The Smile of the Unvanquished

rising from the living flames of crespuscular might, his smile defeats the poisonous breath of brumal gloom. time after time, unaffected by the world's disgrace, you mount the the white horses running across a roiling and wrathful sea. fatigue forgotten, thirst quenched by sleek and untamed horizons aglow, he heeds to to their shrouded errands. while the balming breeze washes over his progress, under the dimmest haze of starry archipelagoes, he grafts his destiny into the phantom helix of immortality.

never a hireling to ambrosial casuistry, armoured against the ruthless brokers, who encapsulate an army of fools on islands of concrete, and the loftiest temptation widely sought out in lewd solicitations parrying by rapier, this heart quickened to life where earthlight and shadowfire meet, compels itself to rise above its own borders, shouldered by the timewind, to roam beyond the crespuscular gulf in a long journey home towards the Midsummer Eternity.
