He is of the new
Old lines die out
The old becomes the new
He is of them

He is One with dark
The Old ones live
Through his bloodline
Old Kings and heroes

The Queens long cold
laughing sweetly
Like honey on his tongue
Memories of crowns on his brow

Old like the New
New As the Old
Deep red lips and the
Great secrets they hold

Old legend of Thrones
Of Silver and Gold
Of castles in clouds
In him are Retold

Yet alone he stays
For New Blood
Prestige and heart
No longer needed

And from this world Depart
Arthur and Merlin
Guinevere and Gwain
all live in the stars

From this world
which they loved
Are shown only disdain

------------------
Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

Nicely done.

Illusion...what we see and what we do...it's all up to you.

Oh Walter,I like very much!

"old legends of Thrones
of silver and gold
of castles in clouds
in him are retold."
My favorite stanza!

Jenny
