Poetry


Song of Betrayal

Air and the magic fire dances

With the rage of rebellion-- It screams.

Breathless, the warrior rises With a branch of blackthorn He enters the city.

The King of Earth awaits with a shrug

Throws off the challenge sneering

While destiny awaits the prophet's daughter.

Moonlight protects the silent warrior









As he marches to battle

His love dies quietly in the forest.

Air and the magic fire dances

Mortal and dying the warrior cries

"My love, we now are free."

The prophet's daughter shines in the field

Where the blackthorn stands

And from the end of a rope she mourns him.
