No Victory Poem by Barry Middleton
No Victory
I found the mountaintop
and saw eternity
I swam from the riptide
with fear as my companion
I dared the demon's lair
to call the dragon's bluff
I defeated every foe
and left them far behind
I turned the hurricane
and fled the fire of war
But victory was lost
when love abandoned me
Beautiful n poignant. Love is the best part of life. No victory is worth having if we are defeated in love.

A very touching poem. Whatever our accomplishments may be, they are worthless if love is not present to bear witness. A profound message, succinctly stated.
Thank you for reading and commenting. It happens to everyone at least once.
