along the Eerie Mists ravishing stream,
I was without armor in cloak and hood
I was immersed in a clear mornings dream.

Placing her pure kerchief upon my breast
beneath orange shields gold raised falcon crest,
sol's emblazoned heat inflames shaking steel
lance gripped steady by armored hand linked mail.

Clouds shaped like bearded angry gods hovering over the vale
blowing penchant winds across the receding dark forest turf
frightened leaves awakening their brothers to the coming gale
trees digging their fingered roots deeper into trembling earth.

autumnal dispatch of the changing leaves
forested approach to your gorgeous rock
carved heart expressions of my boyish dreams.

blanketing, compressing my senses crawling on treasonous ground,
seminal awareness extinguished in the wick of midnight's breath
as false forms surround me in the silenced depth of dying sound.

Medieval Knight replete in golden tones
your battleships invade our cliff side home,
three crosses dress your helmet and your vest,
two dueling swords proud two armed countenance.

Or solemner works should deem them unfair
Undisciplined roads are the path I choose,
And through thorny brush that the scythe lay bare
