Destiny

Life’s journeys all on a map At cross roads we meet Destiny is defeated I continue to drink from the vines of my past As you drown in the illusions of your tomorrows Fate drinks the blood of destinies defeat The kiss of death Shall join us in our loneliness Passions defeated army Shall march on Towards another red valentines Notes: There I drained out all my poetic happiness, I am back to normal now!

I'm glad - for a minute there, I was worried. Arthur; does our destiny meet up with fate and death. How does that work? Maybe - you should write a poem about -- hope, love, destiny, death and fate. I just know that you can come up with something great. Thanks for sharing... Lucilla
