Time

There's some time-honored glory,
In the twisted roots of rhyme.
Etching out a story,
A shining in the grime.

A white knight haunts in death's delight, 
What in life he couldn't protect.
She'll never stir again despite,
All the sorrow he projects.

The relentless trail he seeks,
Shall never become a path.
The scarlet of her cheeks,
A haunting of his wrath.

Life is lived in desperation.
Death becomes a celebration.
