sepia

History pages blend in a tome
Secretive lives in sepia tone
Faces unsmiling, so young and so old
Stories untold
 
Eyes unforgiving, careful pose
Enemies living to sharpen their blows
Locked in a ruthless fight for a throne
Dying alone
 
Dated and signed
Unreconciled
Foes can’t be friends
Make no amends
Grass overgrown
Silent gravestone
In sepia tone
 
History pages gathering dust
Glamour and glory fading to dusk
Odes to oblivion no one recites
Taking no sides

Ashes and bones
Nothing to own
Clearing the slate
Never too late
Closing the door
No point in a war
In sepia tone
