HEROES

HEROES

I speak my passion in open words
my soul knows no other way
that is my fashion
my DNA
my gypsy
my Latin fire
seething in nordic cold
the spirit that defines
me

I am of the species human
survivor of my humanity
different and the same
as all those of my kind

I am a warrior
pushing through time
a hero like all others
for having survived
in a war
we are bound to lose

I have never had tha gall to comment
Though behind veiled curtains,
I read your imitable compositions
With a fervent hope
Someday I might, not may,
Perhaps emulate you Sir
Someday

emulation may be the highest form of compliment, but you have your own distinct style.
Never deviate from your progress. I can not impress how much I have been impressed by your distinct improvement in your poetry lately.

Follow your own path and grow as you never have before.

I have been harsh with you before but I am truly curious about what has caused this sudden burst of growth.

cheers,
