The Askance Chapter 6 Part 2a
Aidan The Knight Of The Word
Several weeks has pass and gone
But all I can see is Ei-rian in my mind
Life in my world is harder to breathe on
Had since her diminished light no longer shine
The weight of the dead is heavy
But I couldn’t just let go… I wouldn’t
For it isn’t just the cause of love simply
It’s a passing of a journey shared… forsaken
Life with her I can only remember
Because I can only remember given my this life
A past engrave into my this life in weaver
To only wonder how much longer can I survive?
“And the doors open to reveal her in nude
With her long hair barely covering for full exposure
Of candles burning to glisten her wings of whiten silk
And simply to witness, remains a purity in honest pleasure
So mesmerising was it all as all can only be
With her endless array of books piling ever high
A feather she use to pen her words into memories
Words written to express why dreams never will die”
This was a memory of her I have remembered
Perhaps the only memory to remain true and dear
Years gone, times passed and moments withered
To have lived within and be left with what remains to fear
Gone have you, lived had I?
Once more am I to find myself all alone
Rather I be one be given glory to die
Then live on without you to guide me home
In certainty there is Alkaiya, the Mistress Of War
There for a newfound love be wistfully made bond
Limited to only memories for my this life to recall
I feel… almost unfelt for a feeling in need to belong
And different she can only be, like everyone else
And like everyone, I proceed differently as to how
Yet of love shown, known to my this life I held
Where is to me yet… my one life I am to know now?
And I finally slept… and I knew I’m sleeping
With dreams made no more for the dreaming
Of both worlds… I’m to walk in true awakening
To see to an endless sorrow for me be receiving
“And here I walk within the vastness of my dreams
An endless road to be walking alone beyond any means
In me burns a soul who shall not wander anymore
From a thousand years before, comes a time now to recall
Reborn into a modern world I am to live today
As in me hides the soul who never did fade away
He is the true Knight Of The Word from whence of yore
He is Aidan… hence I am Aidan returning to endure
And I inherited his strength and his abilities to survive
Yet left as well, was his love for Ei-rian I had solemnly derive
