Chapter 5 - Inviting a Dancing Fate

You invite fate to dance on the tip of your spear

Unsheathed to remain pure like a shed tear

You counsel the pain in your heart and reach no answer

No satisfaction in thoughts rendering a path clear

 

No matter what place you travel to

Your image is imprinted in my memories

The starts will guide my route to you

 

You taught me how to draw a dream

And now I fight for its sake

Even when it strays from your stream

And runs into a depthless lake

Reflecting for me an image of you

The targets my spears now crave...

But you cannot believe this to be true

***

The tip of your spear always beckoned to the sun

So what have changed now?

I know none of your promises are yet done

Can you still hold to this vow?

 

No matter what place we choose

Our paths are meant to cross

You try to run afraid of something else to lose

But nothing like the secrets of fate can be gloss

 

Fate dances gracefully on the tip of your blade

Yet barely casts a glance on mine

Though abandoned memories should easily fade

Like your silhouette, they brightly shine

***

How much I long to remain safe in your embrace

To be bathed by the tenderness of your face

But your heart, like your spear, will turn cruel

How can I allow myself alone to remain the fool?

***

You invite fate to dance on the tip of your spear

And try hardly to play along destiny a smart game

Forgetting yourself is solely what you should fear

Losing the redemption you seek to the blaze of fame
