The Urge To Conquer
The urge to conquer is not confined to Kings; like an old tomb,
half concealed in moonlight and the other half in gloom, the yearning for fresh ground, for unseen shapes, and virgin meadows, reveals itself, sometimes in furtive thrusts, at other times in brazen affront, and often as a complete surprise.
And then memories flood, as old wounds split, an exquisite pain engulfs.
Curled up and benumbed one waits for the next day to come.
