POEM TITLE

The Tale of Seven Seals

POEM

The Seven seals

Ochreous and unforgiving

Are indeed as real

As you and me.


In the hidden crevices

Of a derelict underground lair

With air the taste of Blackness on sea

Lies a treasure beyond compare


It sparkles not,

Dull and rather ignoble

Its allure, they say, lies within,

The diamond in the rough.


Seven seals, for seven virtues,

Keep the lair under lock and key

Once shut, forever opened

Once lost, forever found.


Two kindred souls of Purity,

In heart, mind and soul,

and Unity, for the strength

To conquer all.


Wisdom, a sound counsel

For rainy days, and Justice,

To uphold right and censure wrong,

Are a twofold cord

Bound together for eternity.


Love, the vanquisher of all evils,

Faith to be assured of the unseen,

And Hope unbroken and unwound,

Are renowned cerberean brothers,

Protectors of a dying heritage.


Go, curious souls,

To The Lobster Pot,

Savour the distinct flavour

Of Blackness on sea.


Hearken to the tale

Of the seven seals,

and discover

the power of lore

In the hearts of men.
