Sword Fight~

Another work for school.

Blinding sparks,

Glancing blows,

Fancy footwork,

Skill exposed.

Agile artwork,

Steel on steel,

Sword in hand,

Death they wield.

Fight for breath,

Pounding heart.

Dance of death,

They duck and dart.

Fleet of foot,

Eyes alert.

Poised to strike,

And parries avert.

Weathered assassin

Trained to kill

Tests on the prince

His malevolent will.

Armored young lad,

Son of the king,

Fights for his life,

Counters each swing.

Good against evil,

Light versus dark,

Bird before dragon,

Slice sweeping arc.

Promise Me~

A seriously cheesy love poem I once thought I could use if I wrote a kind of medieval novel with knights and damsels in distress. Written, I believe, back in March... I'll dedicate it to the amazing characters Arthur and Gwen from BBC's Merlin.

Please promise me,

Swear you will return.

Ever I shall watch for you

Lest of your death I learn.

Vow you will be faithful,

Our thoughts shall never part.

Please pledge to me your loyalty,

Else you break my heart.

Years shall pass,

And seasons flee,

Yet ever I

Shall cling to thee...

In fervent hopes

You shan't forget

The love, the laughter,

The hours spent.

Your heart and soul

Returning to me;

Of these solemn things

Please promise me.
