Let us always remember the spoils and pain, as generations change, to the winner goes more, as does culture and cost

A help stays in palace this time as truth feeds a cruel lie


she tows the mark of love ane her body pure as day


Intimidated by the will beyond her control


This time will be the last time


As star rises in darken sky


All run and play


She must stay


Tend the pots


Brew hot


Flame new


Embers


Sear


Mark her


Skin


 


Little words stream from mouths of hunger


Inn of future escapes to the river


Time monitors established rules


Views of heaven and hell


Pass as duty calls


 


In weeping time all lines roll


Forwarding beams streaming past


Linger a bit long


Voices of choices beckon


Gaiety of song and dance


 


Heat advances past station


Pale white skins draws lovers


Fade of sun comes in pretence


Trust turns lust to be a palace


Royal bed severs heads of tribute


Time is but a moment in vision


 


As love passes doors of resting


So a heart and body mend


Little feet join in pleasure


Open gift of full


Hunger only is


A feeling


As soul


And body


Are clothed
