The Man with No Name

Should I name him? 

I could not know his name, 

It did kindly know for me, 

Veracity, agony and whim. 

Yet not an objective truth to know of. 

In the cold reality of the thereof 

Only, the lost words of the sons 

And the echoing woes of transgressions 

For he had the privilege of surviving 

For he could roam the eastern plains 

For he could drink from the sea of salt 

For he was carried by lyricism 

For he had undeterred pride 

Dutifully doing his penance 

Paying his condolence 

To the dying world 

Dirt, dusk and mold 

There he lived, the nameless man 

In last days, before the plains of heavens 

He gazed at the thrones of stone 

Breathe of Ozymandias 

At the rivers of flesh and blood 

Sensuality of Thanatos 

And, he heeded to the silence 

Gaea had a finger to her lips 

On the godly hand, earth came 

Shaped, be it for love or pain 

If fair, to the heavens all praise 

If foul, to the hells alone the blame 

And what man deemed himself not divine 

And what man did not dream of wine 

Gods gave a secret he could not spell 

The world had no more, he kept it hidden well 

Nameless, he climbed the groove of Sisyphus 

Sloshing in the ponds of the sweat of his limbs 

Faceless, he toppled with the boulder 

From the crest of the mountain to Lethe
