Feelings

Swooped down as plundering hordes Waving bloodied razor-edged swords Angry waves in billowy swell Questing to conquer Heart's citadel. Virtue took heels and vanished from the Room Anger deflated instantly as a pricked balloon Courage stood his ground, eyes clashing steel 'No surrender' he cried, only weaklings and cowards yeild. Mercy recoiled in horror as blood flowed inky red Forgiveness dispatched emmissaries pleading to stop the bloodshed Desperate, the Invader felt the thorns of defeat in his side Switched colour as the chameleon flashing a charming smile. Conjuring up memories clad in sensuous attire Stroking cold embers of an old burnt- out fire But zealous Captain who once perched on the Traitor's breast Imprisoned Mercy and beheaded Forgiveness.
