So taken aback was I by the vantage from the tower of my own land’s confines that I gripped hard the balustrade to stop my moorless soul from taking flight
Trees either side of me Like I’m moving sweetly, fleetly, like a carried leaf Down the Anduin If you are born to be King then the lakelady will hand you it An anvil’s weight this unnamed crown leadlike with light-leaking jewels Fine rooms and suites, sweet things Lingering tastes, eyries; high peaks and tubular towers…

I smacked him in the god-chocked chamber where he had gone to raze meat for his patron the lame dwarf Obekus.
Formless language, Daniel sandwiched between Pointy-eared demons and Babylonian Chieftains Torchlit banquet, Banquo angling for my bankroll, carrot dangling bandits Don’t accept offers, refuse plainly don’t overexplain, simply refuse Ripped band aid’s the trick How you say; it doesn’t have to be rude to stick If it’s true, that’s the rule even if they rue…

Vampress
