as this morning's light unveiled your face I fleetingly wondered if it was still yours of if today was a dream a dream within a dream a poem within a dream a dream within a poem the light reaches the city flooded in my tears turning all to rust until my eyes can't cry by Charles Fry To the Legion by Tom Lokovic The sacrifice we make today will live in song for future kings, but first our story was beheld by Janus in the dawn of things. Before the ancient cities rose, before the primal morning light, the destiny of worlds was writ for Janus of eternal sight. The Owl of Minerva knows the path a mortal man should take, but where the path will lead is known to Janus in the Temple Gates. To Mars I dedicate my sword. For Rome I go to fight and die. I end today as I began: in Janus's immortal eye. Shade only feels real, Plays upon the creature's face Once evil, now kind. by Chris Monson A Deer at the Forks by Dominic Widdows Deer drinks where two rivers meet, Dreams a third, forth as yet unseen Drives a fountain, settlement prospers Under darker skies. City of rust Our love turns to flood, looks forth To a clear and humble way So the dear to come may Dream where two rivers meet. © - The works on this site are the copyright of the respective authors, and are reproduced here with permission. |
