THE WARRIOR


from the ABC set Gothic Poems

THE WARRIOR

Oppose me not, don't judge my quest.

Accuse me not of unfitness.

I come from North into the West,

With battles won and no regrets.

My voice of Truth, my heart of steel,

My destiny on spinning wheels,

Crossing the land of darkened crowds

of soldiers lost, crying out loud.

Mystical spell of blood and wrath,

of wounds not healing, from the past.

I made my passage into night,

With pleasure to contend and fight.

And I will die and dwell above,

Among the stars and those I loved.

My battle with the Gods begins

When I deliver all my sins.

For I adore the might of Death,

The warming welcome of its breath,

I bend in ecstasy to kiss

Those lips surrendering in bliss.
