Lost....

In time you may understand. Have
You ever wondered about the
Loneliness of immortality? Of the
Thoughts of a man cursed to wander
Through the centuries? A man who can
Never know peace, whose shadow
Leaves ruin wherever it passes. A man
Who has learned that every triumph
Is fleeting; every joy is transient.
All that he seeks to possess is stolen
Away from him by the years. His empires
Will fall, his songs will be forgotten
And his loves will turn to dust.
Only the emptiness of eternity shall
Remain within him - a laughing skeleton
Cloaked in memories to haunt his days
And nights!
