Darkness Where Now Poe and Raven Reside, Part Three
Darkness Where Now Poe And Raven Reside,
(Part Three)
Poe slowly gave distance to this great fight
With sweetest glee, his heart pounding its beat
Glorious would be this blood flowing sight
Better both should die, give beasts more to eat
Dragon came forth, hero drew his sharp blade
His weapon forged in Elves's hot fire
Its razor-sharp steel, for monsters was made
Recalls his vow after this to retire.
Alas! A snake there at dragon's clawed feet
Its fangs long and its slit-eyes cherry red
Hissing, it raced forth to hero's blade meet
Lightning fast swing, off came its giant head
Dragon came, its tail gave a mighty crack
Look out hero , cried hellish tortured group
Hero just in time saw this quick attack
Moving back to avoid that deadly swoop!
Brave warrior now leaped from that bloody stage
Lands closer to lost souls in heavy chains
Dragon thwarted, bellows its fiery rage
Releasing streams of its fire-born rains.
Hero's shield covers him during that blast
His body armor tho' scant did the trick
Again he maneuvers forward so fast
In his plunged sword through scales very thick.
So nimble was this deep and deadly thrust
Dragon felt it after it was too late
Hero knowing time was right, death a must
His true prayer, told him his win was Fate
Then his razor-sharp sword found tender throat
His vengeance increasing with each new breath
Thrice with deeper hacks fallen neck he smote
Separating head, sealing dragon's death!
Then Master Poe gave out a mighty shout
Steeping back on stage, on guts and gore
Proclaiming this warrior true, brave and stout
Telling lost souls, those claps, lets give him more
With their chains rattling they did just as told
Chanting hero, free us from this hell now
You are ever faithful, valiant, strong and bold
We beg of thee this, caring not the how!
