Disarmament of a Shield-maiden

A clenching of our hands,  
A clinging of our bands.  
The sweet aroma of your strawberry-coated strands,  
Allow my capability to disarm your fragility.  

Pent-up anticipation will meet expectation,  
You adorn your shield-maiden attire,  
Encouragement to set your onyx rose on fire.  
Peeling, petal by petal, stitch by

Premium MemberShield Them from the Thing

If you're going to engage in war
please leave the children out of it
lead them to the heavenly hills
shade their eyes and ears 
from the carnage to come
shield them from the very thing
that you've chosen to become.

My shield

My shield

My shield was stripped asunder
In bloody strokes as I scream and thunder
For the world would now see
A naked-ness not wanted by me

How could I be so alone and bare
When the world just stands and stares
While I gather together what’s left
To salve my wounds and bind my breast

So what of a saviour in how I

Premium MemberReligion is just a fragile shield

Religion is just a fragile shield,
That man raises before the overwhelming encounter with God,
A refuge built from holy prayers and ancestral fears.
I feel each wall of faith as an ancient fabric,
Dotted with stars that tell their secret stories,
A fan of intertwined hopes and dreams,
Under the infinite sky of the soul, I navigate among desires and

Premium MemberUnder the shield of eternity, where the stars whisper the secrets of the ages

Under the shield of eternity, where the stars whisper the secrets of the ages,
I carry within me two brains, one hidden in the safety of my being,
And another lost in the ether, an invisible companion that hovers always,
Following me, playing with me, and speaking to me in the hours of the night.
The one in my

Is the sky a shield of layer that covers us?

I sat beneath my bench near my bed, drew a picture for Ms. Pale I wanted to give her.
Mommy came in:,, Honey, for what is that for?"
,, Ms. Pale"
My mom said she was my favorite teacher back then.
Rarely I remembared anything of her.
,, She was like a mother figure for you"
I wonder why.
Cause I do

Premium MemberShield

Nights are still long,
sleeping for moments,
awake most of the time.

There is a wall and a sword,
I'm in between.
A nightmare, a dark cloud passing by.
A bad dream coming true, 
nothing that I didn't expect.
Black roses crying tears growing petals everyday.
One petal is in my pocket,
I didn't put it there.

I want to see that day
where that black

Premium MemberMan, you will carry as a shield a truth spoken in the wilderness

Man, you will carry as a shield a truth spoken in the wilderness,
And in your heart like a flame, an entire future will burn:
For the world sees you, open your eyes, be ready for the journey,
Even if love flees from your arms, under another sky, beneath other ashes.
Listen, man, in you flows an unyielding blood,
Your

Shall We Seek Truth, Light, And Heart's Golden Shield

A banquet of wine and cool summer breeze
in a year of bounty and fellowship fine 
Life gives fertile land and splashing blue seas
God's bounty and more treasures to dine.

Does not romance send its handsome treasures
A beautiful lady on which to woo
Heavenly nights and delicious pleasures
Spring sweet morning

Premium MemberMy Shield

You stood as my shield, oh, Lord: 
As the morning shines on through 
Then came by my afternoon 
I was having a bad day
I tried hard to shew it away. 

You stood as my shield when, 
I watched my storm settle to rain
I'm so grateful to you
My storm would've pounded me
Then thrashed me away. 

You

From Stone Field No Crop Yield

Please, fancy not stone field:
It assures none crop yield. 
From death won't one shield,
When guns one's killers wield...

Only a big name yield:
"A Landlord" owners wield 
And causeless questions field 
From the press that lands shield!

Then, choose between crop yield 
And mere names that lands wield:
From those of a stone field 
I shan't fail to self

A Friendship Shield

Your never alone when you
Have good friends to pull you through
The dark days you are feeling
That send you mind and heart reeling
Into a place hard to escape
Let your friends love drape
A shield of care and protection
As your brain is now detecting
A light that is breaking through
The heartache you once knew
