Yearnings of a Renegade

The echo of a dreadful night cannot contain a valorous heart The searing blood in a warrior's veins does not succumb to a vanquished heart The clashing of swords, gory and raw do not sway the mighty "outlaw" She charges deep into the dawning war with strands of darkness glistening under the waning star Thoughts of her faith she finds futile For who can make the brave abide Her heart that streaks with mutiny and rebellion seeks only for a fellow Sneer A renegade at birth, she wanders on Finding peace she suspects will slip through her claws The brown of her parched skin glistens as the dark embraces her flaws She flourishes under the night's indifferent maze and comes alive under the moon's sliver gaze She longs for an invitation to a land far-off with water that soothes her war ridden heart A traitor, rebel and a renegade to her own she wishes to be a lover in a warrior's home town To at last find the peace that her heart longs And satisfy the cravings of a heart that's been reeking of betrayal all along She whispers her yearnings to the Full Moon and hopes her prayer will come through soon.
