The Baron of night,
steels his mind,
then he goes to war...
And daggers draw in the shadows still
to the heroes heart they mark..

Oh, the Quick do tremble..
and the Dragons rage..
bourne on lust,
and greed the same..
and her flame soothes the night...


Alas its come..
to quench the souls.
and the spirit of Man
Slicing through those silver stands...
and the Gods look away..


Loe, to the sky,
on wings o'flame..
the Burning messengers call..
Their songs of peace, evoloped in pain,
and the Dark Requiem befalls all..

"Heroes of Light!, Be weary not,'
"cast off that mortal shell...
draw back you strings,
release the sting of your courage true..
Drawn from that innermsot well'

And thus they stood...three in all..
Virtues to each his own..
and his is Valor..
and she be wise
and to the other love unto her...


There they stood, the three in all...
they waged against the horde..
Through the flesh of the Ghouls,
the minds of the Lich, the vampires seduction too..
against the Beast of blood hunger,
and the wraiths disapointments...
and the anger of the Fools..

Through that endless night,
swathed in battles,
these three flames shown through..
till the tides of Darkness were in reside,
and the Baron into the battle was thrown...

And sound was as thunder...
with dodge and parry met..
till the baron was struck,
and fell to the ground,
and light bled through his wound...

And the night cracked..
Lo!  day shown through
and he with valor, knelt his head..
and she with wisdom closed her eyes to reflect...
and the one who loved her wepts, looking to her in the Sun's graces...


The three heroes, triumphant at last..
soon move to rest...
Arm in arm they walks the miles...
and they set their wounds, and their path...
a path to lead them home...

and...yet....

the Baron smirks

Thanks much, m'Lady.  This is going to be my opus, I think.  It is one of my few poems that truly shows who I am...  A poor romantic,  a believer in magick....  and a person lost in the humid tandrums of humanity.  I see humans as not the brothers of ape...but..the degenerates of them.  We have Knoledge, but, we have lost ourselves in that...  Knowledge isn't wrong...but...it is when wisdom isn't taught.  Humans hate the darkside of themselves, yet, they lust in it, in closed sections...  we try to control that which is primal...  ...I have rambled..

Thank you for enjoying my first part of 'Of night and Day'  

Till then,
Edd

Such imagery, your work is always too cool hon!! Bravo  

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....
