Heart Broke the Mind
-I-
The cold moon glowers solemnly
And the wind bites the traveler
He who walks among the shadow
Looking for the face of Death.

-II-
A leather wrapped book in hand
His feet are bare and bleeding
No water has he to quench
His thirsty throat, cloudy mind.

-III-
The Book he holds close to heart
As once he did the woman
And he can not stop the tear
From falling past his lip.

-IV-
At last he emerges from the shadow
To be seen by the full face of the moon
And in silver glow he watches
His hands ready, his secret revealed.

-V-
The traveler who walked through the night
Now moves as quick as the wind
Approaching the man who lies beneath the woman
A smile on his indecent face.

-VI-
With a cry as low as thunder
And a tear that falls like rain
The traveler spears the heart
Of the one who stole his own.

-VII-
Justice may come to those who wait
But waiting this man could not
And with the very same spear, he drove it
Into his heart, before the woman.

-VIII-
Leaving the book by her feet
The book of love he wrote
And with his dying breath he begged her
To remember her unholy sins.

Definitely an awesome write...

I am completely unable myself to write narratives in poetry...always envy those who can.
