So this is something I wrote the other night. I know it needs work in
some places, or many places. Thats why I need your feed back. Keep in
mind this isn't something I take very seriously, I just wrote it on a
whim at 2:30am. So tell me seriously what you think, I won't be too
hurt.
The sun rose on armor and
swords shone in morning light.
The battle lines were
drawn, and sides taken for the fight.
Every man in the hoards
knew why he was there.
Some came for the glory,
some came from despair.
The army in black had
their secret weapon,
among all their thousands
stood but one women.
She was firm, stood her
ground, she stepped down for no man.
She stood tall and
beautiful, sword in her hand.
She was clever and quick,
she had a snakes bight.
Her looks were angelic but
her venom was quick,
and behind those clear
eyes her heart was like ice.
She had no just cause, for
her the battle was game.
She fought for her own
glory, she fought for her name.
No man had yet to beat
her, no army brought her down.
She was cheered in the
courts, and adored by the crowned.
This was just another
exercise to further raise her stature.
The fight would be quickly
won, of this she was quite sure.
At once, the signal was
give, the trumpets, they blared.
The soldiers moved
forward, their dormant blood flared.
The woman fought calmly,
she quickened not even her breath.
She moved quickly and
surely, dealing out swift death.
Her movements were fluid,
like the steps of a dance.
She swung, bobbed, and
weaved without breaking the trance.
She batted not an eye, nor
did she flinch.
She practiced no caution,
her heart felt no fear.
She gave swift retribution
while moving like a deer.
This battle raged on, for
hours on end.
Many held their own, but
some failed to defend.
In the teaming of numbers
one could no longer tell
The heroes from cowards in
this bloody hot hell.
Our lady fought calmly,
she gave not a thought,
To the swiftly waining
numbers that fell as she fought.
She viewed all as animals,
cattle for slaughter.
No more threat to her that
a farmer's young daughter.
In her calculating mind it
never occurred,
There could be a ray of
light among this herd.
He was younger than her
and not much to see,
But he fought with his
heart, and he fought for the free.
His heroic passion stirred
him to fight.
Within, his love for
country was an undying light.
Each time his sword
brought death to another,
He mourned within for the
loss of a brother.
The fray brought these two
combaters nearer.
One with beating heart,
one without fear.
What would soon occur
neither could see.
They moved without
knowledge of what soon would be.
At that very moment the
sky parted ways.
The sun showed his face,
and distributed his rays.
Upon the young man in his
heroic stride,
The sun shone most
brightly and remained at his side.
Above our cold woman,
however, clouds remained.
From her all warmth and
light was drained.
The prophecy
of skies would soon be shown.
When the outcome of battle
would come to be known.
Our man and our woman met
on the field.
The fighting was furious,
such blows they did wield.
But the inevitable
happened as sword with body did mesh.
The cold bight of steel
met the soft warmth of flesh.
The blood on the grass
spelled our lady's fate.
Out spilled her life, out
poured her hate.
She lay on the ground, her
body was broken.
A curse from her lips was
her last living token.
So often she fought,
mortality her goal.
Now in battle churned
earth rests her mortal soul.
