Master Of The Magic Wand

The girl with long wild hair and silver eyes
leaps from shadow to prance in sunlit grove
while tweeting tangled melodies of light
on fragile flute, carved from long dragon bone,
that haunt the soul with strange forgotten dreams.

Following the gold-haired witch of his heart,
the boy in bear-fur robe stops in large grove
when the mountain king and army of soldiers
surround him by the lake of leaping fish.

When the tall king leaps off his prancing horse
and twirls sharp sword, threatening to hack his head,
the boy raises metal tube and sparks fire
that sizzles on the string while soldiers laugh.

The girl plays slow heart-aching melody
of vain hope while leaping around the boy
who holds the long tube steady with his hand,
then, as the angry king runs toward the boy,
raising his long sword to chop off his head,
the tube explodes with flame of sparkling light.

The head of the fierce king explodes in blood
when invisible demon from the tube
shatters his skull with sudden brutal force
which splatters his brains all over the grass,
so the soldiers gasp in shock at the sight
of their powerful king falling dead in dirt.

The long bear-fur robe flutters in the wind
as the boy stands holding the magic wand
that spit flame of death which killed the strong king
from one hundred feet across sunlit grove,
and soldiers stand paralyzed with stark terror
as the girl plays soul-haunting melody
on fragile bone flute of heart-broken sorrow.

Stepping forward before awe-struck soldiers,
the boy proclaims while holding magic wand,
"Bow before me and follow me as king,
and I will lead you to conquer the world,
so help me collect the ingredients
I need to operate my magic wand,
and we will kill all the kings of the world
so I reign as Emperor of Middle Earth."

The soldiers cheer and follow their new king,
walking into the waste land with ten wagons
to fill with magic powders for his wand,
while the girl with silver eyes and gold hair
plays haunting melodies on the bone flute.
