JB

So much time has fallen beside the river…!

History
is a heartbeat
… tapping the soul……… and then
beating slowly upon an old drum
… calling
to the rhythm of life
fading unto a battlefield.

… and then I see
your eyes reaching to mine
… and far
so far into my heart,
… touching me!

… yet frightened
by the revenge of my soul.
as I become that angel;
… dark angel;
so deadly
so… alone
and
stone cold.

……… eyes!
burning in the sweat
and the hate!

A final soldier,
now
dying unto old age,
… yet alive… somehow,
somewhat,
just old…………… and for now,
still
burning.

It is a sad thing JB.

… yet it is Victory!

Welcome me
my friend…
finally,
and forever!

Welcome me home!
