Put On Your Warrior Spirit

Don't let him sway you with his sultry rhymes Don't let him woo and steal your heart away Don't let him touch your soul with soulful lines You know, my dear, he only wants to play Don't let him tell you that you are divine Don't let him make you think that you're unique Don't let him say your eyes are pools sublime You know, my dear, he wants to make you weak He wants to break defenses and come in To taste the hidden pleasures of your heart He wants to take, to conquer, and to win and then to leave when you've been torn apart There is no greater pain than wounded pride When truth reveals betrayal's sharpened knife Revenge will be the thorn there in your side For he has taken love, and dreams and life So do not let him win in lover's game Pick up your sword and gird yourself to fight If you succumb, you will not be the same I urge you then to vanquish with your might Then still your heart and let it dormant lie Let not your eyes take in the beauty there He will not stop; he will most surely try To ravish you and leave you naked, bare So fight with all your might this war to win Don't let your guard now slip; be strong and brave take heed to what I say; don't fall in sin, for none but you, your heart and soul can save Eileen Manassian This poem has 1470 viewsm and I posted it some time ago. In preparing for my program, Rhymes of the Times, I'm often at a loss to know which of my poems to choose. This happened to be POTD, so I thought to include it in this video. I hope that you enjoy the program. The link for the original poem is below. :) http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/put_on_your_warrior_spirit_681331
