Eight-line Poems

Wayfare

Wayfare

Uncertain, we set out on life’s journey,
guarded, as though we enter some tourney,
announced our names on the list,
adieu on our lips as we kissed,
then boldly we set foot to path,
armoured ‘gainst deception and wrath,
creating a magnificent past,
till we come to Bitter End at last.
