FIGHTING A LOST BATTLE

Through the desert of defeat he makes his way

Trying to find a place where his broken body could lay

Dragging himself along with a hope to find rest

As the sun abandons him and sets in the west.

The woods stare at him throught the deep forest darkness

Nocturnal birds whisper softly his battle is hopeless

Thorns and brambles,stones and sand

The sword now trembles in battle weary hands.

Cold winds sweep gently freezing his soul

The wounds of defeat in his heart left a hole

Dried leaves and dead flowers,branches and twigs

To find his lost honour ,through the graveyard of time he digs

Darkness of night or the darkness of broken wishes

Lost in his quest the way to his end he searches

The shadows of the night darkens his path

On a broken man fate unleashed its wrath.

A battle all his life he has fought for her

In a quest to find her love he has lost  himself forever

Plunging to the bottom ,a never ending fall

To gaze at her for a moment he has given up all.

He still remembers every dream that they wove

He still waits for her though he is not her love

Cold nights as he lay his head on the ground

He can still hear her coming though her feet make no sound

The spirit is willing though the body is weak

Rejection and pain has bought a warrior to his feet

Love in his heart dream in his eyes

Though tonight in her grave his love lies......
