Vows

Vows

We all need love

We live by Honor

We strive to obey

But we struggle to obey

We fail because we love

It stains our honor

How can we understand honor?

When we only try to obey?

The struggle comes from trying to love

Because with Love, we choose to honor and obey

Sad Eyes

Sad Eyes

The sad eyes sat in the corner so pale

Their soul, their sorrow showed

Remembering days of suns without fail

When they soared and feasted and savored

The knowledge showed in great detail

Falls from grace are meted

Hubris is a twice told tale

That often is repeated

Careful heroes never fail

But rarely are they feted

When inner demons rage and wail

Sad eyes will be entreated

Harpie

Harpie

Along a darkened road

By a glistening brook

A lonely maid sat waiting

For a love to come along

She waited very patiently

She could not comprehend

Why no one ever came looking?

What caused her heart to rend?

Eventually no one remembered

The poor maid waiting there

Till all that was left of her

Was her long luxurious hair

Then there came a minstrel

Lacking proper resources

He used the hair for strings

And the bones for harp pieces

When he brought it to town

The hair played its own tale

The lesson learned by all?

Sometimes even the good fail

A Moment's Notice

Touching in the dark

The only time allowed

Fierce, Furious, Fatal

Time standing still

Ready at moment’s notice to stop

The slightest observation

Could end this rendezvous

Divert their glances

Look, over there!

Now! While they are busy!

Let’s run for the hills!

You and me against the world,

United, we can do anything,

Divide we shall fall, fail, fumble

Is there enough time

To be touched?
