The Idiot and the Oddity Part 1

I must apologize, This piece is quite lengthy, but it was inspired by Homer's epic story. I hope you like it. The Idiot and the Oddity by Jerrius Curtpopolius Page 1 Troy Some walls were built to last forever Some were made to fall But the one you built between us Was the strongest of them all As I stand here on the barren beach Gazing at you city I do admit, that what I see Is Strong and Grand and Pretty Why did you take, your love from me Did I, not treat you well Wined and dined, to make you mind And swear to never tell But then you left, And with you took The love, that filled those halls Then fled across, the open sea To hide behind these walls How could you touch my hand? Now void of all affection And even gaze upon my face Without a fond reflection Be it I, behind, Your walls And You exposed upon this beach I would open wide my gates And inward you beseech Page 2 But I, the fool and you the wise Have carried off my love And I would launch a thousand ships To free a single dove Because I can, only Measure What buys, rents or pays And never seek, the pleasure To consider love that way So here I stand, outside your wall Shall this be war between us Where love once shared, hate now lies bear For all the Gods have seen us I bear no shame, for love is madness And on you, I cast no curse For having never loved at all For me does seem, much worse It’s sad to think, that we must clash And maim the flesh we cherish Soon, some will cry and some will die But all of us will perish If I could but, close my eyes And leave this lonely shore Then say goodbye to my heart And vow to love no more Page 3 Then Gods be praised, for it would save A million men or more Still, another way would save the day If thou opened up thy door Still no reply, my ears must lie For we were close in spirit Your heart and mine, so intertwined I did not have to hear it The moments come, I see you there Perched high upon your wall You hold my heart, within your hand You really have some gall You gaze at me, as if I were Beneath contempt, a savage But I am, what I was back then The victim you did ravage Now draw your sword and meet thy fate My harden steel awaits thee Before we’re done, there’ll be just one And both of us, be set free Your gate now opens slowly As your men rush into line The stench of Battle thickens Now your men are facing mine To be continued.............................
