Goblin, Goblin, burning bright
In the caves of endless night
None can tell thy symmetry
Because you ate the whole party, including me.
Troll, troll,
Once the brightling Sun stole
Your flesh, and now, you’re made of stone.
You’re just like my heart, and now I’m not alone.
Shelob, spawn of Ungoliant
Of predators and hungers, giant
Thy spawn in turn? Dark alone.
Forever brood on meat from bone.
Dragon, Dragon, for you, careful words
Terror of lizards, planes, spaceships, and birds.
Some fear thy awful breath of flame
But they die slower than those who speak your secret name.
Demon, demon, closest foe
Please drag me with you far below
I long to leave this light-drenched limbo
With a tail to lash, and goat-legs akimbo.
My name is Jeff Mach (“Dark Lord” is optional) and I build communities, put on events, and make stories come into being. I also tweet a lot over @darklordjournal.
