The Hero Inn

    What life have I, being from where I am?
    A forgotten place like so many that came
    Why does life pose so many thorny questions?
    I’m perfect - imperfect, no Imperfections?

    Who has thrown me such a prejudiced existence?
    With my only pleasure being such ruthless resistance,
    It’s a misleading battle and it briskly beats within,
    Like a devils clown, evil activities retain their grin,

    Nowhere to turn now I search for the Hero Inn,
    And the sudden sanctuary it houses within,
    As a lost soul I nervously knock on its door,
    A shadow answers and calls me once more.

    Its callousness surrounds me with souls once sought,
    Now trapped within with their futures bought,
    Its darkness engulfs my every move and every joint,
    As I focus all my belief towards this one point

    Slowly it seeks an entrance into my weakened body,
    Medicinal Memories flash before me but now I’m nobody,
    Diluted now my blood it tears and rips my heart,
    And as the changes take control the deceptive dream can start.

    I’m a king and this dream is my palace,
    But life has thrown me a poisoned chalice,
    Slowly I sail now through the black lake,
    My eyes are always open but I am never awake.



    comments good or bad would be much appreciated, thanks for reading.

    trajan has been banned from this forum, his criticism is not constructive...he is just plain rude.
    He will be back in 2 weks, if he continues down that path a permanent ban will wash over him.

    Please do continue to post your work ;)
