From Hero To Zero

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 . . .
