The Horn
There was a man of sound mind and great heart, hearty and hale yet kind above all.
There was a woman of quiet dreams and guarded heart, brash and outspoken but tender and true.
He would laugh and she could smile. He blew his horn, and toppled her walls. He became one of the few, he became a friend.
Time passed, as is custom others lost, and friendship strong. Twas a time to be bourne no more and the terms for her heart laid bare.
The man was sweet and kind as she had known him to be the horn fell silent as he shook his head they would have no parley.
She turned and left, no cries to be heard The man was kind above all, and their friendship strong.
They met again when the new moon began her walls rebuilt, their sentries strong. His words were cool, the warmth of his laugh denied.
The guards stood fast as she ordered more stone and retreated Her pain froze to a pale cheek. A love lost an easy price when compared to the silence of the horn.
The horn was left at the gate, lost but not forgotten. SIlence was the new order obstinance her newest defense.
The man would only shake his head, never to venture forth with a harsh word.
There was a woman of quiet dreams and guarded heart, brash and outspoken but tender and true.
There was a man of sound mind and great heart, hearty and hale, yet kind above all.

"of quiet dreams and guarded heart"
That was my favourite line. A very beautiful poem, thank you!
