A red moon cast on a folly filled night Humans hid away in fright A haunting melody was in the air tonight For the Bone King had arisen from his lair
A lone maiden of silky woven red dared For she ventured into lands mortals bewared Slowly following the music of the dead Not knowing where it led
She encountered the King amongst the tombs of the undead The land around him had already dwindled Not even a single flower had remained But she did not dare fleed
Slowly she took his bony hand As they danced amongst his land The Bone King was in disbelief Why was this fair maiden not scared?
“Maiden, wherefore art thou not afraid? I dareth not guaranteeth thou art safe, f'r I am but a monst'r.” “Why should I be afraid of the most magnificent being ever made? My king, you fail to understand, for our souls are a reflection of one another.” "I am a monst'r, am I not? F'r all apart from thee did withdraw, leaving me withthe sc'rn undead." "You are for them, my King. But what value do the words they utter hold? Beauty rests in the eye of the beholder."
"And f'r me, thou art the most wondrous."
This is my personal edit on a short poem under the video "Waltz of the Bone King". Credits for half of the poem and for the idea that sparked my interest go to "Infinite Daydreams"
