Shoelace

That first text 
was blessed by 
the all father Odin himself

Two of his sons 
bound Together 
by a green shoelace 
in the park of my heart

Thor's lightning bolts
sparked Between the 
Sheets of my bed

I was in utter bliss 
feasting in Valhalla 
with the Valkyries dancing around us

But my 15 minutes of fame was up 
he only leaving behind 
his green shoelace

Like mistletoe defeated Boulder
I was strung up by 
your green shoelace 

But a few weeks has passed 
I found yourself in my bed again 
and Thor's Sparks flew once more

So I fell in love 
but I fell so hard 
I found myself in Hel's hall

Ragnarok was upon me
Fenrir was fighting Odin
Jormugndr was eating Thor

I had to stop it
I had to be reborn out of Yggdrasil 
And so I was murdered 
by your 
green shoelace

A ballade this is not, that has a strict set of rules, call it Free Verse, that fits better. I enjoyed your poem, has a lot of good Norse mythology in it. Welcome to PoetrySoup :)
