Nightmare Castle
Secluded is a castle dreary
Decayed atop a taiga eerie
Stopping to rest travelers weary
Demonic elves cast visions bleary
Seduced by fiends
Recurring dreams
Horrific scenes
Blood chilling screams
Decrepit stands stone walls degraded
Crooked hangs torn tapestry faded
Deep down the halls sunlight evaded
Rust rotted rooms plague dreams invaded
Seduced by fiends
Recurring dreams
Horrific scenes
Blood chilling screams
Revoking warmth welkin light forswears
Discreetly dwells, malicious nightmares
Leeching lifeforce, regaining presence fair
Enfeebled men awakened gray-haired.

Ritual Hunt
Sailing towards an isle remote
A vile crew with hardy loot
Seeking refuge beyond their boat
To hide their haul in absolute
With treasure buried and map crossed
Beckons a tide of merriment
As watchers waiting to accost
Hidden the tribe grows abhorrent
The sea wolves drink
To excess
Away they slink
Too drunk to think
Or assess
Their numbers shrink
Confusion strikes back aboard
Suspicions, rumors, and conspiracies
Form from fear and discord
Swelling the beguilement of piracies
On the morrow when the sun hangs high
Lucid thoughts, bottles dry
The crew decides among their fates
To find their missing mates
Dense and distant grows the forest
Before long more are lost
The rest return in deep despair
Leave upon their corsair
Missing crewmates have been gathered
Prisoners of the savage tribe
Rooster blood on faces slathered
Rejecting all attempted bribes
Pounding drums lead ritual dance
Waiving torches, echoing chants
Silence falls the shaman entrance
Selecting hunters he enchants
Deep in the trees
With no swords
All weapons seized
The pirate’s pleas
Go ignored
Forced on their knees
Shaman decrees
Nectar poured
Smashing berries
Wolves of the seas
Still implored
Rising stymies
Escapes are rarely ever made
However surely intangible
Other perils lie beyond the glade
But none worse than the tribe of cannibals
In cryptic tongue the shaman speaks
Then in turn they repeat
Upon a potion the hunters drink
Hung on necks flowered links
Setting free the captives scatter
Thickets through feet stagger
Stoically the hunters abide
Giving game chance to hide
Few ever survive the ritual hunt
Unmatched in speed the hunters gained
Approaching fast despite their leads
Fallen found the pirates sprained
Ignoring captives hopeless pleads
Mercy and compassion lacking
Devoted to a creed they serve
Impassive as bodies hacking
A fate these pirates not deserved
Few ever survive the ritual hunt
Few ever survive the night

Screams of the Oskorei

Screams of the Oskorei
Charging from the helm of the oskorei
Upon windy tides doth he ride
Diving at his game from the moonlit sky
Hear their war cries just before you die
A black mass looms
From the abysmal sky
Conquerors of the clouds,
The oskorei
Each pale and gray
Covered in clout
Seizing their prey
With riotous routs
Oh, Wild Night Hunter,
Abductor of those who traverse the hinterlands by the moon light’s touch.
Only ye knoweth the true fates of these unwitting wanderers.
I bid to thee to carry out thy raids with increased haste, ferocity, and consistency.
And while ye driveth thou horde through the starry abyss,
The wolves shall howl in honor of their patched-eye commander
A dissonant offering to the Master of the Wild Hunt
Mounting their assault on the unwarry
Two black ravens fluster and fly
Followed by hordes of screaming valkyrie
Driving down from cloud covered skies
A deadly drove of
Phantom maidens fair
Ride through the clouds
With sword and spear
Led by he who mounts
An eight-legged steed
Lunging forth with
A sharpened stampede
Charging from the helm of the oskorei
Upon windy tides doth he ride
Diving at his game from the moonlit sky
Hear their war cries just before you die
