Dynasty

a wee dramatic old scribble

Between the clouds maker

And the master of shadows

The army of sky breakers

Release their night-dipped arrows

 

So that in the forgotten realms

Some light will shine

And the daughters of wars

Some corners of peace could find

 

Some sketches of hope…

A balm for their shadow kissed soul

The magic that a fantasy can evoke

To erase all that the darkness stole

 

No legions of faith and armies of moonlight

Can do it for us…

Cause only we can find the hidden delight

And the edges of this eternal contrast…

 

Through Devil’s eyes

Our soul is corrupt with stealth,

But no matter how hard we try

The truth unravels by itself.

Hrm... Astounding stuff, Ana... I completely and honestly would LOVE to go into all the lines I like... But the whole thing is a line "I like"... Heh...

*And the daughters of wars
Some corners of peace could find
Some sketches of hope…*

No matter how stealthy I am with my inner corruption... It always unravels itself at the end of a shadow slipped... You always teach me something, and this was no different of an experience... Brilliant, truly...

This reads with a mesmerizing flow of imagery that feels almost dreamlike. Your rhyme & rhythm are loosely & well-done, which goes with the breezy mood of your message. Many people write about the struggle between dark & light, but you've done the important thing of making your version sound fresh & original.

Queen of rhyme and assonance and now of metaphor too.
Let us all embrace the magical time of the day and let our imaginations run free but not succumb to evil in so doing.
The imagery is stunning.
