Thunderstorm.
Tunneling deep into the eyes of one another
A channeling of a mutual respect and despotic hatred
High above nearly visible a clash between the two
Exploding in a power of light as the two blades clash
Blood dripping and falling to the ground far below
An exchange of life giving from ones dissolution
Great deafening claps as the struggle escalates in brutality
Allowing sight only for a moment as the blades counter
Over and over looking for the weakness in fleshed instinct
The shroud growing darker and boiling over in intensity
Meek cowering below searching for cover in the satirical shower
The earth tearing and swallowing in on itself
Colliding titans high above dancing the rhythmic rituals
Displaying their prowess akin to a lioness stalking
Through the pain they persevere…determined…undaunted
The sinewy arms cumbrous with fear and loathing
Swinging with an almost disporting will to butcher
Slowing to a laggards pace…breathe a heavy coarse wind
This melodic storm ravaging horizon to mountain
Steady, clockwork, weighted, understanding
As the two stop, allowing a brightening to spread
Regarding with that respect and tyrannical equality
They release one another to heal and recover
Rallying oneself for another engagement at Asgard.
