Marthinus Carstens Poems

The first day I saw you, was the day
you picked me from the shelf of the Roman Armory
You where young timid and frail,
I made an oath that day,
I will be proud, I will be strong
...

I stare at the vast darkness.
My light about to fail.

I tried so hard to shine
...

I felt Lost, I felt alone.
Nights where cold, Nights where long.

That was till my eyes met yours,
...

The first time you cried it sounded like a horn blowing
I came rushing to your defense
That's the day I promised never to hear that sound again
So I stayed and watched over you
...

Pain, Suffering, Heartache
That was what I once had.

Fighting for the wrong Liege
And killed in his Name.
...
