The Warriors Way

The warriors sword is sealed as the weeping souls who were taken by his blade echo out across time and the walk of the warrior is filled with empty strides a quicken pace places distance between his heart and his mind as each ambition is fulfilled upon angers vice, his soul becomes emptier than ever and his heart remains cold as ice he finds no pleasure in watching flowers grow but rather in cutting them down, for they are flowers and he is sand he remains a prisoner of the blood soaked ground

The romance of war is cut down in this deep verse. You tell it like it is with such vivid imagery.

such a strong write, these warriors seem to find out way to late to save their souls that death was never meant to be their decision...Light & Love

A very nice simile in the last line of the poem. In the poem, you nicely pair the outer accoutrements of the warrior with the inner, psychological traits. Enjoyed your poignant verse!
