Destiny's Blade

It speaks for itself I think.

                  

    

I have thrown myself on destiny's blade,

And dragged you from the battlefield your ransom paid,

I would face the pack and grant no quarter,

Sacrifice myself like a lamb to the slaughter.

 

But as soon as you were free,

Into her arms you would flee,

And bid me understand, your eyes so kind,

Unaware of all the ways you should be mine.

 

And I love you more than my heart can contain,

For you to be happy I shall endure this pain,

And when you need another valiant rescue,

I will be the first one there fighting for you.

 

If the only place I can look at you is from the shadows,

Lest I come into the light and my feelings show,

Then I choose this path though fool I be,

Against these chains that bind me to you I shall never struggle to be free.

Wow, I'm in love with this subject matter. It's been a while since I've written on this theme, so this is like an overdue experience to read through this today. The title drew me in and it's a perfect fit. Some wonderful lines in here, and the image of being in the shadows. A nice little emotional experience as a poem should be.

Thank you so much Tom for this wonderful review ,You have made me smile with your kind words :)

[Deuces]

I feel pain, insecurity, jealous, love, need and submission balled into this conglomerate of feelings. You express a feeling of ownership for your desired love in this piece... a will that cannot be reckoned with, as you profess your love eternally. Powerful and beautifully written. Your words always hit hard.

Ohh I loved this. This is what true love is all about. It hurts much to see our loved one with someone else but we still stand there to see if he/she is not left alone in any situation.
Your writing touched my heart ..

I see such a love in this poem you pen. You love even though there might not ever be hope in love returned. You fight and rescue over and over again just for the happiness of another. Truly you have the biggest heart! I adored this poem and think I need to self it to remind myself that people so loving do exist still in this world. Very beautiful, and well done.
