Steel

Steel

A Poem by John Stussy
"

Inspired by my sword and a certain hero

"

Soothe my tired soul

With thy loyal resilience,

Always ready, ever vigilant.

In the silver glare of thine edge

Mine enemies glide away,

Held at the perfect point

Of thou, my faithful companion.

Thou, who never has nor will

Treated me with Rebellion's scowl,

Remained at my side when I was surrounded,

Outnumbered and forsaken by the odds.

Victory, for you and I, is the standard!

Nigh unvanquishable when we two stand

Against any enemy, death or retreat to them.

And now here we stand this day

Facing a sea of enemies to kill.

The spirit of giants fill us now,

Let us charge together to fight to the last.

The sun glints in anticipation

Of the blood thou shalt bring forth now,

To battle, for honor, for victory!

It has an old fashioned romantic but bloody feel to it, like those knight stories we all adore and love. I'm not sure I'm a fanatic about the style of writing, but it is a throwback to a time we regard as noble. Not necessarily so, but it's the reference I suppose. :) Not bad.
