The Warrior PoetA Poem by Joby BottomsI met The Warrior Poet, Cameron Conaway http://cameronconaway.com/ and although he doesn't know it yet, he inspired me to write poetry again.
The cold steel springs of the fighting ring, took a dip in the warm blue ink.
The pen was never mightier than the sword. They lived in the same apartment. In the same CAGE.
You travelled from America to Thailand, to learn to fight a different way.
With your rock: Maggie.
The Warrior Poet and The Hunting Teacher. Real-Life Super-Heros.
Sri Lanka called. You answered. "Ayubowan", we said.
Driving, talking, eating, drinking, laughing. A journey, into each others lives.
The Cinnamon Grand; we dined, laughed again and you did something very special. You gifted. Thank you.
Then you left
a big impression on me. To meditate again, through words.
I too, am a Warrior Poet. © 2013 Joby BottomsAuthor's Note
