He


He walks with ignominy

Lost and confused

He talks delphic with visions of his impiety

Gentle in the way he hid his lust

He had been drowned in a sea of mockery

Castrated by his own, reluctant to adhere

He sought acceptance

His sorrow carried him swiftly

He and his mind of bronze melted into thin silt

Succombing to the demons of contemporary 

He bid adieu

Transcending into a world unkown 

He walked with liberation and piety

Enlightened by the stars
