He Lives Now,  A Man With A Broken Sword

 
He lives now,  a man with a broken sword

In youth, a mustang - now a dying breed

In those days his spirit often soared

As once he did, allow his heart to bleed

 

His sword was so oft slashing its way through

Painting red amidst world's wicked decay

Life and Loving, both were so very new

Vowing to defeat this world- his own way

 

Now the memories, they shout - "hold thee fast"

You cannot conquer sad ravages of time

Your victories remain but die is cast

Tis far too late to seek another clime

 

His once shining sword - now a broken tool

He no longer sees dawn's resplendent glows

Too oft wonders if he has been a fool

Having been beaten by life's many blows

 

Looking at the now and what was back then

How he without fear once the dark world fought

His trusty, shining sword once was his pen

Yet in Fate and Time's trap his is now caught

 

With a grieving heart he signals his defeat

No more does his free spirit dance with glee

No longer does his soul each new dawn greet

Sword and pen no longer remedy see

 

He lives now,  a man with a broken sword

In youth, a mustang - now a dying breed

In those days his spirit often soared

As once he did, allow his heart to bleed

********** 

The Clear View That Has Finally Been Found


When the pen and  sword can no longer flash

Writing no longer gifts its sweetest glee

Night's dreams are terrors - aching heart rehash

And dawn's glory fades into poison seas.

 

Truth is too oft a gem so rarely found

Life is an accumulation of pains

Invisible chains,  prisoner earthbound

What of living and true hope yet remains?

 

And life and living sets a darker course

Through evil world, its meandering maze

Nothing can defeat that invisible force

Or serve to stop its dark destructive phase.

 

Now the memories, they shout - "hold thee fast"

Your victories remain but die is cast.
