The Lord of RavenLoft

Upon the cliffs where shadows reign, 
A fortress looms through endless rain. 
Its master waits with crimson eyes, 
A curse immortal, a soul despised.

The moonlight pales, the villagers pray,
Yet none escape his cold decay. 
Strahd, the Count, with hunger vast, 
A love eternal, a spell long cast.

He walks the halls of stone and gloom, 
A sovereign bound to endless tomb. 
The roses wilt, the candles die, 
Yet still he whispers, “She is mine.”

No dawn shall break, no hope shall bloom,
 For Ravenloft is but a tomb. 
And in its heart, the vampire king, 
Rules sorrow’s court, on broken wing.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
