A Warrior of the Heart

A Warrior of the Heart

A Poem by Ironthorne
"

A poem of love found in the toughest of places

"
A warriors crossing through the night
His hopeful journey transformed trite
A mere shadow of what he was
Reflecting diurnal all his flaws
With each step he further strays
A haggard journey that made him gray
Stumbling upon a murky forest
Ne'er a place for the purest 
A dangerous route he dared take
Through this evil he risked his stake
Wading through the muck and filth
Weapon drawn for a beast's blood spilth
Lowering his weapon to conclude the fight
A distant twinkle caught his eye
To himself he asks, "What doth thou see?"
He quietly answers, "A beautiful maiden facing me..." 
He points his blade to the light
As one lone tear rived from his eye
She beckoned him to her side
His mired stagger became a stride
The warrior marveled her silhouette
Wondering how he'll ever coquet
She's a painting from days long gone
A masterpiece of breaking dawn
This maiden sees only cracked oils
Yet this warrior knows she's his journey's spoils
Once was lost and now he found
The precious maiden his heart hath crowned
She touches the scars he had wrought
From the many battles he had fought
Revealing her own scars she thought marred
To her surprise the warrior awed
At the beauty he found in her shared flaws
Making this journey worth all their scars
