Nemesis, Confrontation and the Rejoined Battle, Now Completed

Nemesis, Confrontation And The Rejoined Battle, Now Completed (Nemesis) - Part One O'lord of blight dare thee to now abide Leaving thy abode to earthen realm ride As punisher with dark universal might As grief bearer, humanity to smite! Dar'est thee enter, after I so yield Sheathed my sword, tossed away my shield I that in sorrow abandoned battlefields Seeking love, sweet peace and love's greener fields! Venomous ire, thee again cross my path To wage war and sate thy evil wrath I that settled to in peace, here now live And in the earthen realm yet again give! Thee a true nemesis of fruitful life Author of Hate, Evil and Human strife Spreader of hate, plagues, and even worse Dark sower of thy ever wicked curse! Nemesis- thy hate I shall not allow Nor to its savage commands ever bow Thus I return as warrior to my place And with divine aid thy great evil face! I that now pledge again my solemn vow With truth, courage and light defeat somehow Thy legions of destruction, thy hate Thy rejoining with darkest hand of Fate! In this my great oath, my renewed pledge Leave I safety, step over the edge Not as a man, with horrid, vengeful hate But crusader, before it is too late! Robert J. Lindley, began in April 1981 (Nemesis) ( Nemesis ) -- Part Two O' lord of darkness, my home- you I see As your dark minions so represent thee From dark-cast corners out they freely race Imbued with evil, devoid of grace. Accursed seeds of thy hate-spewing loins Free to tempt mankind with your poison coins Yet with Light and Truth this blackness I see As wickedness from thy hideous tree. Day and night into this old house they prance Whispering morbid curses as they dance I their buffoonery quickly defeat Off they go- flames burning from clawed feet. What an affront that such weaklings you send You in your pride -swift victory pretend For such foolishness I drew not my blade Defeating with pure relish your first raid. With Faith, Hope and Light, this warrior stands Never bowing to your evil demands I can see the future hour you take flight As you are expelled, ending our fight. Watch as this battle begins to unfold With same results as was in the days old Wherein, swift Sword of Light -cut you so deep That whilst flying away- black tears you weep. So set your mark- daring to bring your best For in defeat, I bid you be my guest Tomorrow morn, I again grab my shield To find what depths of blood shall be spilled. ( Nemesis ) -- Part Three Dawn breaks and sincerely its sweet calls sends Unaware of battle the future portends I the warrior polish my shield to shine Knowing on my soul the beast expects to dine. Yet from the dark shadows not a single word As wind brings the melody of a songbird My sword now unsheathed and razor sharp Above sounds the notes of a divine harp. Reminding today I face darkness and death I bow to pray in a whispering breath Have I greater faith in our God of Hosts For soon the dark lord my soul thinks to roast. Nature sends word- blessings be sent unto you May victory be yours, the best get its dues Suns beams down proclaiming a brighter day Golden rays beating away shadowy grays. From the distant hills a rumbling blast sounds Within this heaving chest, eager heart pounds Soon, so soon the great battle shall commence I summon courage to this soul convince. Suddenly sun flees away, dark clouds appear I know the dark Lord now grows very near Yet a new calm then within this heart grows Steadfast courage accepts the soon coming blows. I rise giving thanks the battle is not at night For victory I desperately need bright light Next the shadows all give a rousing cheer From immense darkness, the monster appears! ( Nemesis ) (Conclusion) -- Part Four Suddenly as mammoth beast upward rears In its huge head, were seven ancient spears Evidence of past battles that failed Death may not come being spear impaled. Flash from my blade caught its fierce fiery eyes It shouting out your light this beast defies I that lived even before this earth Shall now measure your sharp steel, your true worth. With that a mighty claw swiped my shield Its sudden lunge shook the hard rocky field My sword caught the other claw in mid stroke Gashing out its red-blood to the ground soak. Next its horned tail swept me off my feet As it roared out, soon you I will eat Come feeble child, let us dance well today Or do you want time to uselessly pray. In anger my next stroke slashed its side My deep hatred I could no longer hide All my power went into the next blow More the hot gushing blood began to flow. Then it came, horrendous burning hot flame This was by far its most powerful game Only divine armor saved my life With its sacred words carved by my knife. Verum licet potentia animae caelum nunc pugnare* Force that only universe can compare Hideous beast roared-such is not fair I cried death- step closer if you dare. With epic pain and a maddening hate The mighty beast rushed to meet its fate As my blade went deep into its black heart Gone were the great powers those words impart. Death's answer as was destined to be By God's divine mercy was it not me The beast had met a much higher power Had succumbed at the appointed hour. Sky then opened, pleasing wind then blew I gazed at beast that divine words slew Kneeling, gave thanks to the Heavens above That we are given Light and Divine Love! Robert J. Lindley, 5-26-2021 Narrative ( When This World Was Blessed With Divine Warriors And Divine Mercy ) ( As Found In Tales Of Old )…. 1st Note: 5/26/2021 *Verum licet potentia animae caelum nunc pugnare. Latin- Translated- "May with Heaven's true might this soul now fight." 2nd note: Was a very hard task for me to find a way (time and energy), And an inspired ending for this narrative tale. The older I get, the harder it seems to write and be satisfied with the results. This will have to do- as perhaps the last time that comes -- " Verum licet potentia animae caelum nunc pugnare "… " Although the power of the sky now fights "
