There is a forbidden place, in a land far away <br />Where the mist blankets the ground, cold and gray <br />Some believe it to be fog, others say its hell sent <br />Others believe it to be the breath, that a dragon had spent <br /> <br />As one enters the mist, and eerie calm comes about <br />Seeing nothing, hearing no one, your mind clouded with doubt <br />As if in a room, filled ever thickening white smoke <br />The pungent smell of sulphur, causes you to choke <br /> <br />Walking in blindly, you pause to gather your senses <br />Heightened with anxiety, your aware of his defenses <br />Many a brave knight has entered the Dragons Breath <br />Armed with only a sword, a shield, and emanate death <br /> <br />A low growl reverberates, from somewhere up ahead <br />As you stumble about and tripping, over the remains of the dead <br />Those who’ve tried before you, only to fall victim to the mist <br />As you raise your sword higher, clenched tightly in your fist <br /> <br />Searching for something, your senses tell you, is drawing very near <br />Your pulse quickens, your heart races, filling your body with fear <br />You call on the spirits, of those who dared before you <br />Help you see past his cloak of mist, and that your aim to be true <br /> <br />As you close your eyes, you see him, thru the eyes of others <br />Those who were there before you, thru the eyes of your fallen brothers <br />With one swift move you lunge your sword, and pierce his cold black heart <br />Releasing the earthbound spirits, he dies as they depart <br /> <br />You raise your sword heaven bound, and bid them all farewell <br />Set free from this purgatory, released from the dragons spell <br />Farewell my brothers, till we meet again, and join yet for another fight <br />I bid you all gods speed, as you kneel before them, a lone knight<br /><br />Poison 9901<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dragons-breath/
