Ten rises and falls of a full moon have kept me away. Hundreds of the slain lie at my blood soaked feet. My mind, tired of the quest, yearns for your touch. I still see you there, a tear shed as I depart, go to war. You dear one have stayed beside me. I have watched over you for what seems like only days. Three times the earth’s passage have taken us. I wait at the bottom of your soles, my arms extended my knees on the ground as I worship you. I think of you not during battle, for fear of being slain. I fight the brave fight that I might return, yet again. Your smile beckoning spurs me on, my steel slices A thousand fold have died for love, I save my life for you. My body tires of this quest, my soul tattered and torn. My blood flows from many cuts, my heart beats on. I rest a fitful sleep, my dreams fleetingly see your face. Tears fall from shut eyes, salt pools in an ear. If you wait another moon, I will surely see you then. My steed rests to take me there, the stars guide the way. Rest dear maid, smile for me, shed not another tear. For I fight this fight for thee. For you my precious dear. |
