Poem: Unbalanced
Muscles clench Tissues scream Tendons protest fiercely Darkness courses through my viens Health unbalanced Mind and body Body and mind Filled with deadly peril I know what I must do To forge the sword To light the fire The balance to be righted I know the way The path is lighted Self revealed as adversaryContinue reading “Poem: Unbalanced”

I marked you When you were young My servant to become I guided you When you had no faith To the light you yearned for Then came a time When a sword stood in stone Your destiny inert Your choice to make And you swore yourself to me Declared your allegiance to the light IContinue reading “Poem: Chosen”
