Armed for Battle

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! |
