Invincible

Though into a lost realm
Of melodic fastnesses,
My exiled hopes are barred,
I still have seen
The topless towers of Ilium
Rise glowing in your eyes,
And known the stir
Of ageless passions
That dying centuries
May not dim;
Mine, have been the gleaming heights
Of fair Parnassus,
And the lowest depth
Of the deepest sea;
And, though I walk
Misted in purple shadows,
Lost...alone...
Not Death,
Nor even Life itself
May rob me now.

This was a really beautiful one.  I like the imagery you've used here.  It portrays a sense of experience long forgotten, but never really leaving the memory.  Nice work here.
