It is the time to end the blood,
sustain the heart in eye of old.
A thrust, a slice, a dripping
drop in mindless rage
she sings a fruitless song for living.
Her eyes still dark, her lips caress
unspoken words in flight across
what was a childlike grin.
Now grimly touch the flesh against
the battered, swollen cheek;
there life no longer dreams its meaning.
A taste of breath which death bestows
upon the dragon’s broken wing
where mangled roses scream
the end to blood; let blood remain.
Remembered now forever more
beneath the rumor of a war
that once was waged by she
undead, by she whom humans
scorned, by that which bore
the blood, the last blood poured
upon the son of her ashen sword.

Your word choice is fantastic; I just wish I could read it a little better, but maybe it's just me. Anyway, thank you for entering. This is a great piece and I do hope it does well.
