I wrote this one today. Still new to this (third poem), so contructive criticism is very welcome :-)
Hope you enjoy it.
-----------------
A journey through the dark
Searching for the light
Sitting in the darkness
I perform an ancient rite
Working under the cover of night
I search for thy infernal light
Ploughing through the swamp of lies
Presented as truth by clever disguise
Trying to keep from me, the truth absolute
Do not take me for a fool
Nay, I sense thy falsehood a mile away
And struggle forward without delay
Lest I sink deeper in the rotten clay
Having let no word untrue, enter my mind
I leave these cursed swamps behind
Weary and shaking, these moist lands I will forever shun
Relieved and strong of heart, I revel in the now rising sun
Making my way through the pitch-black halls of yore
Walls stained with blood and unholy lore
Trying to keep me from passing, by taking away my sight
Do not take me for a fool
Nay, I fill these halls with a bright light from the soul
Revealing inner demons, monsters and ghoul
Fighting ferociously, they try to take control
Having slain them, with a spirit-made sword
I leave behind this ancient fort
Tired from battle, these halls I will forever shun
Hardened by combat, I gaze upon the now visible sun
Travelling through the icy lands of deception
Snow, ice and frost my only perception
Trying to keep me from walking my path
Do not take me for a fool
Nay, I shall not be so easily led astray
Mind fixed on my goal, still far away
Enduring all these hardships, for that one glorious day
Having not been misled and escaping winters cell
I leave behind this icy hell
Shivering from the cold, this frozen wasteland I will forever shun
Standing tall and proud, I embrace warmth of the beautiful sun
A journey through the dark
A journey of the soul
The more of these I make
The less I feel the same
I open my eyes and stand up straight
I have returned to the earth plane
