The Watcher

Like a lone Merovingian king



Stood out in the purifying freezing cold

 

Watching old Luna

Rise


Slowly creeping in

From the Middle East


Frankus

Wine-rich and sinfully tempestuous


Feels the icy grip of Freyr

The Aesir


Against the backdrop of the star seed night sky


Watching the Ominous Night Garden 


Warden

NYKOMA

Open up its lit-up Black Emerald Gates 


To let the Fallen Elementals play


Welcoming The Pit Hordes


To cross way

Over the Threshold 


From Babylon of Old


To their new homes

As once foretold


Into the soft and weak hearts of faithless men


And tarnished women of the night 


Where they will sit and gleam


Like rare blood diamonds  

Smiling in the stalking shadows

Of The Great In-Between


As they invade and conquer


The sweet sacred virgin landscapes


Of their hosts 

Hopes and dreams
