You Are Not My Hero

This is a dated piece. It reflects the confusion of old love gone dead. It's just a taste of a poet's emotion when the time strikes for conditioning. It happened to me with this demon seed. It happens to a lot of people. Don't give me your pity. I deserved what I got for being stupid.I lived...fogave him and myself and moved on. Life and love has been better for me since then. ~SKdeV~


There’s no such thing as ever after
You failed me as a hero
There’s no such thing as compassion
Well, at least, as far as you know of
There’s no shred of your inner shine
When gloom shrouds your fate
In cold remorse you neglected love
Then you failed me as a mate.

For you are not my hero
Just dead seconds of yesterday
No!~ You failed me as a hero
I’ll no longer sing your praise
No kingdom for this “King Arthur”
No honor, truth or trust
No compromise with wisdom
Just years that turned to rust.

Forget it! You’re no hero
You don’t control my heart
For you are a man in a dead-end
Your heart is crude and dark
No light with your pompous side
No longer can I grieve
No ever after for this dream
And no hero…I believe!

There is a distance that suggests the emotion is over--the thrill is gone?

The Grail Bearer is astrologically and mythologically represented by the Chariot of King Arthur, whose return is anticipated in the person of the next Grail King.



"The name Ursa Major, according to The New English Dictionary, 'appears to arise out of the verbal association of the star name Arcturus with Arturus or Arthur, and the legendary association with Arthur and Charlemagne...' In Welsh lore, the constellation is seen as a symbol of the Celtic King Arthur; his name, it is claimed, is derived from Arth-Uthyr, 'the wonderful bear'. So it was that the early Britons saw Arthur's Chariot in the great constellation; 'Arthur's slow wain [wagon] his course doth roll in utter darkness round the Pole...'. Furthermore it has been suggested that this constellation, with its circular route, may have led to the notion of the round table (The Zodiac)...



"ARCTURUS... A golden red star situated on the left knee of Bootes, the 4th brightest in the sky.



"Arcturus takes its name from its nearness to the sky Bears, Big and Little Bears, Ursa Major, and Ursa Minor. From Arktouros or Arctophilax, 'the Bear Guard and also called 'the Bear Watcher'. The 'Herdsman', or 'driver of oxen' are other titles.



"According to E W Bullinger (The Witness of the Stars), a biblical interpreter of the constellations, the ancient Egyptians called Bootes Smat, which means one who rules, subdues, and governs. They also called him Bau, which means also 'the coming one'."

Susan,

We do what we have to do in order to be strong, in order to survive. A powerful write, and I agree with Felix...never stop believing.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I lived...forgave him and myself and moved on.

Sometimes, that's about all we can really do.

I concur with Felix below completely, Susan
Take for example.George Lucas's Star War's Triligy, and in particular the anti hero Darth Vadar, even Vadar has a good side, which was controlled by the Dark, until Love liberated him in Glory !
Learn, bless your enemies and foes, and move on, and don't look back !

Love teaches us many lessons, even bad love has it's purposes. The trick is not to give up in believing in love or the dream that there still are knights (and damsels) out there worth loving.
