Ancient One

Ancient One

Do you trust I?
Who alone stands
Amongst your fallen fellows
Not shaking- like your hand

I? You ask of I?
The deceiver of many?
Fine. You speak well.
I am Nothing. What is always feared if any?

Nothing. And Nothing alone am I.
Understand? You cannot.
Do you fear Death?
See? Fool, you can’t understand the lot.

Fear is what I am
Nothing is as feared as Death
I explain no more, Fool. Run.
Live to tell your kin. Or find they’ve left.

Stumble away
You mortal life is quick to end
But once gone
I am, and will be, your friend.

Do not stand and fight!
That is not courage, to die
Alone, saving nothing.
Nothing to save! Do not lie.

Your pitiful life
Treasured, why?
Unknown to me
Run, Fool, Death is nigh

Prefer to stand and fight?
What honour do you seek?
Death? Go, live while you are able.
No, I will not let you peek.

Let you see
What is the deepest mystery of life?
Afterlife?
Truly, why would I put the world in strife?


A single soul
Is not payment for
Such a thing
The idea I abhor

Puny weakling
Leave now! Before my ire
Rends your head from shoulders
I laugh. That is how you fight me? Fire?

Bullets do not touch me
Flame my element be
Beware, strike and become foe
Consequence of that even you must see.

Go now, before I tire
Of your antics bold
Do you wish to live?
Truth only told.

Ah, life is precious
You think your own the best
Pray tell me, when frightened
Do you leave the rest?

No? Oh you think yourself courageous
Well then, Knight
I fought before and won with ease
You’d not be worth a bite.

Look, Foolish man,
My temper starts to fray
Leave! Before a raging flame
Scorches, burns, your skin to flay.

What! You dare call my name
Nothing, I fear Nothing! you cry
The fire within me quickens
My roar shakes the sky

Why do you impugn my honour and pride?
Why have you come?
Besmircher, begone from this place
Rage, wielded by me, will hurt some.

I see you cower
But why the fear?
Bring believers to this place
Nothing, only Nothing, is here.

Shunned by your fellows
Turn not to me
My anger is aroused
I will not come to thee.

I watch him walk away
Shaken, but alive
A spiralling flame wraps around me
He looks back, fear on his face live.
I am gone.
