Warrior Poet

Deadly to his enemies confusing to his friends While faithful to his writing injustice he portends Furious in times of war in peace his vision burns But past the fray inside his words a gentler spirit yearns Salvation long then sacrificed a fate he can’t deny A cross that’s left for him to bear but still his spirit cries Through battles mostly heaven sent and victories sealed with death This guilt the price he’s had to pay now felt with every breath One wish at last he prays out loud one cry is sent above “My spear, my pen, my will to live I trade all back for love” (The 1st Book Of Prayers: February, 2017)
