Closing Time

Doom is heralded and approaching, slowly encroacing,
in my mind seditious thoughts do feature and breed.
Yet in valour I am constant and unbending,
for chivalrous I am, both in nature and deed!

Slowly mine heart with blood, with pain be stain'd,
for even the strongest of spirits cannot forever endure.
When so swiftly the kindling flame of hope is dimm'd
long have it's companions been doubt and constant failure.

To look upon so bleak a future, with it's dark aridity,
and yet dare to face it with courage, tenacity, audacity.
To laugh at life's crudity, to brave a harsh reality,
I shall be faithful in love and dauntless in adversity!


"I woke up and just hated everything." I've always wanted to say that! Now I actually have an occasion to. Not that I hated anything today, this was largely done on impulse. But it IS a start of something else, hopefully something new, different and good.
