Victoria Anderson-Throop Poet Sapphic stanza

The Glory Hunt

THE GLORY HUNT


                                  Heard the birdsong of delicate blush dawning

                                  Dreamed the soft breath yearning kisses of my darling

                                  Wakened to the flashing agony of wicked truth;

                                  Veiled my trembling heart in black.



                                 Rode old warlords down the path with swords a-blazing

                                 Turned the valiant head of my love with his thirst for glory

                                 Tried a secret warning in my desperate tell tale kiss;

                                 Dead he was before he left my arms.
