SACRED SWORD

SACRED SWORD

A Poem by Patrick Donovan

Sacred sword against my chest,

tongue of steel,

sharp and cutting,

speak to me tonight of wounded hearts

in the struggle for love’s favor.

 

Who wins?

Who looses?

Who leaves?

Who stays?

 

And who dies alone

forsaken on this holy ground of broken promises?

 

Tell me now

so I can sleep just this night

or sleep this night

forever.
