-
The scent of wood smoke in the autumn air,
Mingles with dappled rays of sunlit gold.
-
I waited there for you.
For years I hid beneath the sun,
-
It's time again. I've been here before,
but I never get enough of that feeling.
-
When seven times seventy years wither, The world slumbers amid a spider's web.
-
I look at you every day and wonder what I did--
what could I have possibly done to deserve you?
-
I've seen some odd ones in my time,
Surely I've seen the best and worst.
-
You might term me 'gentleman' if gentility of manner is decided
by the starched perfection of a cravat and a banal nature in hiding.
-
Angel of the morning, huh?
Scrapin' for a living.
-
Barren ice and howling wind,
Stretch between a sea of fir.
-
They told me I was crazy.
It's never going to work, Kid.
-
Another day in plastic paradise,
Prowling my concrete jungle alone.
-
The shield wall sang its deep throated song,
As spears clashed against linden wood.
-
Through driving rain and blinding snow,
I spurred the valiant creature on.
-
The bitter taste of rejection was still sour inside me,
And the ache was turning me black with raw hate.
-
It's no secret that knighthood has but one qualification.
One of your parents was wealthy, and the king needed gold.
-
We came from the hills and mountains,
the barren cold of shallow earth and uncut stone.
-
Do you see what you've done?
Can you taste the heat of blood?
-
One stray flake of crystal drifting
to land with a silent sparkle.
-
One more drink to chill the guilt
and slam down my screaming conscience.
-
I've waited outside the norm,
seething on the fringes of your world.
-
Iron buckles cool against hot flesh; / Grit and leather rubbing sore spots. / The smells of sweat and horse / In every forced deep breath. / Glaring sun beating on bronze, / Thirst leaving my lips cracked. /
-
They Come. Shake the ground, legions of doom;
-
I've listened to your garbage, and I've watched your days play out.
-
Out of the West a nameless man will come, his body cast to shore amid a gale.
-
I've waited here all day, trapped in mist and shadow... waiting for you to call me, waiting to let my spirit go.
-
Our time has faded into the past; no longer do we roam in the open. The land has grown crowded, the covenant of man broken.
-
Breathe into me, gods of war, the life of your fallen faithful.
-
For conquest and for battle, for fire and cold steel I will rise up from the darkness and break the final seal
-
Hardened leather scorched in the flames of Hell wraps around my breast. A helm of bronze, crowned by the horns of a red-eyed bull shields
-
I know she waits for me, somewhere out there. Dark eyes of velvet blue watch from the next life.
-
Tawny body wreathed in shadow, laced with raw desire, Gleaming eyes of amber...blazing with cold fire.
-
I would make a good big brother, To stand right by your side.
-
My lady strikes the chord of reponse inside me, Yearning to match the sound of her own melody
-
For seven long years he plied the seas, Then come to port each dreary winter.
-
There once was a mermaid who lived in the sea, A merry twinkle in a sailor's eye.
