A Man
He stands near the shore,
with a sword in one hand
a black rose in the other.
Courage in his grip,
Silence in his style.
He built a sand castle near the shore
Which was his and nothing more.
He was gazing at the horizon and
Measuring the depth;
and controlling all the emotions which he had kept.
He called his own people
whom he called his own.
In his thoughts with a moan.
No battles were being fought
No killing was done,
Still he lost everyone one by one.
He still loves his family and he can die for them.
It is his love which makes him a man.
He left his home and his land
and left everything which was grand.
He is a guardian and a man
Who is protecting this entire island.
He has a courageous heart
and a rebellious mind;
Which makes him different from every kind.
A tide came with its force,
took the castle and some emotions away.
The faded rose fallen to the ground and found
its way in the tide.
Now he is standing there with all his hope.
Holding his dreams and passion in his eyes,
With his sword ready to fight.
