So many took that path in search of happiness, alas, return to where their beds are made, no scent, no reminds of passion. And while you're gone I'll paint a kiss down below the middle of your waiting sheets, leave an outline of my hands at the edge, right by where you lay your hips. I will welcome you inside with a first time yearning, guide you towards a place of comfort, towards my lips in waiting. We will tangle in embrace till the dawn returns, when we learn our lines and curves, we shall crave for more. Beguiled, I find myself, when you hold me on your arm Each time you close your eyes, I feel weakness in my loins.

The Liberators and Oppressors battled. Both spewed forth their righteous, high minded theories. The Oppressors promised safety and security. The Villagers need not fear the wrath of the dark forces beyond the mountains, the Oppressors would never let them come to harm. Tribute was expected of course, and punishment was harsh.
