A Warrior's Heart & other poems

Broken, but unbeaten
Pride is the only thing
That keeps me going
Great losses have I endured
Each one worse than the last
But, I move on, inexorably
Towards my ultimate goal
Though I have suffered much,
My warrior’s heart endures.

Shadows always moving,
Wicked plots all unfolding,
I stand alone, opposing the dark.
There were once those like me,
But all lost heart.
It takes a lot of effort,
To bear a warrior’s heart.

Never here nor there,
I travel everywhere.
But nowhere do I make my home,
For I shall always be alone.
All hope may be lost for some,
But where I go, I bring it with me.
This is where hope always lies,
In this, the warrior’s heart.

Darkness

Anger is power,
Though it consumes,
All the wielder values,
It destroys without regard,
For Love, Hope, or Peace,
A cleansing fire,
A raging inferno.

Hate gives strength,
But it weakens the soul,
Crushing the Light,
Under the heel of Darkness.

Fear brings power,
Greater than that of Anger,
Destroying all who dare,
Face it alone.

Love is weakness,
Yet hides a secret,
That crushes Anger, Hate and Fear,
Trust fuels Hope,
Hope fuels Love,
Against this triad,
The Dark cannot stand.

To face the Dark,
The warrior must know,
Trust, Hope and Love.
Courage and Strength
Follow the one,
Who acts without thought,
Who surrenders his life,
For the cause of the weak.

The Darkness is doomed,
Though not by defeat.
Brought low from within,
It ultimately fails.

And finally:

The Poet

Alone, He writes.
Pen touches paper,
Words flow,
From the heart.

Pain is an instrument,
And so is love.
Anger and Happiness are
Music to his ears.

All of these are part,
Of the Poet’s tune.

In suffering are,
The most beautiful,
Words crafted.

The Poet chooses the quiet,
The still, the peaceful.

Facing adversity and pain,
He takes them, and writes in love.
Inspiration to others,
Though they know him not.

This is the path few choose,
And fewer still can master.
Forever will he travel,
Guiding those who,
Come following ever after.
