Journeyman

I wrote this about a year ago, and as may be evident... I played a lot of roleplaying games then.
--------------------------------------
Falling through this empty place,
a land which has no time.
Soulless people walk these lands,
and the bells they do not chime.

How did I end up in this world,
a world so hollow within.
I guess I should journey forth,
and let my unknown quest begin.

I travel for days without directions,
could be walking in circles for all I know.
Then one day I came to a halt,
there was a man that said he had something to show.

He didn't fit in with the rest,
looked sort of divine.
And he gave me a map of the world,
said that once it was his and now it is mine.

He pointed to a certain place on it,
told me go there right away.
It would take a long time to go there,
but it was obvious the man didn't want me to stay.

So I traveled for days on end,
Saw nothing that had a place in reality.
Most of it an horrid illusion,
some distant part of my insanity.

Until I came to the hut,
the place the man did mention.
There was an smithy there,
and he handed me a weapon.

Told me to battle the small creatures,
that are swarming his lot.
What kind of world is this,
that has such a dire plot?

I had no choice but to do as told,
so I ventured out on his land.
Forward I strode feeling so bold,
never before had I held a sword in my hand.

I saw a creature not far away,
ran to it and with my sword slashed.
I didn't notice another coming behind me,
while I fought one the other my back bashed.

It was good thing they were weak,
or else I would be dead.
So I killed them both,
saw a cave and made myself a bed.

I needed rest and was badly hurt,
that night I dreamt of being a sire.
But that would not be possible,
until my battle experience was higher.

The following day I ran with my sword,
out to the field and did nothing but battle.
Countless foes both strong and weak,
I hacked at them until I saw their bones rattle.

Some had some kind of currency,
which I kept for myself.
In the end of the day I went to the smithy,
and bought some stuff of his shelf.

Now I was a bit stronger,
and better protected.
I was glad with todays work,
and from the server I ejected.

Hehe, nice

Must be harder to make a poem about a game than something else.

reminds me of some lyrics by Phil Lynott
look for the words to Emerald by Thin Lizzy, old stuff but pretty cool
You should write like a bard and tell a tail of a warrior...I enjoy this, keep it up, your holding back...you have talent..
