Red,

I don't think you remember,

When we first met.

But I do.

Even when your father brought you,

I knew your origins.

You were quiet,

But eventually opened up to me.

Only to me.

I often reminisce about

When we were children.

I would play tricks on the adults,

You would follow me

Then make me fess up.

Like the good boy you are.

The days of our adolescence,

I don't look back so fondly.

Having to hold back my feelings for you,

Hurt more than you'll ever know.

Your youthful smile

Was blinding and beautiful.

I was elated

When we were posed to marry.

I could finally free my emotions.

You could finally be mine.

But,

At the party

Our parents announced the engagement.

I saw you in the shadows,

Sharing a kiss with another man.

It hurt.

I imagined our marriage

Would fix you.

But it didn't.

You wouldn't change.

So the flower of my purity

I sold to some mongrel.

I vowed then,

To fix you myself.

But you pierced every wall

I put in your way.

I still held hope

That you would eventually

Choose me.

Until that jackal

That harlot

Whisked you away from me.

But I did it now.

My cunning finally got me

The taste of victory.

Even though want it,

The taste is bitter.

I can see in your face

Aloofness that hurts me.

Through pain,

I understand it.

This is not you.

I want you smiling

Loving whoever you want.

So, I must stop you.

Let all my love go.

I place one last true kiss

On your lips.

And beg in a whisper.

"Go be with him."

I still feel the warmth

You left behind.

Even if I cry now,

When I see you beaming again,

I'll know I made

One good choice in my life.

Beloved (Your Lancer Part 3)

* * * "I've been a fool, Alexis! A damned fool!" The wolf spouted and snarled many other obscenities while traversing the streets of Aolia. "Pyrrhos, wait! Let us think about this!" The jackal struggled to follow the seething wolf. Had he known the...

Alan & Elton's Holiday Plans

* * * I feel my eyes open in small doses. Never thought I'd be waking up on my own. Must be an age thing. I grunt as I turn to check the bedside clock. Sunday, 8 AM. I could stay under the sheets for a while more, but the body does what's gotta...

Knife (Your Lancer Interlude 2)

* * * On a sunny day, in the agora, My teacher asked me: "What is a knife?" What a strangely simple question. "A knife is a weapon." I answered with pride. "Is that so?" The old jackal waddled to a bench. With the assist of his...
