Battle Song
https://thebeginningatlast9.com/2024/05/02/no-theme-thursday-05-02-24/ I heed the call of battle song I journey through this valley long For fighting I was born and bred A sharpened blade to sever heads Amidst the grime, amidst the gore I find my peace when I’m at war

Thoughts At Dusk
Another day comes to an end Reflecting on what’s come and went Basking in the fading light Prepared to welcome deepest night It’s here that I feel most at home My thoughts are free and so they roam The dying light is so serene It shows me things I’ve never seen My mind is open,…

Impending Storm
The sky turns grey, the air turns chill A storm it brews behind the hill Impending rains and winds of gale The sky it cries torrential hail I hear the rumbling far away The voice of gods be heard today Their fury, they give just a taste Find your shelter, find with haste Heed it…

On Friendship
Two more different one can’t find With you I’m free to speak my mind To talk about my hopes and dreams One can’t find a better team Where I say black, you say white Neither wrong, yet both are right You aren’t a critic, aren’t a judge You have my back and never budge When…

Walk Through Enchanted Woods
She always walks enchanted wood Always in her crimson hood Her lips of red, her flowing hair Every night I see her there From a distance, scent so sweet A cracking twig beneath her feet Hunger always, every night Sweetest fruit I long to bite I gaze on her with eyes of red Fevered thoughts…

The Oath of Right
A battlefield of broken dreams Where once we ruled and reigned supreme T’was not supposed to end this way Our destiny to win the day Betrayal left us unprepared Once brave men were running scared Tore into us like wild beasts A rabid hell they had unleashed Wretched bodies strewn about I hear another anguished…

Meanderings At Dusk
I am waiting for dusk to arrive As darkness falls I feel alive My thoughts meander, feeling free As night slips in I truly see This clarity is so divine I feel it now, this world is mine Mine to have and mine to hold To tell the tales I’ve not yet told The air…

You Are The Reason
I am the thing that you cannot contain Born from your fire, born from your pain I’m an eternal smashing machine Power unhinged on the verge of obscene I hold doom in my hands and hate in my heart Destruction to me is a work of sheer art You try to deny me, yet always…

Broken Free
A reckoning at hand The hour has arrived They thought him to be dead But somehow he has survived The deepest depths of Hell Have been ripped and torn asunder Broken is the yoke That he had been living under Vengeance is at hand Moving with impunity Pray that you survive For the beast has…

I Leave To Mend
The world that is I leave behind I wish to seek my peace of mind I agonized to stay or go How I struggled you don’t know The wounds upon me left a mark Alone and grasping in the dark I’ve been cut deeply to the bone My time has come to be alone Within…

Forever Proud
I sail across the crystal sea A new adventure beckons me Awash in gold and emerald treasure A bounty full of wine and pleasure I left my home so far away Ever onward from this day I’ll claim my prize and claim my crown No mortal man can strike me down My axe rules all…

Overlord
I sit upon my granite throne A force unlike you’ve ever known I took your heart and stole your mind Never have you seen my kind Imbued with powers so obscene Your every thought I have foreseen I’m everywhere, you cannot hide I know what moves you deep inside Deep within, can’t be ignored Now…

Warm Goodnight
A streak of red across the sky A scarlet hue which caught my eye The coming of impending night Fading slivers, precious light Reflecting in the reddish glow Thoughts that only I can know Time to think and time to dream Lost within the crimson stream My mind has started taking flight As you kiss…

Firewatch
I sit up with the rising sun This firewatch is almost done Inhale the smoke from cigarette Another night I’ll soon forget I watch the minutes crawl along I think of old forgotten songs Anything to pass the time I swear this boredom is a crime All the boys are fast asleep I’m off to…

Of The Setting Sun
As the sun sets on another day I reflect on all that’s come my way The good, the bad, the in-between I ponder what it all could mean Reflect on choices, good and bad Look back on moments, bright and sad The weathered storms, the broken dreams The quiet and the fractured screams The victories…

The Subtle Art of Giving Up
A momentary lapse For a moment I forgot I had found the will to fight And then I asked myself for what? Swim against the tide Or climbing up a hill I thought it paid to try But I find I’ve had my fill Chasing down a dream But I found it’s just a joke…

Mystery Unbound
A winding road in dark of night A quiet march in search of light The cool night air my only friend Upon a path that has no end The moon is watching over me My thoughts adrift and floating feee A dreamscape lying up ahead A map of mind that’s left unread I walk this…

Lunar Musings
I stare into a blackened sky I see the moon is rising high My mind alive with many thoughts Some of them I paused and caught Somewhere a love comes to an end Somewhere a heart begins to mend Somewhere a child has gone to sleep Somewhere a girl begins to weep Somewhere a limit…

Burger Bliss
When I find I’m feeling down I take a drive into the town To a diner oh-so quaint Not fine dining, no it ain’t Chicken’s good, the breakfast too But what I tell you, this is true The burger’s what I came here for I order one, sometimes one more The melted cheddar, golden love…

At Dusk
At dusk I watch the setting sun A time to stand, no need to run A peaceful calm like satin sheets The scent of Spring on air so sweet A chirping bird heard here and there As for their respite they prepare The auburn sky I gaze upon With Mother Nature I am one In…
