Warriors Poem

As the blade leaves the scabbard As light hits the virgin steel The emotions well up inside me And i begin to feel i feel the lust of battle as the katana slices through through skin and bone and even souls im no longer even thinking all thought process lost The sword has taken over All emotion gone Parrying and slashing to the swords sweet song It sounds just like a mountain wind As it sweeps the valley floor And glistens like a lagoon On an islands summer shore So just as fast as it began It stops so suddenly As i wipe the blade with my fingers To remove the crimson blood as i push the blade into the scabbard To send him safely home That is the final note of the ancient samurai song
