Poem
Darkness Where Now Poe And Raven Reside, (Part Two) Song over, Poe told demon band to leave And then pointed to the now empty stage Wretched souls, look as thy lost spirit grieves I present this new contest- all the rage Blood and gore will flame your dark desires Giving some respite from thy crying pleas In dire conflict, comes death and fire No weak romance, on love, birds and the bees Suddenly cast there a hero alive! In scant armor and flesh soaked in red blood How this mere mortal had fought to survive His legs covered in fresh, battlefield mud Slow to rise, but so defiantly proud His eyes gleaming with courage Heaven sent Then yet another crash so very loud From lightning, its power blasted and spent. From that flash came a monstrous beast so great With power from fangs and dagger-like claws Dragon of massive scale, thick armor plate Able to spew fire from massive jaws At first glance it sighted the hero there Bellowing out with its accursed breath From thy flesh my claws will now rip and tear Until that mortal body meets thy death. Alas! Thy foul breath has no greater foe Its effects are horrendous unto me... Yet there is more than even you beast know- Stronger are roots from my ancestral tree Send forth thy evil, hottest flaming blast As my great shield in its glory holds true Thy fate, thy end has now came at long last This brighter new dawn, shall be your end too! Master Poe laughed with his booming voice Stepping back, giving their battle more room Announcing this is my gift, my first choice Entertaining you, pleasure seeing sweet doom This hero, with mercy I gave his shield And his scant armor to give him a chance Battling to the death, neither can yield Here comes blood and guts, no feeble romance! Robert J. Lindley, 4-30-2019 Dark Rhymes, ( As Raven And Poe Both Survive Below ) Part Two... Part Three to be written soon.
