Before the Gates of Alahsar - Version - 2 - 30

Brave are the knights and their mounts, 
to face hates abominations,
many of them were falling,
under the weight of Hell, they fell.
Still, we see many standing, 
they fight on with such angry power,
It seemed they would not stand for long,
honour kept them in the fight.
The knights did surely need rest,
some began to sway under enemy strength,
the heavy armour was sapping them,
Only power of spirit held them aloft.
Many fell within their armour,
without heads, arms, legs and heads,
Still, look how their weapons bite home,
the enemy are falling.

Behind the main units of foot,
some men stood, not seeming in the battle,
these warriors ran to the right,
they formed into a unit as they ran.
These, those souls who had run from the field, earlier,
fear seemed to have left them now,
they formed on the right flank,
fully formed they looked a sorry site.
Forward they did march,
pride swelling within them again,
they marched straight up the right,
look at them now and wonder,
someone yelled, "Forward,"
this rag-tag unit was off,
the unit ran towards the enemy,
each man ready to die for Alahsar.

Now, all the first knights were in the battle,
they thought like the red,
once more they fought for the life of Alahsar,
they thought with love's desire.
As they did run into battle,
can we see the golden gates open?
Yes, the great golden gates do open.
A golden warrior is seen.
it is the golden king,
from gold rode gold,
with the golden king rode the royal guard,
out they came at a charge.
200 of Alahsar's best followed the king,
this was the last card played,
they rode onto Badicha,
the earth thundered below them.

Now Badicha was filled with knights,
enemies, warriors and spiritual beings,
this was the final fight for existence,
No more forces could be called on.
It was truly to the end,
the fate of the world in one monumental moment,
the right flank might soon crack,
terror was in many eyes.
The wolves were indeed a terror,
they had no fear,
their mouths ever ready to rend,
blood and saliva dripping from their mouths.
Their claws ever ready to tear,
they could rip through armour,
the wolves could give forth a terrible death,
yet this death had to be faced.

Premium Member To My Darling

You are the sun, the moon, and the stars,
  the very breath of the universe.
Everywhere I go,
  the thought of you accompanies me.

The flame of the candle
the ruffle of the Springtime breeze,
the smell of the freshly cut flower--
  Yes, they are wonderful, my darling,
  but you surpass them all.

O, Ecstasy!
When your gaze meets mine,
  The angels of heaven sing in full-throated chorus,
  The oceans give forth their mighty roar,
  And the very Universe trembles in dumbstruck awe.

If ever you would leave me, my darling,
The sun would be blotted from the sky,
My world would collapse in upon itself,
  Turning into a deadly black hole--
  I into a silence-singed dwarf star.

Redemption

Redemption 
She slowly uncoiled her gray streaked hair that fell to her waist. She removed her 
spectacles to see more clearly the windswept icy snow clinging to the branches. A 
pause, settling something deep within; then her gaze shifted to me.
I reached out, but found my reach was frozen, too stiff to touch her. For if I touched 
her, the burden we shared would lapse and slide away, slinking off to be buried, 
uncoiled under the ground.
A pinched, dour expression settled her features into a mask that would never 
betray the inner darkness which created a shadow of an existence. A mask that I 
must wear as well, to ward off the hopeless life within me, growing every moment of 
the day, days upon days retreating into the too long nights, hopeless to survive in 
the world we have created, together as “want” and “ruthlessness”.
“I carry no idolatries, no false hope.” A breath are these words as I receive them, 
knowing they are too bold to give forth a safe humility.

 The nurse, starched clothing as stiff as her countenance, paused, a look of 
condemnation briefly shadowing her face, the sun passing in and out of the clouds. 
She could not help herself. No matter the role we are chosen to play in this world, 
we are not free of a deeply flawed human nature, ice softening dangerously on a 
winter’s pond. I turned away.
I  came to hours later, the rejected life in me  gone, a searing through flesh never 
immune to a free will taunting, tearing the fabric of life so fragile. I would not cling. A 
passing briefly witnessed, a single brown leaf blown by the window in the darkened 
room where we sit for tea, hopes slowly elapsing like the sea waters
receding.
Tomorrow we can only envision; today we must let go of a part of us we will never 
again possess. A coursing through the veins of life no more, we push, and push, an 
existence wishing to sink into the yawning chasm of what is unknown and coming 
for us.

(start 1:06)In the dark of the lonely night
When the stars don't give forth their bright light
And the ocean's waves are so still 
Please embrace me

Come to me oh my love
My dearest Turtledove
Come to me and hold me now
You're gentle touch is so envigorating somehow
Inspiring, enchanting, enchanting
Oh! my love

In the dark of the lonely night
My love for you is just so right
Emmanuel you're my guiding light
Emmanuel my love

Yesterday's Youth

You strong and 
untammed youth of 
yesterday, tramping 
under your feet the 
fears of yester-years, 
why now did you 
think twice?

Those days when 
your blood were hot 
like lava, and pure 
burning bristle flashes 
forth from your eyes, 
what is it that has 
corb you?

Mightly youth of 
yesterday, you who 
set coals ablaze with 
just the breathe of ur 
nostrils, when you 
give forth your 
roar,with voice 
echoing like the 
thunder of angry 
gods, oh who dared to 
stand? But why now 
are you calm?

When your blood 
ranges within your 
vains, tempesting and 
thossing like a 
troubled sea, who 
was there to contain 
you? None.

Why now oh youth 
once filled with 
valour,fame and 
strength did you 
tremble before give 
birth mare words and 
leaning on a mare 
staff before to you 
as straw, for balance 
and support?

Oh youth of 
yesterday, your 
mortal nature escape 
you, but age is back 
frm exile ,blessing you 
with every vile 
mistery and each bile 
feeling you escaped at 
youth.

Dear youth, still fresh 
like tender dew, don't 
be drunk with the 
wine of youth, 
someday old age will 
return from exile.


Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow

One day my child, I shall not see your face,
Nor hold you in my arms on this fair earth.
My voice, once filled with song, will leave no trace
And all I owned will be of no real worth.

Yet still the stars in clear night skies will shine,
The rose in bloom give forth its pure, sweet scent,
Warm sun shall swell the fruit tree and the vine,
The pulse of life beat on though mine be spent.

And though at first deep grief will fill your heart
To lose the bond of love which we have known,
I pray, your life in which I shared a part
Will reap the seeds of joy which we have sown.

Through faith in God our lives will touch once more
When by His grace you cross the sun kissed shore.
