Guest Foe Calibur Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 Written for a D&D campaign, the "she" mentioned is the goddess that bannished the narator of this poem, the "unballanced", or "Un-named" one. ~~~~~ Thrice in heaven, thrice in hell, Thrice upon the earth we dwell to rid the land ‘ere ever more, Shade’s betroth’ed fervid knell. We walk evermore, ‘cross shadows of death, We see not, hear not, speak not, lethe forever more be human nature, Damned to breathe it’s final breath. Thrice we stand, thrice we fall, Thrice we kneel once more in thrall to bow before another life, To live once, twice enthralled. This life we live, this existence endured, Akin to what fate is thus obscured, and hidden from us ever more, ‘Till alas our heavenly state’s assured. Once in past, once in present, Once in times we have not spent shall find your quest as unavailing, As once she hath and shall repent. And here you stand, before my eyes, In human cloak, and mortal guise to bring to me my earthly merit, And freedom hence upon reprise. ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwaihir Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 Neat! I like the use of keywords (as in thrice). A sorta mysterious feel to the poem. Smooth rhythm too. Thrice in heaven, thrice in hell, Thrice upon the earth we dwell to rid the land ‘ere ever more, Shade’s betroth’ed fervid knell. We walk evermore, ‘cross shadows of death, We see not, hear not, speak not, lethe forever more be human nature, Damned to breathe it’s final breath. Thrice we stand, thrice we fall, Thrice we kneel once more in thrall to bow before another life, To live once, twice enthralled. This life we live, this existence endured, Akin to what fate is thus obscured, and hidden from us ever more, ‘Till alas our heavenly state’s assured. Once in past, once in present, Once in times we have not spent shall find your quest as unavailing, As once she hath and shall repent. And here you stand, before my eyes, In human cloak, and mortal guise to bring to me my earthly merit, And freedom hence upon reprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
