Until Death Brings us Together

The clouds came dense and dark
waves crashed heavily on the shore
the day's run was cancelled for the second day
and they were locked in the stables once more

everyday they yearned to go out in the sun
and once in a while cross each there's way
in between their numerous savages, they cud have
together spent the day.

The torrential rains poured day and night
keeping these two hearts out of each there's sight
little were they to know that their wait wed go to waste
now that one of them were to be sold off in haste

they didn't even get to bid farewell
they lay separated realizing this is what was hell
food, sleep was all o no avail
without each other, their lives grew pale

soon upon them came a great curse
the war had begun and there was only blood everywhere in sight
then the came the news to make things worse
that all horses, trained or not, would have to come to fight

the two mates, each miles apart
were broken, completely distraught
they knew they were on opposing sides
fight again the other they just could not

with each passing day, the battle drew near
the two were trembling, filled wit fear
eager through they were to meet after ages
they knew their fates rest in the hands of the other savages

finally they went to war
their masters spotting each other from far
they charged at each other with all their force
but the horses, they couldn't bear it, brimming with remorse

valiantly they tried to serve their kings
but fr duty to each other, their hearts did, many times, swing
their ends were drawing near
shot at, they fell down, in each others eyes, a solitary tear.

What fate it was!
 live together they couldn't, hence united in death
their throbbing hearts, were now together after being apart, a mile
their eyes shut, life departed, but upon their lips lay their last smile...
