L'Assassino

Originally a sonnet written for my poetry class, I performed it at a poetry event in Glasgow called Reading The Waves alongside Tom Leonard and I have been asked to read it again at another event.

Others they would like to see your demise

I simply enjoy the thrilling times we share

A good man you are, but only in my eyes

I see your pain as you try to be just and fair

Evil men who stole from you your kin

Haven't taken your spirit ever reading to fight 

Disguised in white robes I know that you'll win

In secret we meet in the dead of night

Our love stays hidden because there are more

Like me who wait impatiently for a glance

Or the sound of your voice as you walk through the door

To love an assassin is to have no balance

The creed comes first before any person of thing

You fall from the sky, flying with eagles' wings

Author's Note

This is the edited version of the sonnet so I know the syllable count isn't 'standard'
