Best Ares Poems

Thundering down Olympus
Treads Ares 
The battle master
Ashen 
Piceous clad
Against midnights cloak
Returning human spirit
To the heavens
For upon drowning
Within his crimson gaze
Do we understand
That in faith
Lies divinity



Note: In Greek mythology Ares is the God of War....

Lift your chin,

 Focus your gaze
because there,
in the corners of the dark
Is the Beginnings
of Catastrophe.

Be mindful
where you
 place       
	your 
feet,       
as you Dance through 
the Destruction.

Disregard
the bubbling
Fear of Inquiry.
You already have
 the answers

He
Makes my chest
Light up
Like
 A lantern

He lives
through
my laughter
coursing through my veins
the return of my cheek's blushing colour

He has
unbelievable
healing powers
He is the combined essence of rain water and the mist rising off Niagara,
he is a like a thousand hugs from a mother, or a lifetime of...

Our valor you reward with scars and dread.
The honors you bestow leave good men maimed.
Though back from battle, lauded with loud cheer,
the din of combat rings on in the head
of each who’s seen things better left unnamed
that slaughtered friends and comrades they held dear.

If hell is the place
to deprive men of their human nature 
the battlefield swarming with dehumanized souls 
is hell; and is in the real world, 

hell is the hungry stray dogs licking blood on corpses
and vultures ingurgitating rotten flesh from the corpses scattered 
around on...

Out of the beginnings of a winter storm that would last for days
A man clad in armor fashioned by Druids walked up in a gray haze
He’s Walker the Warrior, a hush whispered into the crowd.
He made barely a noise; his shield and sword silent, not...

I watched the endless procession of stalwart youth, resplendent in their panoply gathered, a 
steelly passion filling resolute gait.
And I asked of them, "To what place does such noble assemblage march?"
"To the Temple of Ares, and Glory's Gate, to burn of names in Honor's book...

A Bit of Ares

 

We begin to number

the defining moments             

as we start the slide

into a seeming oblivion

Clawing away our innocence

Sharpening our senses

baring our internal fang

uncannily unleashing the beast

We crouch keenly

surging with passion

roaring...

SEE HOW YOU IS
KNOW HOW YOU AM
GONNA MAKE IT DIFFICULT
SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
YOU GONNA MEDDLE WIFF ME
SO I CAN ERROR
FORGOT HOW YOU ARE
FORGOT YOU DON'T CARE
TALKING AINT
GONNA GET THRU TO YOU
YOU WON'T MIND
WHAT CAN I DO
TENSIONS BUILDING
GUESS THAT'S MY FAULT
IF YOU DONE WHAT THEY TOLD...

Oh god Ares, you magnificent brute
You scour the field of battle in your blazing chariot
Followed by the cries of anguish and despair
Of your feeble enemies being crushed and sliced
In your wake only blood and bones remain
As you cross the field of battle
As a living lightning...

Born of Ares, 

In every life violent. 

 

Born of Ares, 

In every life brave. 

 

Bound to children of Love, 

Aphrodite’s daughters and sons. 

 

In every life devoted, 

to affection and protection. 

 

In every life his, 

those children of War.
