White To the Black

As the years passed as their darkened grip grew The white right began their searching pursue Armies they, to the black attacked Fearing nothing but good, for freedom they react Legions of Hades descended on mother earth Decrying her beauty and saviour so worth Fortresses they built, their base for campaign For they revelled to he, forever to remain But unknown to the dark, white disciples remained strong For they will fight for their lands, for they belong In masses they approach this darkened keep Their intention to deliver plight as their light gently weeps Hour after hour as the battle rages on Pincer movements never dent this darkened brawn Suddenly, in the afternoon sun, clouds so dark, is evils triumph in stride Ebony wings many miles wide, above this theatre in gentle glide Circling as they soar, below cobalt steel clouds Golden Eagles so regal, their glides resonate loud Natures fury awakens as she joins in the cause Thunder and lightning crashes on their darkened laws Flames rage through their keep whilst the ground below shakes Bringing walls and towers down against an redding orange drape Cries of death resonate through the acrid black air Whilst the armies of the right in salute stand and stare These legions from Hades from our world, now gone http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/dark-3.php

This is quite a fascinating write James, very dramatic. Blimey, it sounds like you take your chess games seriously, hehe. Seriously though, I got quite engrossed in the battle, very atmospheric & rich in imagery, good choice of form too. Enjoy your day ~ Sharon :)
