Armed for Battle

Contributed by Jaycee on Wednesday, 27th April 2005 @ 07:22:11 AM in AEST
Topic: SadPoetry



Placing the belt 'round my waist
and longsword in its sheath
Donning my cuirass
I'm armed to the teeth

This battle's not physical
but rather symbolic
but the enemy is real
stronger than narcotic

The beast's bigger than I thought
am I unsure?
No I yell back
my intention is pure

Swinging my longsword
reverberates off scale
this dragon is tough
what if I fail?

Cannot let this happen
must bring it down
I call out for help to
save the maid of this town

Many rallied to my cry
brandishing pitchforks a'plenty
O'er ten on each side
We numbered over twenty

We marched up the hill
to surround our foe
I unsheathed my weapon
he'd nowhere to go

The maiden ran forward
which I did not expect
she told me go home
which we had to respect

Her beautiful gown was in tatters
her hair stained with blood
Tears leaked through our eyes
they threatened to flood

She wasn't imposing
this brave little lass
she looked so fragile
like delicate crystal or glass

But appearances deceive
this girl had much power
she'd beat this demon
topple th' wizard in his tower

She submitted to cruelty
it was a terrible fate
but someday she'd emerge
for that day I must wait

beautiful poem, I love the whole metaphor of life thing. If this really happened (metaforically) than I'm sorry... I really felt this one. Great job!
