The end came quickly
as we were both transported
to the nether
the dagger fell ,
but didn't touch the ground
for both she and i
were around it .
And when i opened my eyes
she was back in the hut
for me to woo again
to begin over afresh ....
I trudged along,
Through the frozed desert,
Desparately seeking shelter,
From the murderous winds.
I feared not death,
For only today
I had been struck down,
By a sorceror,
With a heart of black ice,
Yet I lived to fight again.
It was him I sought
to seek out and annhilate
for a monster such as he
should only be free
to roam in hell
I look for shelter after months
to rest and rejuvenate
At length i see a cottage
with a warm orange light
coming through a window
welcoming me inside
I hastened my step and
closed in the gap
reached upon the threshold
took a deep breath
i knocked upon the wooden door
with a question in my heart
The cottage sure was welcoming ,
but some thing sinister as well
What lay in store inside
Time alone would tell
My deep breath
struck in my guts
As the door opened
a little way and
before me she stood
a heavenly beauty
And I'd been staring
but what the hell
At length I asked
"I am a traveller
May I come in ?"
"Please do" she said
a shy smile upon her face
As she turned and
walked inside .
She had me washed and clothed
and fed and rested
and as the weeks passed by
I fell in love with the house
and the lovely damsel inside
The larders were forever full
and the basins always overflowed
here in the middle
of this god forsaken desert
She seemed to speak
of no kith and kin
And her lonliness
only made me close in
Finally one day
I professed my love
and she said she felt the same
we united in an embrace
And my heart seemed to rest
our mouths met
and i felt complete.
We made love ,
amidst laughter and tears
Holy heaven ? I thought
I was there !!
I chopped wood
and conjured trinkets
Unnecessary , trivial
Just to remind her that i cared
She'd be waiting for me
when i got back
and come into my arms .
we made love for ever
and knew not hunger
thirst or sleep
Horus melted away ,
time had lost its meaning
just the thought of her
made my nerves tingle ,
it electrified me.
Then that fateful night
she turned away as
as we lay together .
That was the last time
i saw love in her eyes
before they turned lifeless gray
I had suspected
some thing was amiss
But i didn't know
it was so bad .
It was over ,just like that
extinguished in a flash
Suddenly i found my self
in the cold out side the house
the last words
she said to me
unfortunately were
"My father a soceror,
with a heart of black ice
Cursed me when he left this house
that i should never feel
true love inside
And I'm afraid that is true
and i feel nothing for you"
I fell to my knees
tears in my eyes
she was gone
when i looked again
I never saw so much as a glimpse
Even as i stared through
the warm yellow glass...
He flew across the desert,
Defeat writ large in his eyes,
Blood and scars everywhere.
His being was numb with pain,
And his mind joined in,
As he remembered the duel.
Had met his match today.
He winced as he recalled,
The fair young lad
Slash and stab with his sword.
And felt the neck,
Which the boy had wrung,
Till the wind had stopped to flow.
But treachery and old age,
Will always overcome
Youth and exuberance.
With a dark and evil spell,
The old sorceror had won.
He gloated over the boy's body,
Lifeless as it lay,
But an unknown fear,
Had chased him ever since
He'd set eyes upon the,
Corpse of the lad who had
Fought and nearly killed him
For a mere animal's life.
He had sought to bring
Peace to his mind.
So he conjured himself,
A cottage,
A little haven,
With a glowing light,
Protected from nature herself.
The sorceror walked,
Out of the cold,
Into the warm orange light.
And he lay at length,
In a bath,
As he was cleaned,
And his wounds healed.
A feast fit for a king,
Sat upon the table
But the sorceror
Could eat but a little
And couldn't drink
But a little wine
And there he lay in his bed
Tossing and wondering
What to do with himself .
What would set
His troubled mind to rest.
Healed and clad in heavy robes
He walked back out
Into the bitter cold
Stared with hatred
At the moon.
For its light
Bothered his eyes
So had some clouds ,
Cover it all up
To keep the light
From getting inside .
It was in that moment,
He created her,
Out of the frozen sand.
Her figure shaped.
At his wand's command.
And then he slashed his wrist,
And held it over her head,
And watched her come to life.
As the blood flowed,
First over her head,
And then through her veins,
He stepped back to inspect,
The most lovely creation in his name.
She was perfect,
From the tip of her hairs,
Down to every toe nail.
The body of a woman,
But the mind of a child.
She did not understand,
The sole purpose of her life.
Thus began the night,
of a thousand atrocities,
for the poor girl,
stupefied and shocked,
to the core,
by his unrepentant evil.
In the morning,
It dawned , upon the evil one,
his heart of black ice,
was still far from any rest,
so never to return,
he turned on his heel,
cursed and left .
My body's whole
I remember it all.
Every glorious battle we had won.
Except the last,
The least tricky of them all.
The one for the Kingdom of the Sun.
How had i fallen?
Baphomet's own ?
What has been started,
Must now be done.
No rock left unturned.
I prepare for battle once again.
Heavy armour,
Quiver, mace and bow .
Mighty roars,
And my mind below .
Raging on to take it all,
Reclaim what is my own .
I rouse the forces ,
Lo and behold ,
Your master lives ,
Take heart ,and march on .
Raging on to take it all ,
Take it back to where it belongs
They rise in hordes
My minions rise ,
Hot new blood gushing
Through their lives.
They believe once more,
They live to conquer,
They don their armour again.
War ensemble,
In the once deserted square
Lines of war,
As far as the eye can see.
Father arrives,
Here to give us the final command.
Before his majestic form,
My ego wilts.
His son, I am,
But a soldier nonetheless.
To live and die, by his side
Is my only wish
"Go forth and conquer" he says.
The force roars their approval.
Spilling into the air
Is their impatience for blood.
We start on the long perilious hike,
Black and gold our flag.
It infuses the passing air
With the poison that runs,
Gushes deep within our veins.
Enemy waiting at their gates ,
The fear of death rooted,
In their eyes, hearts and souls
Least they are aware of their fate,
Delusions no more.
Battle is short and sweet,
Guts and limbs lay in pools of blood.
Mostly all of theirs.
Victorious are our roars
As they scatter and retreat .
leaving to us what we had won.
As we take the castles and fields ,
Nay planets, and the beautiful earth.
For our own, the Kingdom of the Sun .
They raise their heads ,
And behold their master .
He has returned,
The shooting star of yore .
He lives again against against all odds,
To march and conquer once more.
Victorious in battle,
we returned home.
As always
A few men less.
The feast was grand,
and beauties divine,
the intoxicants,
straight out of hell.
After a week of revelry,
We settled down,
Spent and satisfied .
But some thing i'd heard,
A "wise" one say,
Had stolen my peace of mind.
I felt compelled,
To sort the matter out,
Or i would never sleep again.
So i sought him out,
asked for an audience,
The pompous inbred swine ...
He greeted me with much ado.
He had to entertain.
For else , I being Baphomet's own,
He would lose his head
In the bargain .
With the rituals done,
And wine inside ,
He asked me to begin.
But when i asked him,
what his words had meant,
he lightly brushed me aside.
"I was drunk " he lied.
And last, weak strand,
Of my patience snapped.
"Don't lie "I roared,
As i lifted him by his throat
clear off the floor.
He felt the blade at his neck
And wrath throbbing in my arms
And the words began to flow.
You were sacrificed.
On the battle ground.
The word came from
Lucifer himself.
The war was won that time,
Though was the battle lost then.
The ground seemed to slip
From beneath my feet,
As it dawned upon me,
I had been used
To meet a trivial end.
The dastardliness of the act,
Brought my blood to a boil .
I thought and pondered,
But there was nothing,
That i could tell myself,
So it all seemed justified .
It was over i decided,
No more me for Him.
I would leave this land,
Live my other life once again.
And as as i reached a portal
I heard his voice
"And where is it we are going ?"
As i told him that i knew it all,
That his vile plan,
Had been revealed.
The unrepentent evil
Of his revolting smile,
Never ceased to drive
Me to chagrin.
At length he spoke
With no emotion
Nothing short of pride.
"Well at least now
You are certainly aware
That you're entitled to no goodbyes
I'm your lord and master
You're mine to use as i wish
mine to discard when i like "
With the veil of love
Shattered and gone
I could see clearly .
All the fraudulent praise
And the glamour days
Oh what a bloody fool
I had been .
But then i saw it
My last chance at deliverance,
From the loathsome
Hands of this fiend .
I bid him good bye with a smile
And for the first time,
Since his creation
The malice and pride in his face
Were replaced by confusion.
I uttered a curse,
Which to his dismay,
Was directed not at him but me.
As my body burst into flames
And metal shackles
closed around my throat
I uttered my last words
"Go to hell."
And I watched with satisfaction,
As the ethereal flames,
Consumed my body,
Down to every last detail.
He fell to his knees,
In accepted defeat,
He owned the body,
But not the soul.
