A love song by Sir Godwin Fulcrum from my fantasy series The Ashborne Chronicles:
I’ve walked beaten paths
Through thorns and thistle
While clouds cracked
On nights so fickle.
I’ve cried in fields
Drenched in shadow,
Alone, forgotten,
Left to fallow.
But never did I know
How our love would grow
Ere I took my place
In your warm embrace.
And friends I’ve buried
Below nameless grounds
Where the ravens flock
And their horrid cry sounds.
Ghosts follow
Down every way
Moaning in mists
Til light of day.
But never did I fear
With my darling near
The aches and woes
And relentless throes.
And never will I run
When day is done,
For naught is above
Our joy, our love.
He Who Wanders
