A Viking’s Final Mission

A Viking’s Final Mission

A Poem by Bryan Smithson
"

What I must accomplish if I am to be happy before I die, otherwise I will return to Valhalla, in a bittersweet manner…

"
My body failing
My life fleeting
I’m still after
What I’m seeking
Love, that feeling

I want to find someone
Who will love me for me
Before I die, which could be
Today or tomorrow, no joke
Something new for my heart
On this last journey
I’ll choose to now embark

Like a Viking not afraid
My will lasts, I stand
Exploring new lands
Searching for my Freyja
My last lady love
The one I’ll die with
My last one before I enter
Valhalla proud
This is my last mission
My last tout

On the eternal quest
To find my true love
The one that I behest
The one fallen from above
My angel my vixen
My golden sun
The one shining
On bloodstained seas
To find my heart’s release

As the ax falls down
My body starts to drown
I fall off my longboat
Losing my last hope
Don’t make it to the shore
My last wish I’ll ignore
If I cross that bifrost
Without my mate
It’ll be a grim fate
Joining with Vali and Thor
While I’m alone in Asgard
A god with nothing
No crown no children
Dead to the world
King of nothing

If I find her
My lady fair
Then embrace the gods
Mighty Odin and Skadi
There will be mead
For each and every soul
Loki, Hel, and Fenrir
Will continue to tremble
Fleeing my grand victory
As they cower and see
The lady beneath me
For all eyes to see
As I smile in rapture
And live…
Happily ever after
