Fighting Time

My Greatest Gift; My Most Powerful Weapon

Possessing the Slashing Power of a Sabre, and the accuracy of a Rapier

Its Piercing Nature Evermore Restrained by the Sheath of my Heart

Having wielded its full strength once, with the broken fearful heart of a child

Inducing the frantic pursuit of a moment long dreamt of; Now tossed over the horizon

Such loss shown in the crumbled body, and crinkled eyes of a weeping bully!

Wielding his own gift, His own weapon; With the broken fearful heart of a child

Forgive me, my Broken Brother! My familiar in Fear and Regret.

 

Empathy is Her Name, and No Siren offers as Sweet a promise as She

Even with her powerful edges contained, transformed into a tool

She reveals and Sings the songs of Insight and Discernment

What heights and depths She can pierce and probe!

Yet, she was promised to a chorus, her voice to be wielded by the Maestro

She was meant to be sharpened on the Cornerstone of Submission

Guided and Honed by the Hand of an apprentice learning Her ways

Not Thrust with clumsy Power, and Untamed Intentions!

 

I remain a foolish novice in her release; more so, with her containment

She is meant to be seen in all her glory when her moments arrive

Once revealed, she will be tested and assaulted, yet she yields only to truth

In Harmony with her rival’s motives and movements; Showing power and Grace

Her Song is now intimate and confident, Her masters eye on the Maestro!

Defending the excellent; Fleeing Deceit and Ill Will, for the evasion of remorse.

Rightly Discerning True Motives, from those Corrupted by an Egos lust

Love is restoring Honor to the Restraining Heart, once Stolen by Fear
