood tall
they stood proud on
this moonless night

From the darkness it came
no warning no hue no cry
cold steel found warm flesh
so swift so silent so final

Red handed they plundered
the wealth of a king
the fortune of a life

Into the darkness they fled
their spoils to divide
unheard unseen one did survive
a sentry ashen and ashamed

His dead comrades did he bury
rage in his heart
an oath on his lips
Revenge shall be mine!

Feed not the troll

Feed not the troll
for nourished is he
that feeds upon your
spleen when you give
vent to your frustration.

So said to me by the great sage and madman on
one cold winter eve.....




Of course he also said:

UHHHBooogieBooogieWoooogieBoooogieBoooogieBoooo!

That one I have yet to decipher the meaning of..

BETRAYAL!

BETRAYAL!
by a coward!
by a knave!

BETRAYAL!
a breast of alabaster
astain with crimson

BETRAYAL!
a beguiled pawns dagger
stealing in the night

BETRAYAL!
a house asunder
a clan slain

BETRAYAL!
a battle lost
a war begun

A Knight Disgraced

a knight disgraced
my armor tarnished
my sword broken
my friends failed

my honor stained
my heart burdened
when pettiness came
a scoundrel's deceit

stolen in the night
all that was dear
return dawn's light
show to me the
thief of my light

but to reclaim that
which was mine from
this rogue in night
faith must be reclaimed!

Just a silly poem

O listen to me young men
fear your woman's skillet
above all other weapons
for it is the one that can
bring pleasure to you belly
and pain to you head...

Masks

Masks

I see before me a child of Egypt
Her face hidden behind a mask of gold
Her eyes though her eyes
Haunted by visions so very cold

In the night they came
Reavers!
Faces covered by masks of Ebony
To take from this child all
She held so very dear

Slaughter, Massacre, Chaos
A house asunder
Years to build
Destroyed in but a day

Faces uncovered by the slip of a
Mask
Behind the masks of ebony
they hid their shame
Friends they had claimed

Uncovered now the truth of their
False claims no friends were these
A cold blade found this innocents heart
Forever she swore to wear this mask

A mask of gold to hide her pain
To hide the stain of her tears
One final oath she swore
To return upon these decievers
All they had done tenfold
