Warrior Heart

[i]I will give you a war
the likes of which you have never seen
I will wage it everyday
battering at the hatches of your heart.

You are cold and closed
a challenge to reach you
behind your battlements
turrets and towers.

I climb the vines of your scars
kissing warm acceptance
and soothing peace upon
the barbs that don't cling to me.

I pull lashings from my skin
as I scale the rungs of you.
My armor is see through
over the surest of hands.

I will wage a war
on your broken heart
The silk I wrap around it
won't heal you good as new

But it will be soft, taut
strong and binding.
It will hold you safe
and carry you home.

Your world will turn
to seas breeze
cinnamon and glass
palms flat to sky.

Your thoughts settle
breathing slow
dreamings burn quiet, sure
and light as suns rise.

There will be an end
to our war, today
Met on hill under moon rise
the stars set to witness
Your surrender.
