The Warrior King

He is not coming back
to my dreams
anymore

left in the morning
disappeared in the mist
leaving behind
a horseshoe
and the wind
got lost forever
into mountains
where the wolves
and the ambushmakers
never sleep
just kill

warrior king
Gjergj Kastriot
burning on stranger crosses
for stranger  
gods...

Iskander Bey, a great Albanian. You write a fine salute to him.
