The child of
a desert wind
and a mystery …
he swept across the land

Knighting each moment
with martial intent …
death
at his command

All enemies chosen
with glorious care …
each battle
zero sum

His legend immortal
written in blood …
the future bespoken
—eternity's son

A friendship carved in stone
Strange markings only recognisable to those connected by fate
Destiny spins its wheel
Ever spinning
Ever knowing
We were always ment to walk this way.
The day  feels warmer with you by my side
The wind is less harsh against my skin .
But the sea
The sea still beckons me
Singing it’s song
The sirens call
And I wander  the cliffs looking for a treasure to bring back and lay at your feet
A token of my love
Carved in stone
Like my love for you
born from the womb of understanding
Held by life
Released upon the sea
To float freely on the tide that laps upon the shore.
I find myself slipping
dripping
sipping on old coffee
my useless dreams diminished
my dreamscape world
is all but finished
I don't do well when in this place
it reminds me of a darker space
when I was young
and ran from sleep
to chase off the morning
the dark
the deep
I would plan my escape
until the last fading thought
then awake to the light
that so hard I had fought

I find myself slipping
to a place I once knew
but the nights aren't as dark
for their numbers are few
