Everlasting
Figured I should try uploading on here a bit, getting tired of just one place. Also, been forever since I've been here, so might as well upload something good.
Sleeping dreams wisp away, a
Cavern's secret trove beckoning.
Legends old enkindle weary
Hearts, and adventure's sought over.
Taverns' glistening jewels
Spin the golden spiel further,
Reaching high above onto
Perilous peaks of fire.
Wakes of the past soon seethe through
Youthful bellies, one such
Churned towards the merciless gambit
Drenched in kingdoms' treasure.
Sword held out, the Hero
Walks the trodden path through
Glades unkempt of man, a
Lush undisturbed with beauty.
Hoary mountains quivering,
Snow pelts down upon the
Wanderer's back as the welkin
Sighs, the journey nearing its close.
Flames spewing forth from out the
Earthly chimney, he enters,
Staggering through darkened
Halls of unknown terrors.
Quaking bellows surge through the
Ground, the room alight in a
Warm glow as a serpent
Large and bold from sleep stirred.
Blade and fang glare down the
Rivals' joust, a wiry
Smile the last remorse as the
Two lay 'way their weapons.
Passing years lead back to those
Humble pubs again, the
Youth of then no longer
Fancied with tales of the elders.
Reminiscing of days long
Gone, a man of age takes
Hold a quelling boy so
Fit to live without his dreaming.
Wrinkled lips locked in a grin, he
Turns the child around, his
Grey eyes shining with a
Light thought lost a world ago.
Pulling out a scale of blue,
Words of desire seep into
Venturous ears while the dragon
Strings along his thread fermenting.
