Diablo Poetry
So, this is something I've been wanting to do for a while, but never got round to it. I intend to create a blog for it eventually.
This is just the first draft and will obviously be worked on, but I wanted to get the basic model of my first one done. I was wondering what you guys think, and if you believe it works :wave:
"This tower shall be cleansed of evil
Through mist and time, stands the rugged ruin
A tower of despair, and thorough tuition
For baths of blood, or sin of terror
Dark Elizabeth, your reflection spawns
She holds the key
I progress
The victim of lust, and that of pleasure
Upon these stones they surely stood
Thoughts of death, a path to peace
Vermin of late, still feed on flesh
She knows the truth
I progress
Virgin breath and virgin sweat
Entangled amongst the dying scent
Twisted tunnels, encaved in lore
Stories spoken here, rarely heard
She is not here!
I progress
The tunnels are endless!
The smell is putrid, my nostrils flare
I must push, I must push!
So far I see no end to this lair!
She hides beyond
I progress
Eyes, teeth, dust of their bones!
No my lord, do not, I pray do not
I twist and I parry, the mind!
She fools your mind m'lord!
She falters
I progress
No more, is my mind her play
This grail you shall not claim!
The jewel beneath my feet, it shines
Grant me strength, lest I falter once more
She cannot be far
I progress
This pit is no place for a theif
Gold galore m'lord, no Waheed, move on
I dash, I swipe, I block and I slice!
The smoke clouds my vision
The gold strikes my shield
Loot as sharp as my own blade falls
I dodge and I grab and I crash!
Breath returns, refreshing my thoughts
I sit, I weep and I pray
I've earned the right to this abandoned trove"
