Merging with the shadows
Splitting air in two
Blends into the fray
Ebon eyes and clothes
Blades and poison
Claws and stealth
A peasant, farmer, or merchant
Soldier of enemies
Entertainer or zealot
Demonic heart
Ethereal form
Smoke and mirrors
A death unknown
Chaotic neutral
A lone wolf of death
The one that never
Touches the morning
Sliding through traps
Destroying and capturing
Plans or deception
Seen outside
A coldhearted death-dealer
Inside a truth
A knight of secrecy
Either view
Has flaws
But then
What are the stars and the moon
To the evening?

High School Poetry Part 2, Creature Themes (Dragon, Phoenix, Angel, Demon, Elf)
Dragon
A blazing and powerful figure,
Sails and swims through the sky like a king.
Erupting from its mouth, a red cloud,
Covered like the defense of castles.
Jutting from his back, the world awaits.
And all around him, is sustenance.
And his realm is limitless-and yet,
Not all is controlled by this warrior,
The crashing tide beckons him to come,
Yet-he knows that to dive towards azure,
Is obscure death to this lord of fire…
Phoenix
Crimson feathers dying above,
Fresh souls appear in death’s hearth.
The wings of undead float again,
Floating, flying, flaming, falling.
Its soul is purged by heat and darkness,
Spiraling towards the deathless pits.
New breath is smothered as it flies,
Over and again, flame flickers.
But over and over, fuel is added.
Red emerges, fuel given new,
Only to go again in speed.
Then the bird’s psyche comes,
Once more, to die over again…
Angel
A look of justice across its face
Eyes of silver shine like crystal
Wings of light blind all who see
Stepping through halls of gold
Its mind is devoted to life
Allegiance to the Lord of Light
Its nature is that of peace and good
Its only fault is in its pride
Demon
A grin across a black visage
Eyes of crimson narrow in anger
Claws of shadow slice through air
Skulking through hell’s furnace
Its mind is intent on death
Allegiance to the Lord of Lies
Its nature is that of pain and evil
Its only fault is in its rage
Elf
A tiny figure bounds through branches,
And can call the very roots to walk.
As the throb of life pulses to all,
The beasts of the undergrowth obey,
Only these masters of the trees.
But even if life is near its end,
The lords of life will always prevail…
