Night Without Hope

by TheBladedancer

The effects of my boredom and an aggravating muse. In short, it's a collection of poems about a few of Salvatore's characters. UPDATE: Malice has been added!

Night Without Hope – Zaknafein Do'Urden

Fallen angels swarm around me in my sleep,

Whispering me to the secrets of the heavens.

I know in this dream-world that my

Hell still exists,

My city of evil and darkness.

And yet, as I lay in my pallet,

Feeling nothing but the drugs of

Tranquillity, soothing my bones

As nothing else can,

I know that my terror and unrest

Will never again plague me as I walk through my city of shadows.

Heavenly happiness mingles in the air with

Terrestrial pleasure,

For I have once again found my soul,

Which I thought I had lost so long ago.

My companion has come to walk beside me,

To help me hold the torch in this world of night.

I am no longer alone in my journey,

And never again shall I feel the

Bitterness – the cold and damning bitterness –

Of the night without hope.

~Zaknafein Do'Urden
