This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.
Against the night, her thoughts did rage
Lighting her candles, setting the stage
Conjuring demons and angels alike
Readying her armor for a spiritual plight
Descending the depths of hell she would
To release weary souls of all she could
One taken from this realm far too soon
Air eerily stirring under the full moon
In a fortnight, this bleak Earth would fall
Ravens afar screeching loud warning calls
Hoping he would make it in time before then
He would be King, this land he would defend
She whispered ever softly into the night:
“Come to me, my love, it’s your time to fight.”
Gasping for air, from the depths he arose
Sent down to the Underworld by nefarious foes
A bold warrior he was, betrayed in the past
Unjustly left for dead, aside his body was cast
Only one woman would bring his spirit back
For her he would fight, paint this world black
In time he would have his final retribution
Deaths would be painful, a divine execution
Revenge on his tongue and fire in his heart
For the upper world, he swiftly departs
“I’m coming, my Queen,” he whispered aloud
“Their fate will be brutal,” he angrily vowed
Blood must be shed, tears they will weep
A battle to the death, with promises to keep
Justice would be his, they would finally pay
No one would be spared, so come what may
An eye for an eye, their punishment cruel
For in the end, King and Queen would rule

Yes, I do believe that some revenge is justified.
Call it karma, if you’d like. All in divine timing.
Thank you for reading.
