From Hero To Zero

Contributed By: neptunes_first

Skeletal, infusing
Finger points
Abusing.

Heavens tears
are falling
Winter sears
appaling

Leafless trees
lamenting
Gruesome Breeze
consenting

Traveler,
Intrepid
Travelled far
back rigid

Horseback rode
relentless
Along road
Defenceless

Hero''s heart
of courage
Gut is filled
with porridge

Horse is left
on borders
Horse bereft
of orders

Sky''s lament
it beckons
Hero sent
he reckons

Mystic mage
will end this
story''s page
and rend his

Hero''s heart
from body
Rend apart
so bloody

Wizard goes
attacking
Magick blows
with blacking

Hero''s nose
is bleeding
Bloody trail
Is leading

Hero''s bane
to Hero
Hero''s slain
to Zero

A number
whole and
pristine

Hero''s soul
Is glist''ning
In a jar
in Donjon
Like a star -
an engine
powers mage
in magick
for pages in
tales tragic . . .
