Warrior

a poem to a person strong with struggle

I will love you always, unconditionally.

I will sympathize with your

Struggle

Wipe the beads of sweat from you forehead

And the tears from your eyes

I will be with you

Sitting quietly

When there's nothing to be said

And everything to hear

I will kiss your bruised hands

Tend your aching heart

A warrior with a broken sword

But fighting.

This is damn beautiful! You have captured the elegance and passion which simply makes the poem beautiful and gorgeous! Simple, easy to relate to and effortless beauty!
I like the third para more! The beauty is tender and yet passionate with the last two lines more wonderful!
But, I think you need to make you as your in this like,'I will kiss you bruised hands', it should be your.
A great work!

This poem, like others of yours that I've read, is simple, beautiful, and from the heart. There is also a depth to your poems that stirs the emotions.

The last four lines really got me on this poem, they are very well written. You give a great message out with this piece about being there for loved ones, and I especially like the line "A warrior with a broken sword but fighting". Awesome job! :)
