Defeat

(October 20, 2012)

Amber eyes of tenacity burn with a stubborn fire

He reaches for the treacherous sphere,

But recoils in pain.

No giving up, no turning back.

Strength comes from facing obstacles.

The knife steady in hand,

He chops down the foe;

The one who brought tears.

Minutes later, its remains are added to the stew.

Success.
