War-torned (An Original Poem)
We have been enthralled
by the beauty
of blood and gore
allured to the distant
clanging of swords
the redness of the evening,
squirms a passion,
through victory or defeat,
the spears are never bereft
of sleeping blood,
on rusting metals.
The thoughts of valor
skims through the mind
painting colorful portraits
of a gruesome battlefield
the whistling sounds
of traveling arrows
echoing beyond the mountains.
The ripening of morn,
at the first light.
The caustic energy
that fuels a rage,
We have been enticed,
by the glistening armors
of helmeted soldiers
as it blinks with ardor,
their fearless gait
as their boots squashes
tender leaves
as they march continually
it speaks of courage never seen.
Our lives
are now entwined,
to unheard adventures
of love.
the far-flung yearnings
of the flesh.
and the perils
that comes with being broken,
a war we have begun
with a narrow road
to endless pain.
Our hearts,
are now charmed,
fascinated by the
beauty of endless storms,
the loveliness of lightening,
as it glints with danger.
It reminds the soul,
of a ride into the clouds
leaving behind,
gold-plated epitaphs
to tell our tragic stories.
The pain of being broken,
bested from behind,
by the spears of deceit.
as the skies bleed
stabbing rains.
In our dying moments
we are proud victors
that never conquered love,
armed with nothing but courage

Hmm! Very cool poem. Indeed, no one wins or loses in a struggle, but the struggle must be rekindled in the chest.💪 I think so. :)
Have a great day/night brother.

A superb penning. You illustrate well the futility but odd attraction some have for battle and violence.
I adored the enjambment.
Thank you, it's been a while I wrote one of these piece. I love using those enjambments, it makes for a free flow of the ideas. Maybe i'll write some more.
Ending this poem with this:
Really provoked a lot of thought from me, we go the way of violence and hate a lot but fall back to love a lot too, in all our pride and violent conquest we haven't conquered or become immune to love. But this doesn't glorify love as much as it might seem at first, on further thought we'd see that love and hate quite share the same status, we haven't conquered neither or become immune to neither and we fall back to one as much as we fall back to the other.
