The Flames Of Mordor

~~~~~~*~~~~~~
The skies grew darker
And clouds furrowed their brows
They grumbled in anger
At the scene on the ground
The earth cracked open
Spurting out fire
Dancing and leaping
And licked at the Shire
Mortal souls screamed
As smoke ate their lungs
Flames tore open their houses
Devoured their young
Dark, shadowy figures
Brandishing chains
Imprisoned the helpless
Fed off their pain
They dragged their souls out
Lavishing each blow
Blood saturating the ground
Shoving hearts down their throats
A thousand miles away
A young hobbit stumbles
As the invisible chains
Give out a low rumble
The Ring bears down
Dragging him to the ground
It bites at his skin
And he screams without sound
He claws at the Ring
Scraping skin off his chest
He swallows more screams
As it burns through his chest
His skin is red and blistered
His eyes hollowed out
He tears out his ribcage
And falls lifelessly to the ground
Awaking from a nightmare
He gasps for unneeded air
And checks for a Ring
He already knows is there
Birds twitter innocently
Despite looming shadows black
As Sam and Frodo wind their way
Up the dark mountain without looking back
