An Ending Night

Twisting shadows

Surround the palace

 

Causing a haunting aura

Keeping guests on their toes

 

Ready to sprint,

at any advancing move

 

Wine is served

 

The waitors sudden movements cause the light of heart to flinch

 

Music is playing

Harpists strumming

 

Nerves are calmed

As the night progresses,

 

The past is forgotten,

Intoxication is bliss

 

A guest is refused another glass

An uprising evolves

 

Shadows and dignity forgotten

a fight emerges on the crowded floor

 

Delightment surrounds the halls

Excitement is in the faces of servailers

 

First bruises

Now blood

 

The opponent backs away

Streaming tears

 

The opponent is led to safety.

The inflictor, pushed down.

 

Muscians attempt to uplift the disturbed

But sweet songs prove frivilous to the matter

 

Some walk out

too much of a night

 

Carridges swerve and crash,

A result of drunk choffers

 

Most make it home

But some die in pleasure...
