Life truly is a double-edged sword,
The grass is greener on what side of the fence?
Who knows,
But that is life …

The incorrect usage of tense
And phrases of total nonsense
Wipe out brain status
With more apparatus
Than the Department of Defense

An ocean of ink awaits

        when the world says ‘Don’t’

Child With a Sword

Immaculate Son
Sent for division, not peace
Giving His sentence,

He is not guilty.
But as blood drips from his blade,
He cries out for life.

    May I never use 
       or abuse
     this sword in my hand

     Help my foes 
       look up and see ~
     It’s You Who owns the land

A Sword Word

To slash and parry your blade
And into the battle you wade
Feint, strike and advance
Though you may death chance
Your foe will still say: Well played!

Sword In Hand

So, where do you think you'll be
when my father reigns down from the heavens
to destroy this earth of her greed
and deliver her to the meek

The Carbon Sword

Behold me as I wield the carbon sword,
cleaving reality as if a fraying cord.
In noble valor I make my timeless stand,
against the demons spawned by my own hand.

Premium Member Pirate's Sword

A pirate sailed into the Spanish bay
his luck just kept getting better that day
	“My sword has rusted
	I need it dusted.”
Aurora, the young barmaid, shouted “Ole!”

Premium Member The Sword of Betrayal

Mightier than the sword
Is the icy stare
Of a woman scorned

Her silence may slay 1000 men
As she locks the door to her wounded heart
Dragons dare not melt the ice

Sheath Your Sword

Hold your peace
Let the violence cease
Sheath your sword
Draw no more blood!

Let it off with a shrug
Give him a hug
If to Peace you belong
She shall make your days long!

The Abysmal King

Slay me now, and take a solemn vow,
Men can't say I might have died this way,
Thrust me through, and make it strong and true.
I'm a wreck, but long live the king Abimelech.

Premium Member A Thrust of His Sword

Phineas' revenge for the Lord
thrusting his miniature sword
in Zimri, Israelite prince...
Modern sensibilities wince
but for Jews, it just wasn't right
to romance the Midianites

The Sword

i'm having a 
major malfunction
with the assumption
that what i write is poetry

believe me but
believe what you will
for you are the writer and
i'm just the pen you have forged

Two-Edged Sword

Time is a predator
seeking to take away
our precious moments
never to be replayed.

Time is a mender
of much that is bad
smoothing over the sharp edges
making the past seem better.

Shield Sword and Surely Wings

the
kingdom of heaven
supply me
with
shield sword
and
surely wings
thus
to
fight
against
the
forces of evil things
both
day and night
and
wherever
it dwells
out of sight
i pray

Premium Member Dark Sword

In the deadly silent night at three
is an insane killer on a spree
both him and his sword crave endless blood
one stab, life ends in a deathly flood
and he won't stop after seventy

Premium Member Justice

A blind lady holds the scales
But lends juries her sacred sword
Hoping reason will find justice
For the guiltless and evil it’s reward.
To those who feel this is zero sum
There is no balance for evil done.

Premium Member The Sparrows Sword

As I lick the blood of battle
Mighty sword glistening in the scorching sun
My arm slowly lays it to the ground
Falling, I stare blankly, up to the sky
		Dead
All battles now won

Premium Member Justice's Sword

My friend, how fair is it,

For us to complain about the State's blunt sword of justice 

When

We fail to sharpen justice's sword in our hearts and souls?

The Sword Sorrowful

The sword  sat on Brigadier’s table,
thinking how she ate flesh of enemies
in the battle-field in bloody front-line

“I wish I could have change of diet
or just fast for  a few months to come”
She murmured to herself.
