Somewhere... out there...

Perfidy

Come friend or foe
say which ye be
What role be yours
in destiny
Would that ye be
fair confidant
a trusted ear
in doubt for naught
Or dost ye come
in selfish quest
to plant the seeds
of hate...detest
If last be truth
I bid ye go
from earthly home
to fate below
Say friend or foe
answer ye now...

With traitor's kiss
he marked my brow

~vlraynes

para siempre te amo

is it just me or is there more to this than it seems on the surface?

beautiful, and yet... *grin* I'm actually pondering

... Even though you're gone ...

I loved this!!!!! It's as if done with an accent of people of days long ago, but in any language, any accent, it's always a deep need to know the truth about someones intentions toward you. I can very much relate to this...veryyy much so!!! I love this old english, like the Bible language.

Vicky, I think we think along this same lines.
There is such truth in this write. I like the
way you chose your words, too. It was perfect.

I really loved this.... I got very vivid imagery from this.... and pain.... and, of course, I like it very much.

You've crossed
several centuries
and brought aged
knowledge
to here, and now...

as Nan said

trust wisely.
