teach them to be Warriors

teach them to be Warriors

a Warrior

heart on his sleeve

living a life of wonder

with expectation

of the coming conquest

and thus the battle

of spirituality

within the realms of the divine

found upon fields of love

feelings restrained

is the Warriors discipline

taught over the ages

hopes entombed

by the same amour

to protect his heart

from the perils of engagement

and shadows

where understanding

and compliance

dare not tread

winning was all that mattered

to conquer love

to conquer affection

to conquer self

his inhibitions

and his cautions

and grasp the prize

held in his eyes

of pending joys of forever

the spoils of love

he had no angst

against the Fair Maiden

whose adorations he pursued

there was not a sliver of darkness

just unfettered hopes

of Forever’s expressions

of the unending infinite

and eternal bliss

his intentions were unspoiled

pure

unblemished

and as pristine

as the new brook

formed from the new morns dew

that caressed

and kissed the side of the mountain

ushering forth new life

new wonder

new color

new music

spawned in the allure

of creation

all he desired

was a mutuality

found in embrace of love

and she held his vision

for he the Warrior

was captured

by the aura

of her Divine presence

the essence

of this siege

began to unfold

and the story hopefully told

to the children to come

will be of the magic

and the sum exponential

that love effects

let not the suspect

be the finality

when alternative realities

spoil the spoils

let not the taste

of this sweet fruit

depart

let the children

embrace the hearts

of imaginations

with elation

of the prospects of love

teach them too

to dream

to hope

to believe

in it

every finite minute

of their waking life

for that is of the Divine

teach them to be Warriors

of love
