The Destiny I've Avoided

Published on Feb 24, 2023

Have you seen dreams of prosperity,
Where men shall be free
And women are among their destined places.
This is my world, for with I have created evil
In a mass of darkness—
That has encircled the Earth.

Who could remember the love in my heart,
No one for I hath killed them all—
Who dared to tread on my ground in my land.
This shall be my creation;
My fears!
My desires for depression!
Never has a man, nor any—
Wielded themselves upon Excalibur's blade,
Wishing for their lives to bring them more pain
And agony to an already bloody end.
I have knocked on it once or twice,
Death's door,
Ceasing only because the door was locked to me.
His door was shut to me, a door leading
Beyond heaven into a realm
Of beliefs and fantasies of a man who has dreams.

Now all I can do is write,
My only window from the past
And into my deepest and unchained hearts hope.
