Love me and
poison me;
give me pain and
bless me with passion –
Let life’s blood flow
between our souls and
bodies;
let me know
how much you care –
and let me feel your warmth around me.
I must feel and
know of your love.
I’m a Knight,
Samurai, and Musketeer –
I fight for all
that I deem honorable
and holy.
I stand fearless
before GOD
and his courts. . .
Death and I are old friends
dancing and drinking
oft together.
The both of them have
seen me through the dark hours.
Death and your love
I’ve danced with both
so oft that I
know them more intimately
than myself.
The corridors
of one’s mind are
often left unexplored
and never fully understood!
In the wee hours
that I must
Walk
in the Darkness of a
Lonely Soul. . .
Where between heartbeats
one’s life is reviewed
and challenged.
I stand
and face
you and all of them
knowing that
JUSTICE, TRUTH, VIRTUE, ODDS and ENDS, and
HONOR;
are the true paths in any world.
I am a KNIGHT. . . a POET. . .
a SAMURAI. . . a PRIEST. . . and a MUSKETEER –
in every court and Kingdom.
