THE BYGONE EXEMPLAR


PART II

Neptune swells up like ebony
On the dawn of the night,
Spreading far and wide the agony
To the defenders delight.

Yet undaunted the foe proceeds
Enduring all with their might;
The castle’s defenses it decreeds,
Much to the keepers’ fright.

Crossbows face the loop-holes,
Firing quarrels relentlessly,
The assaulters knowing their roles
Push forward boisterously.

Driven by the forces of nature,
They mutilate the outer portal.
Desperation-compelled, driven to a stronger stature
They proceed with knowledge that they’re mortal.

Now trapped in the narrow barbicans
They embark on a hiking ‘spree’,
Archers slaughter the poor Anatolians
Whilst, they helplessly attempt to flee.

Portcullises and the battlement
Assume a devilish demeanor,
Dissolving the Ottoman ornament
Which all alike abhor.

The machicolations now exterminate
Rowdy Turkish Lords;
Their destinies momentarily fluctuate,
When the defenders protrude the hourds.

In melancholy and remorse
They are forced to withdraw,
With a deficit of no resource
They’ll once again at the castle-walls claw.


Sorry ..... but the PART - III shall have to wait for a while.
