By Gabriel Foster

He wore his failure like naked
Leaves exposing his soul.
She wanted to take away his pain,
Set sail to it on the river and ignite
The fire that would eventually
Burn away his missteps.

He wanted her forgiveness above all,
For these were her lands, her home
And her realm, and he was grateful
She allowed him and his kind
To live here in Henislight.

He looked at her dripping in his
Own disappointment, shame and
Grief.
His weary eyes looked upon her
Magnificent wings, nails and fangs.
If only he was half the warrior, she
Was, the small band of his warriors laying
Dead at the forest edge would be alive.

She wanted to tell him that his failure
Isn’t the type of clothes
He’d have to wear the rest of his life,
That beyond the backstabbing
Whispers and snickers,
It was important for him to get back
Up with his courage whom was his mistress.
Show off his mistress to the enemy and lead his
Army to the war to end all hellish wars of the Old Era.
