Think Therefore

Muse, contemplate or ponder. Often best served with a drink. All I know is the world's a wonder… therefore I think.

Lord, protector

in Poems

The cattle graze below
Their lives pass to and fro
Above moves a spectre
I am lord, protector

Demons, I keep at bay
Other ghouls stay away
The cattle sustain me
But never take I glee

Now there is another
My enemy not my brother
We share the same sire
But differ in desire

He visited at night
None could muster a fight
Late I witnessed this curse
Cattle forced to disperse

I had to confront him
His face weathered and grim
A behemoth in size
Under a Vampyre’s guise

A mirror he could be
Lived I across the sea
But peace did I demand
When I came to this land

The fight endured an age
Consumed by our own rage
At length I wore him down
Reclaimed my fallen crown

Echoes all around
No subjects have I found
Their fear drove them away
I must return my prey

Neighbouring towns I searched
On spires I watched and perched
One by one they return
For their homes do they yearn

The cattle graze below
Their lives pass to and fro
Above moves a spectre
I am lord, protector
