Tales of Embers
A Poem
Around the fire, we sat
To welcome the hero back
The oldest of the group stood up
With the tale for the centuries
She fought all the monsters alone
Let me tell you, made like a stone
They can fly, they breathe fire
She stood the ground, sword in hand
Over the sky reaching the wall, As a dot, I saw
They launched, grande, no flaw
Felt like meteors falling, in a trail of embers
She stood the ground, sword in hand
I never heard her say she can’t
For the first, she put the sword through its eyes
It went blind, and burned the one standing beside
For the next, she fought, of desire
To live or to die? For her, life, a satire
Decisions made in a wink
All or not, not to repent nor think
Through embers, she walked back
All cried out her name
Hero of the centuries
The embers burned out
In a sand storm, the stories washed off
Deep in the desert, fossils were found
Those where the angels, they said
magnificent with wings
Sheltered us in the storm
Tales turned, As sail of the ship with wind in the sea
She is the monster, who killed the angels
They cried out her name
Villain of the centuries
I wonder, what would they call you?
When the embers of you faded.
I hope you enjoy the poem, and have a nice day, follow for more poems.
