The Sparrows Sword

As I lick the blood of battle
Mighty sword glistening in the scorching sun
My arm slowly lays it to the ground
Falling, I stare blankly, up to the sky
		Dead
All battles now won




			Love lost long ago

The sadness at the end was very striking, and terribly depressing! I really loved the power behind your words, such expressed with passion, especially how this poem ended...the incredibly wondrous love of the lost! What a grand poem, Great Work my friend!!
