Embattled Warrior


Strong and silent
  He came from the ancients
    His courage empowered
      the men at his feet

The bridle
  A fortress of kindness
  A clarion armor
    made dominion complete

He was justified
  With passionate conviction
    The mighty were taken
      by his sword to the grave

He grieved
  Each fallen opponent
    and prayed for the families
      for loss of their brave.

I saw anguish
  He loved me by candle
    Gaining strength to endure
      all that he might

A lover’s bastion
  Exalted his nature
    Returned to the combat
      in the mourning of light
