[hometext] => The beggining of the Epic tale of Tithonious, if people like it I'll post more, please tell me what you think!
[bodytext] => The War of the Roses The land so green, and the rose so red Spilt blood on a field of petals No magic in the deaths of men Yet they still come, again and again Lambs to slaughter Death stalks Tamarieal once again Three mighty houses set in their ways The Setharian, so proud and arrogant The Remero, lords in their high castles and The Beltrans, nomads to the soul Flint on flint, the first spark and war The snake of evil coils tightly round the hearts of men A single thrush sings its tune The raven pecks the eyes of dead A new atrocity caused by all But no voice for the fallen What hero adorns the dawn? A pawn in the violent game of gods Tithonus steps silently in Death’s field Mouthing prayer to Aurora Aut vincere aut mori, a verbis ad verbera Bright steel gone, leaving rotten He shed a tear, for no one else would Twice crowed then gone, a flash of thought Three days journey to Tyron keep Thought of friends long past Those yet begotten by war and foe Still Tithonus suffered on Setharain lords Nor soul or mind theirs, gold was gold And steel was steel Aut vincere aut mori: Victory or death a verbis ad verbera : From words to action [comments] => 0 [counter] => 438 [topic] => 31 [informant] => ripshark [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )
