Crimson Knight ~ Two

Crimson Knight

Two

On a quiet, humid, summer's eve

Gail City rests in slumber

On the horizon, lightening strikes

And not long after, thunder

Crimson turns from windowsill

Worry etched on perfect form

Knowing that what is coming

Is much more than summer storm

Her violet eyes dance nervously

As heavy rain drops break

And she starts her counter, internally

Of the souls they plan to take

For centuries she's fought this force

Believing they've the right

To live the simple lives of humans

Ignorant to this plight

And on to the city's streets they creep

This unknowing human prey

Like lambs to slaughter they will march

On to their judgment day

She sighs out loud and turns the lock

On secret hidden door

She stretches muscles, long and lean

As her mind prepares for war.
