Unofficial codex entry: Announcement in Skyhold's library

This poem was found written on the second page of the book ''Mortalitasi: For the Living, the Dead.'' .
Although I appreciate the artistic explorations of the residents in Skyhold, I'm afraid such activities
should seize immediately. It's hard getting books up here and the vellum is quite expensive.
Thank you.


La petite mort

Like a Tinker's cart my eyes wander all over you.
And through you.
Through your valleys and your ridges
and your secret caves.

Our eyes meet and time stops.
Like that second the sun touches the horizon.
Like the day our weapons brushed at random.
Such wanton desire.
Such promise of death.

Hands, searching for purpose and purchase.
Eyes, piercing through your defenses.
Your leader's mask, commanding and unyielding,
breaks upon my scrutiny.

Finally, I find just you.
A man shed off pride and glory.
There, is where I want to live.
Or die.

A little.
