Fortitude (114 of 365)

Day 114 of the 365 day poem challenge.

Word of the day hapless meaning "unfortunate and deserving pity."

Fortitude

The person of fortitude 
Weathered the storm
Spoke with the enchantress 
Across the wild whipped sea
Who stole his heart kept it for a trophy and spat it out creating the blood Red Sea
Now hapless he stands cold and alone 

The person of fortitude 
Conquered the torrent
She assailed the highest peaks
The sage greeted her and
Spoke of how his heart 
Had been torn out 

The people of fortitude 
Clamber across chasms of destiny
They feed each other 
They hold each other 
They are warm and bored together
They are dredged in mindlessness
They are smiling 
Perhaps they are happy
Perhaps they are as they now appear.
