Sharpest Fracture -
Goodbye,
dear constant soldier of the night
Headstrong;
he who taught me how to fight.
What can we
say, to him whose life betrayed
himself,
daily - now frozen, never to grow old
Never again
to laugh or cry.
You supped
upon their finest poison,
drained that
crystal chalice in a fell swoop,
stumbled to
the nearest window
and awaited
the coming of the dawn
with a new
sense of urgency.
We are those
left with boyhood memories,
of many good
times through the woods
of endless
futures never quite set.
We forged
bonds of weight n stone,
gave meaning
to all the insane wanderings in the dark.
We laughed...
what is there left to say?
You led us
first and foremost, and lead us again now,
apparently a
marked man destined for an endless night.
Hope now, in
your chilled embrace
fated for
the fire.
