Fire and Steel

Contributed by Gravehorn on Sunday, 31st December 2006 @ 07:22:06 PM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry

The cascade falls of fire
Burn all who venture higher
To orient gates of Ida’s fates
In singeing wooded pyres

Undead Roman legionnaires
Riding undead flaming mares
Protect the myth with a burning scythe
From any who venture there

Our hero finds himself
Climbing high above the shelf
Of earths own crust for now he must
Find flames that never cease to burn

High atop the summit’s peak
We find our hero dead and weak
From the sightless climb he hears the chime
Of an undead general’s horn

“You! Draconian beast of fire!
Blamed and labeled saintly liar
Whom the gods find fit to lead
The undead ranks on fateful steed

Let me pass into the cave
Or feel my wrath you wretched slave
I’ll smite thee now if you don’t bow
I’ll place ye in thy grave”

With a call that’d pierce a dead man’s heart
The general gave a rampant start
To quicken death for our hero’s breath
But only found the swordsman’s art

The dripping blade fell down aside
What would be blood had burned and died
Scorched steel remained on his arcane
Sword forged within a holy pride

The demon rests on smoldered ground
His flames had died with a screeching sound
The frame he held had seemed to meld
Into the dirt, now a skeletal mound.

This now concludes the first of our tale
The seasons twisted and turned
I call the muse to help me unveil
This story scorched and burned

Thank you. A wonderful piece.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
