With deepened heart, of passions bound             

This knight looks onward, through the western sun

 

A shadowed soul

That has embraced

The emptiness so long

Is now caressed

By echoes softened

Of a distant song

 

On cresting tide

Near slumber’s wake

New spark of crying love

Through sleeping words

Dreams far ago

Warms embers lost thereof

 

To venture on

The darkness quest

Sets not from love one free

O’er vast horizons

Misty tears

In heart come now to be

 

More gently than

A zephyr rides

Across the summer’s eve

The whispered fragrance

Of her voice

A lonely spell does weave

 

Unpromising

A love afar

Rings hollow in the knight

But still her magic

Sparks the dream

That wins his noble plight

 

Beyond all hopes

To feel the warmth

And softness of her skin

Will always linger

Knight’s desire

His arms to take her in

 

On desolation’s

Journey now

A spirit cursed to roam

Gives final wield

Of sword to seek

In death a brighter home

 

The story of

Our dismal knight

Has reached a tragic end

In smokey essence

He shall move

With oceans’ wayward wind

 

Upon the funeral’s

Flaming ship

We cast the knight away

Towards the sinking

Blaze of light

At end of gloried day

 

By knight forsaken, hope is found

Though life relinquished, victory has been won
