Oh, My Beloved!

Oh, my Beloved!  I once thought that I had you

I assumed we'd be together and I was sure I knew

I sought to see the day that you would say "I Love You"

Oh, my Beloved!  I was foolish since I had no clue.

Oh, my Enchantress!  You had put a curse on me

Days would go by and I would always be happy

Nights would pass and the thought of you would never flee

Oh, my Enchantress!  You had cast a spell to fill me with glee

Oh, my Heart-Breaker!  You tore my fragile Heart to portions

I gave you my precious emotions but you blew them into infinite proportions

I handed you all my Love, but you turned it into a distortion

Oh, my Heart-Breaker! You made me resort to caution

Now you made me realize what Love is.

But I'm glad I did not receive that Death Kiss.

What has happened, let it be.

Because God has released me, to be free.

Love in the Desert

As I lay on the desert sand dune

I stare at the Beauty of the Moon

Her Heavenly and Magnificent shape deters me

She leaves me with a sense of Everlasting glee

But as I peer closer to Her eyes

I notice that they were simply a disguise

For I see the shape of Yourself much clearer

Brushing Your lovely hair in the mirror

My grin becomes wider, for Your beauty is One

Looking at you, the Moon's beauty is None

I wish for You to lay beside Me

So we will be together, far and free

My Dear, I wish for us to walk the desert sands

Together, intertwining our hands

Just like the Vine growing with Her fence

Their love, growing intense

My Dear, the Moon and the Vine may be Beautiful

But You, My Love, are much more Desirable

Forever Love

As I look into your twinkling eyes

My entire spirit rises

I always wonder if I am meant for you

I pray to God for a cue

As you tousle your flowing hair

My body's aura feels light like fresh air

I feel as if I'm receiving a hint

That you are my wood and I am your flint

As I approach to caress your glowing face

I sense as though your skin is made of exquisite lace

I begin to receive a chill throughout my sensitized skin

A sensation that tells me, my life will never dim

And for the final touch, our lips enjoin one another

Embracing each other...together...forever...

The Mercenary

I walked across far and wide throughout the Lands of Purity
Looking for this entity called the Love of Loyalty
I never understood how men would die for their country
Such loyalty to an entity even to the point of disability

As I crossed the desert sand dunes
Where nothing was in sight except the wind whistling ghastly tunes
I covered my face save my weary eyes
As I trudged through the treacherous borders of my deadly demise

"Halt!  Who goes there?"
I look up to see a large, long-haired bear
"Who are you to halt me?" replied I as I brandished my sharpened scimitar
"You speak to the Guardian of the Realm of the Lands of Purity.  The Realm ends here and in order to pass to the next, you must be tested in the Ways of War

You will be challenged to a duel you have never experienced, faced with a foe you have never seen"
"I am a mercenary.  I have killed the likes of all, from far and wide.  I fear no foe nor fiend"
The Guardian grins deceivingly, "Oh, but this is one you have yet to face, my mercenary mortal"
Suddenly the entire dimension of the desert changes and without my freewill I enter a portal

"Tell me mortal, why do you SEEK for what you wish not to SEEK?
You have lived defying the acts of loyalty, protecting yourself and mocking the meek.
You have lived a life of murder, betrayal and dishonesty.
Creating havoc upon the Earth to fulfill your selfish life prophesy

Tell me mortal, why do you SEEK for what you wish not to SEEK?
You have lived defying trust and friendship, are you not at betrayal's peak?
You have lived a life defiling women to your pleasure to the point their silenced screams is all you hear
Tell me mortal, are you at the point where YOU is what you fear?"

I look around to see where the voice is coming from, but I see none but myself and darkness
I begin to panic as my once-trusted sword hand trembles, betrays me and I am left in a state of cowardice
The first time since I was brought to the world of mortals, I begin to break into tears of repentance
I then begin my pitiful, yet powerful penance

"Tell me mortal, have you understood the importance of loyalty?
Tell me mortal, do you FEEL what you have never FELT before during your times of cruelty?
Tell me mortal, do you realize the importance of swearing yourself to protect the weak?
Tell me mortal, have you FOUND what you SEEK?"

"Yes, yes, I have.  I now understand the importance of loyalty," I swore as I shed my tears away.
"To be loyal to humanity, to be a mercenary I say, nay.
I pledge allegiance to humanity for as long as I stand."
And that my friends is how we as modern mercenaries should become loyal to Mother Earth's land.

Time

The time is near
Where I smell the essence of fear
Where children desire affection
But are given nothing short than disease and painful affliction

The time is close
Where there are no friends, but only foes
Where the old are regarded with no dignity or respect
But are driven out of their homes with nowhere to connect

The time is nigh
Where brothers bring upon war cries and burning flags soaring high
Where only the avengers are avenging
But the results bring about death tolls and no surviving

The time has come
Where deceiving leaders create lies to create nations whose senses have gone numb
Where justice ought to be deserving its rightful place
Has been snatched from the people and given a warrior's spiked mace

Time is at its end
For those who know it is time for ourselves to fend
To fend with words, with love, with peace and with unity
Divided we will fall, but together we will survive as one entity and that is humanity
