Violet Light

Sinking through wispy clouds
On wings of amethyst 
I design the sky
Refracting light to royal poise
Essence of purple blankets the sky

I take perch in a crystal prism
Resting on the end of the spectrum 
Eminent land 
No salacious rumors to be discerned 
Void of transgressions

Here, I shall make stead
Periodically withdrawing to illuminate mortal sky
My grandeur, I shall share to all

Gray Sky

Gray light penetrates 
Ocean of candescence 
Above me laying idle
To hope on this dismal day-
For these constraints to absolve

Call of the Wyrm

An unleashed scream echoes through the valley 
Rallying cry of the wyrm 
Confess your madness 
In shearing bouts that cleave mountains
Leaving them asunder 

Fire storms rage, scorching terra 
Lighting strikes arc across the sky, in disjointed bolts
Lava spews from Hephaestus’s furnace
 
The ever imposing demon lord sits atop his molten necropolis 
Come forth armies of calamity 
Wreak havoc across the continents 
Melt earth into hell, and suffocate the heavens with poisonous smoke

Ever impending doom speeds across the horizon 
Flee in terror
Though it be in vain
A light in a maelstrom 
What chance, might you have?

Inhaling the Sea

I sink into the ocean 
Water so intrepid 
The salt that carves,
Canals in my skin, and stains my lungs
	
Yet I am not overpowered
Gliding down through azure expanses
The melodious harp, I hear 
From a foreign dimension 
		
As I rest in bliss

Aether

Forge my skies eternal 
Beyond comprehension 
The swirling horizon 
And the endless expanses, that spark adventure
With ether like flowing water
Yet I will not suffer, numb to ailments  

Atmosphere that reflects the lifeful beauty below
Yet possessing luxuries in it’s own right
Though not vain, for it is unenvious

Through the aether, I shall  wander 
Fading with bliss, as I walk to the stellas
