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

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 :)
