Hey, guys! Here's another poem. It's about the Battle of Camlann. I was inspired by the vision Merlin had in Merlin 5.1
The Battle of Camlann Part One - A Traitor in Our Midst
A battle,
Worse than any I have ever been in
Blood,
Everywhere
Staining the grass red,
And my hands crimson
Bodies,
Piled on top of one another
Black flags littering the ground
My heart beating
Faster,
Faster!
My eyes flickering,
Seeking,
Looking….
For someone
It's not hard to find him
He's the only man
That is still standing
Besides me
…. Merlin
His raven black hair
Making him stand out
Against the sky
His red neckerchief
Catching the wind
Waving,
Like a proud flag
He starts calmly walking towards me
Then,
As if he has just noticed something,
Starts running,
Eyes opened wide
My head turns to where he is looking
I see a second man,
Also from our side
…. Mordred
What's the matter
Then, everything clicks,
Makes sense
I finally realize
The importance of all of Merlin's warnings
Why he wanted me to kill
My newest knight
When he has such a kind heart
The only time
Merlin wants to kill someone
Is when that person
Wants
To kill
ME
I slowly straighten up,
Wearily,
Every bone in my body
Crying out in protest
Mordred is now in front of me
He slowly,
Calmly,
Pulls out his sword,
As if he has no choice
But to do so
His face is void of emotion
As if what he's doing
Carries no importance at all
When, it does
When the whole of Albion
Is hanging by a single thread
Because of him
Because of HIM
My eyes are moist,
Betrayal hazing my vision
Our swords slowly crash together
I have no energy left
To fight
I'm drained,
Spent,
I feel my body crumble
I'm on my knees, now
I ready myself for the blow
Prepare myself for the strike
And, then,
I hear a voice call out
"Stop! Don't touch him! Kill ME instead."
