Battle

    Split open, gaping, spilled out onto my weapon

    All the more honed, all the harder at the sacrifice meted out for pleasures sake, for pains sake.

    Now they are washed together, tumbled and they are the same

    On this battle ground this land is made hallowed by the surrender of blood

    What have you left to give? I am spent, body and mind

    Who knew that fire could mix into browns and greens?

    Don’t blink, the fuel is the gaze

    Slowly you trickle onto me

    Rent and torn into a mixture of loud fluid

    This is the reward for such a furious struggle

    This is a battle of battles

    Mutual death is assured, I promise though we’ll wake

    We’ll rouse broken, sore, and pained

    In a mirrored fighting stance, braced.

    Today there is a further battle.

    Satiation wafts away on the breeze. Didn’t you know it would be this way?

    This is a war of bodies, of wills, of wants of desires.

    Soon this will become need.

    Didn’t you know it would be this way?

    My weapon will yet again find its home inside of your body

    This is the dance. Your sacrifice of blood and water and breath will not go on as a debt unsettled

    I will pay you in kind, thrusting, gouging, twisting in rhythm to your movements

    Invisible metronome of expelled air, humid and dense, complimentary

    Bathed in sweat there is no woman. There is no man. Neither is left. Just the faces of bodies slain

    Violence is its own reward. Bruises are their own remuneration. Pain is its own recompense. Shortness of breath is its own compensation. Exhaustion is its own pleasure.

    Burn green brown fire, burn

    *there is a part two, a culmination. let me know if you want to read it*

    Dom,

    I am going through some of the same crap that you are with relationships. Your poetry sums up very well the disembowelled feelings we are going through.

    I like it so far. It's just your 666th post thing that's got me weirded out ! (And the fact that JK666 followed your 666th post ... Is it some kind of sign?? )

    Part II

    Battle is done, fires exhausted, weapons down, wounds gaping

    My breath comes out pained and condensed

    I taste of so much copper

    A downward gaze. Damage surveyed

    This isn’t going to heal soon is it?

    I didn't know it would be this way.

    Welcome the cycle, its turning. It patiently waits. It surely anticipates my company

    Armor peels off in thuds, reverberations running up my legs in waves

    Off comes my helmet

    Blood trails away from me in your general direction

    I can’t tell in this haze of vision

    The earth feels warm

    Heaven stretches its fingers toward my collapsed body

    Go away

    I think I’m going to stand.
