memories of betrayal

By Sapphire

Closed as I was
I felt safe from the world
Built a wall, I called it the Hadrian’s wall
the best cataphract intact
Flashes of Perfidy-the bane of my existence, I called it a trojan
And history this will remain, a partner I dance with in the dazzling moonlight.

    The horse full of Greeks and the futile Roman attempt to stop the barbarian hordes. Rich in history and an, introspective, metaphorical twist of self. Lots to like here Sapph - cheers! - Dan
