The KnightHe rises at the break of dawn.The Knight
His golden wavy hair; now ashen and tangled,
His once gleaming blue eyes; now a glaucous shade of grey, He puts on his rusted armor, sheathes his now edgeless sword, Saddles his old stubborn horse.
He thought he would be living his dream, Slaying the dragon; saving the kingdom; rescuing the damsel, Yet, he’s guarding livestock, mending the gates, escorting concubines. And every night, before he slumbers;
He prays a prayer of frustration, a prayer of despair. He looks upon the starry night…and asks why.
DreamsThe epoch of despair, The twilight of sorrow, A savage place; Remorseless and unforgiving.Dreams
A paradise of delusions, The the roc flies, The phoenix soars, The dragon roars, From the distance.
A vortex of sensations, The grandeur of tactility, No one realizes, no one knows, The joy of consciousness, The paragon of life we take for granted.
Seek freedom, seek joy, Not oppression nor anguish, Feel the rush of life at the moment, Not looking back in regret, Nor forward in anticipation;
No words, no whispers,
The dream of dreamsThe heart seeks not of material nor needs, but seeks for innocence. Delicately fragile and yielding, yet rigid and strong. How I wish, to forsake the knowledge of this material world; succumb to my child-like nature. What wouldn't I give, to roll back time, and experience it once more, When I can trully appreciate it. I barely remember the day, when a simple phrase,The dream of dreams
or the sight of trees and sky would bring me joy. How do I long for that pristine humanity, or what we believe it to be.
How I yearn to hear the symphony of angels at sunrise, and the gentle rythm as it sets
Are you happy now?Arm the horses, Raise the spear, Everlasting in your dreams...Are you happy now?
Yonder are you now? Over there in your dream state, Under the illusions of grandeur...
Has the time come now? Asking for your dues, Paying the price, Praying for remorse, Yesterday once more...
Are you happy now?
