This calender has my sequestered soul aligned with stars beyond this present space, as waves would ebb revealing naked shoal I stand alone outside this time and space. Beyond alien fear in foreign land, confused, unbalanced, babeled punishment, as though to serve some sufferance I'm banned to spend eternity in some torment. And while I carry on this masquerade awash in daylight warding off the blows, marionette in someone's staged charade whose strings are cut for nightime's lonely woes. I'm moving but it's measurement's minute, patiently self deluding there's a goal, reality's that time is in pursuit, the same misplacing time now ticks a toll. Unlike others I strengthen o'er the years determined to unmask the faceless foe, whose arrogance I now hold in arrears for thinking that this place was aprapos. Return me to the crusades and my life, afar this crowded convoluted world, where honesty's the sharpened sword and knife return me there the gauntlet's now's been hurled. |

Wonderfully composed RSWells! The language you have used in this flows so beautifully, and is so perfectly in sync with the sentiments portrayed. I really enjoyed this lovely piece. Best wishes, /Kit |

Thank you Voiceless for such effusive praise, Mysteria for your appreciation and Kit for your encouragement. This fantasy is a bit different for me but in truth, I do and have often felt this isn't my time and as though I'm "stuck" here. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |
