Dedicated

I am made of war and wisdom,
battles fought, warriors are fell,
and the General,
I stand silent of the fallen.
I am the fighter
mind enough to follow mine
to the world of death.

These wings plated with gold and brown
hold high my head, my fight.
Beside me – Heart
I will lose the battle of mind.

I am the Mind’s hope
No longer held by my binds
Now I’m flying free.

    I have to say that this is one of the better poems I’ve read on blogs. Good job!

        You’re welcome! I know how it feels like to receive compliments on my poetry too.

        “the bloodjet is poetry”!

        /smiles/ I only just got back into Poetry. It was my writing of choice a few years ago. Then I decided I needed to work on something a little more productive.

        I put that muse away for while. And now everyone around me is throwing prose and haiku at my head and I decided to try to put myself back in it. Guess this means I’m finally back!

    Good on you, girl! You can never write too much poetry (or at least I like to think so). And yes, welcome back to poetry. You’re not a bad poet and not at all as cliched as other poems (online) tend to be.
