She was afraid of heights
But she was much more afraid of never flying
- Atticus
The dawn showed a flamingo sky...
It was the time to say goodbye
Rose she from the arms of her warrior
Strained with memories of love....
The rains swept across the sea
The waters where the enemy would be
Awaiting the dawn for her warrior
Who lay yet unharmed....
She crept low to the porch
Where ashes spread from the nights flaming torch Reminding her of ignited passions
The rains brought in last night....
She danced the dance in his arms
None in the court could miss their charms
Such beauty and grace with valiant adore
Undaunted spirits high.....
Wine from her lips...yearning in his eyes
Adorations spoken unspoken...mutual fervor high
She loved her love all night long
As the sky poured in an endless ardor....
Now she stands watching the grey beyond
One more day....once more if she could bond
The warmth of breath ....the embrace so bold
Endearing intimacy...the besotted delight....
Her warrior must leave and bid adieu
The vibrant pennant the winds that blew
The bugle voiced the final call
She watched in calm her warrior's eyes.....
They embraced each other one last time
Under the sky filled with battle chime
He held her close.... embraced her long
As she knew in her heart she felt him no more..
