Keeper of the Eternal Flame
A bleeding and shattered heart
lies hidden
inside a fortress of elemental
ice walls
Kept safe from the curious,
callus, and cruel
deep within her maze of frozen
shimmering halls
She watches, waits from high
above
a silent, eternal, deadly vigil
waiting, waiting for dangers
latest calls
On blackest wings of midnight
silk
She is mistress of both the sea
and air
No one has tamed her; no one
would dare
A warrior,sheathed in armor,
the color of crimson, and blood
A regal guardian
queen,meeting
every assault of those who are
without care
Immortal keeper of an eternal
flame
forever alone she waits,
unknown,and unnamed
For the one who presents
himself the seeker
the keys of wisdom will be
asked, and claimed
Both, soon, to discover
they are, but mirrors of the
same
And now, bound together, a
new pact they will share
Both changed, both changing;
new roles they will wear
Strengths to become
weakness, and weakness to be
laid bare
Forged through the ashes,
primordial power
shall they wield, if they should
dare
Yet, this path, as with the
flame, though eternal
be easily lost, through
impatience, or fear
take the time, hold steady,
keep the path clear
In the end, if possessing the
treasure
to rightfully claim, and shout
"Mine"
be truly, what the heart holds
most dear
