His story

Author: Bilal Hamid

The Love of yours

Languid blood.

Lost history

Sat clutching clumped hairs,

Figuring swigging.

At an empty goblet.

Clueless.

Lusty were his swigs. Who was the martyr,

the hero, the knight, the king or that star

that saw me tonight? From a million years

ago in time.

Looking for the past, follow now, see all

A bright knock on the door

A voice rang a bell

Sleepily history answered

A baby nestled thorn leaves white roses

cloistered the babe.

He came from the woods.

Night held silence.
