Poem 8 - She walks amid the ruins

410 15 7
                                    

Shrouded in her armor,

She walks amid the flames.

Pronounced as the victor,

They give her many names.

She returned victorious

And yet she sheds a tear.

For though it was tedious,

The battle had been dear.

For she found love so sweet 

In her own battlefield.

In the war, there they meet;

'gainst pain they've had no shield.

She fell for her own foe,

One that she battled with.

And yet she struck the blow

That made him but a myth.

For him, she lamented,

Though through him, she had won.

He was all she wanted

But kill him, she had done.

So with weapon in hand,

She starts the journey back

To the cold, distant land

Though her love it may lack.

And so closes the tale

Of a love so tragic.

Hear elements bewail

Of love that lost magic.
