Written for Sue Vincent’s photo write prompt “Blade”. Thanks for hosting Sue!! Thanks for the idea Hèléne
———
I offer up this blade, back to the god from which it came
Embark the age of which mankind’s damnation grows
From men who molten stone to steel—strike down their thoughtless brash
Enough! of the blood of mine own conjuration!
Those very holes exhumed—quarry perfect crypts or foundry tomb.
Take this medal of death—Go now and do thy deed!
Beautifully born-
Of passions unrestrained love-
Help me hold not hate-
My eyes will I see-
Your hope and zeal unfeigned-
Or blanket disdain-
Choose wisely your words
For though quiet I observe-
Each utter you make-
Eyes brown sea green eyes-
Chance meeting briefly staring-
Doubling glances-
Never shall forget-
The beginning of my life-
When my eyes met yours-
Enduring the past-
Mistakes and trials of youth-
Mettles softer souls-
Two toms tinkering-
On the outskirts looking in-
Fanning their wares-
Opportunistic-
Timing poses chances meet-
Poses contemplate-

Blackened hoards and crows
Caged panic attacks chilling
Cold ranks fear-knocking
Uncontrolled shivers
Hiding maddened whispers pray
For no ear to hear
Familiarity breeds-
Contempt and seeds of guile-
Slow cooked and seething-

Ode to another-
Faithfully following one-
Fruitless endeavor-

Adrenalin pounding-
Grouse erupting under foot-
And glide down yonder-
