With You

I am plain as a plain
or so it appears to you
flat and equalized
but what you don’t know
what you don’t know is that without you
I am a vast valley
Depressed between two cliffs
Laid barren and broken
When you walk near I rise
I become a plain again’
But though I appear so unaffected 
I get a glimpse of what it is
to be a mountain

The Hunt

Raise your shields 
Protectors of the realm                                      
Fend off the beast                                        
Press on

Cut with your swords
Stab with your spears
Ride upon your horse
Press on

Climb its scales
Peel away its skin        
Destroy the dragon  
Press on

Consumed by flame
Impaled by talons
Chewed by teeth
Press on

For your wives
For your children
For your king
Press on

Its blood for ours
Its flesh for ours
Its death for ours
Press on

Fall
Die 
Rise again
Press on

The Things I Wish

I wish I could take the pain
To hoist it upon my shoulders
To bear your burden 

I wish I could hold you
To give you comfort
To give you a home

I wish I could save you
To wash away the black
To mend the crack inside your heart

I wish I could love you
To give you belonging
To let me be yours

But I cannot. 
O’ your beautiful scars
O’ your broken crown

Such perfection is a rare find
I wish you could be
My one of a kind.
