Midst of Battle
Thy piercing glance splits my heart
Spewing forth a crimson song
Which delights a woven string
From whence such a wound did come
If life should drain upon the grass
Never wait to send a letter home
Clench your teeth with thunder
And allow the moon to shiver
Upon a breath your fingers dance
Let them soar with phoenix wings
To the ravaged beast within
Forever in your memory

El Tigre
Upon a breath of wind
Glistening swords unsheathe
Streaked by stripes of lightning
Abound for truest aim
Companion spirits soar
Unrivaled bond of life
Beyond eternal sleep
Our eyes meet forever
As soft as velvet streams
With a sweating dagger grin
An enchanted vessel
White merged with black and red
Upon a breath of wind
Glistening swords unsheathe
Streaked by stripes of lightning
Abound for truest aim
Companion spirits soar
Unrivaled bond of life
Beyond eternal sleep
Our eyes meet forever
As soft as velvet streams
With a sweating dagger grin
An enchanted vessel
White merged with black and red

Tiger's Fury
Soaring through the trees
Narrowed eyes breathe night
Seizing the dark breeze
Unleashing flame’s light
Harmony untamed
Arrows and teeth glow
Targets truly aimed
Resonating flow
Upon trembling ground
A hollow gaze falls
Where Silverwind is found
And El Tigre calls
Soaring through the trees
Narrowed eyes breathe night
Seizing the dark breeze
Unleashing flame’s light
Harmony untamed
Arrows and teeth glow
Targets truly aimed
Resonating flow
Upon trembling ground
A hollow gaze falls
Where Silverwind is found
And El Tigre calls

Stance of Eternity
The purr of night echoes
With a drum beating chest
Blazing through the willows
Without a sound nor rest
Wielding the weight of life
Death is all too easy
To give up is a knife
Twisting ever deeply
The scorns of darkness fall
Yet laugh when they should come
Though smashing through each wall
With hideous eyes numb
Let loose with every roar
Removing stern pity
Grinning as arrows soar...
Stance of eternity

Sun Pixy
A dream to hold the necro night
With harvest moon as shade of skin
A cursed smile beckoning delight
And frigid heart beating within
Captivating even death
To come and bow before you
With hollow and shallow breath
At your word, its will to do
Hungry gazes from jaguar eyes
Enticing the darkness to dance
Giving life to ferocious cries
With poison lips dipped in romance
A dream to hold the necro night
With harvest moon as shade of skin
A cursed smile beckoning delight
And frigid heart beating within
Captivating even death
To come and bow before you
With hollow and shallow breath
At your word, its will to do
Hungry gazes from jaguar eyes
Enticing the darkness to dance
Giving life to ferocious cries
With poison lips dipped in romance

The Curse
Crimson breezes fill the sky
With arrows and tiger teeth
Beckoning all foes to try
To make my breath their sheath
Their swords hunger for a taste
Of my last beating of heart
To devourer all in haste
Causing all life to depart
I grin as their claws tear flesh
A sea weeping forth my blood
Insane jaws grasp at my chest
Existence lost in a flood
A hideous roar echoes
On the silver forest wind
Shivering the ghastly foes
Their darkened eyes strained and pinned
Resurrect infinity
And all is a hollow soul
Life with death affinity
Reason betrayed...lost control
Is death only lost in jest
So lightly taken again
Without words of any regret
And with all purpose arcane?
Corpse retrieved again to wed
With war forever in time
Everlasting living dead
Not peace, nor love, nor sublime
Crimson breezes fill the sky
With arrows and tiger teeth
Beckoning all foes to try

A sea weeping forth my blood
Insane jaws grasp at my chest

Call of a Hero
Walking through the distant stream
A hero’s heart echoes call
Soaring like a channeled dream
Beckoning inspired awe
Who brings forth a hallowed night
To grasp the essence of life
To drink from eternal light
Enchanting songs beyond strife
Flexing wings to glide above
A crescent moon’s shining bliss
Capturing flight of a dove
Watching sun, earth, and sky kiss
Breathe forth a breath forever
Alive energies glisten
Waken spirit’s endeavor
Just seek within and listen

Winged Compass
Swift winds breathe through soaring forests
Echoing across meadow's bliss
Feather woven with rod unrests
Until piercing; a silver kiss
Wings enveloped in blue of sky
Rhythmic with stripes of black and white
A chorus of silence does fly
Fusion of spirit, heart, and sight
Emerging past the darkened dawn
Visions interweaving in grace
Stars shining upon arrows drawn
Arching to the heaven's embrace
Where freedom poetic reigns forth
Untrammeled hearts summon the wild
Streaming the Compass’s true North
Enchanting sweet red of lip's smile
Swift winds breathe through soaring forests
Echoing across meadow's bliss
Feather woven with rod unrests
Until piercing; a silver kiss
Wings enveloped in blue of sky
Rhythmic with stripes of black and white
A chorus of silence does fly
Fusion of spirit, heart, and sight
Emerging past the darkened dawn
Visions interweaving in grace
Stars shining upon arrows drawn
Arching to the heaven's embrace

Requiem to Soldiers Fallen
Through a barrage of night
Weapons clash again foe
For honor, for freedom
Giving all in their might
To relinquish and slay
With their lives do we pay
Crimson hands gripping tight
As their breath slips away
Calling for a loved one
They'll ne'er see again
A mother, wife, or son
Father, daughter...no one
Upon the field you lay
Your body torn away
You have given your life
The red badge of courage
For us, even day
You are not forgotten
*bowing head*

One Favor
Hoards of breaths meet the chill
Swords and daggers wielded
Lightning flashes in their sweat
Black as night descends
Thirsty in every devour
Their spirit never solaced
Unawakened and uncleansed
Their forever is to destroy
My Eyes narrow to their grit of teeth
A thousand to one...so be it
Crimson will sing, by thy will...
El Tigre roars with the tear of Thunder
My bow gripped tightly
My stance firm against mighty wind
With Cape whipping its flashing Light
And roars beyond death seethe forward
My hand rises...calling them forward...
BRING IT!!!

Wings of Light
Venomous hordes surge
With their blackened armor clanking
Sweating teeth eager for flesh
A dozen paces to my neck
I close my eyes
Lowering on one knee
My breath becomes silence
As spirit begins to soar
Light of white emerges
Blossoming like a wave behind me
Twelve Legions appearing
Shattering the darkness
Petrified to statues
Their swords and daggers never come
Their mouths ceasing blasphemes
And their might, a frozen roar
Pointing towards the lost
I whisper as the wind
“Do you not know?
We are never alone…”

Wonder
Fur of white and black
Fade in the forest
Paws silent as snow
Breath deep with wonder
Leaves nestled in green
Mingle in the breeze
Singing by sunlight
Watching in wonder
Silverwind whispers
Tiger tail swishes
Merging in the stream
Of dreams' true wonder
Fur of white and black
Fade in the forest
Paws silent as snow

Star Winds
Fingers flex, pulling back arrow with sinew
Eyes narrow upon the starlight of heaven
Fingers release and soaring begins anew
Above forests, above clouds and mountain peaks
Harmonizing of the silver wind and blue
Ever reaching the pure heights of forever
Finding their glistening mark with aim so true
Fingers flex, pulling back arrow with sinew
Eyes narrow upon the starlight of heaven
Fingers release and soaring begins anew
Above forests, above clouds and mountain peaks
Harmonizing of the silver wind and blue

Rain of War
Tumbling through torrents of night
Lightning crashes all around
Trembling the earth to scream
Yellow eyes pierce through the rain
Blades strike with gritting of teeth
Deluge pouring from armor
Lost to the eternal mists
Relentless cries never end
Blasphemed forest closes eyes
War rages the horizons
Ne're ceasing storm winds blow
Drinking crimson in its streams
Liquid cheeks clash into time
Claws sink in flesh and sinew
Taking each breath for the last
With mine as well into night
Tumbling through torrents of night
Lightning crashes all around
Trembling the earth to scream
Yellow eyes pierce through the rain
Blades strike with gritting of teeth
Deluge pouring from armor
Lost to the eternal mists
Relentless cries never end
Blasphemed forest closes eyes
War rages the horizons
Ne're ceasing storm winds blow
Drinking crimson in its streams

Claws sink in flesh and sinew
Taking each breath for the last

Spring leaves
Green wonder
Plucked by wind
Floating
Nestled by time
Breathing in sync
With liquid emotion
Dance to silent streams
And awaken
From mourning
So eyes may see
What ears cannot hear
What does the breeze whisper?

Strands
With nimble fingers
He ties the rain
Weaving it to his whim
Into a tender tapestry
Formless
Yet in every form
Spoken within silence
With nimble fingers
He ties the rain
Gliding emotion
Into each thread
Limitless
Yet in every limit
Heard without resonance
He ties the rain.

Greetings SparrowHawk,
I feel very honored to have influenced the movement of emotion within you with my poem. It is a great compliment and perhaps what most who share an expression seek to do. Thank you.

Ripple Capture
Clouds of dark
Winds of deluge
Pour into the day
Wielding immersion
Unyielding torrents
Tie my breath
Dripping off my lips
Heart beats thunder
Lightning lingers
Within the soul
Hand untouched
Captures the rain
Tightened chest
Leaves a ripple
Forever reaching
The rain comes
Enveloping
And its breath
Is mine
Clouds of dark
Winds of deluge
Pour into the day
Wielding immersion
Unyielding torrents
Tie my breath
Dripping off my lips
Heart beats thunder

Captures the rain

Enveloping
And its breath

Jungle Night
Traversing through jungle
Gauntlet of razor leaves
Eager for the passers by
Hidden eyes hold their breath
Unwoven embers light
Beneath drenched canopy
Shadows streak and shiver
Contrast becomes extreme
Wings capture silent breeze
Feathers float down, twirling
El Tigre's tail swishes
Hidden eyes swallowing
El Tigre's ears twitching
Bow gripped and arrow drawn
Heartbeats tighten the chest
Hidden eyes beckoning
Thunder crashes the night...

Again
I lay my back upon the grass
Moisture permeates my clothes
Seeping to my skin
Rain drops onto my chest
I close my eyes
They splash upon my face
The sky falls on me
I am soaked
But finally
I can breathe again
I lay my back upon the grass
Moisture permeates my clothes
Seeping to my skin
Rain drops onto my chest
I close my eyes
They splash upon my face

Encounter of Darkness
With feet as feathers
Floor of forest dream by
Mist rises
Earth quakes
Serpent eyes flash
Leather wings arch
Thunder erupts with flames
The Dragon has come
Eyes widen, breathing broken
Grips of bow and molars clench
El Tigre unsheathes his teeth
Roaring beyond mountains
Arrows barrage as lightning
With lunging stripes of white and black
Scales of iron twist and shatter
Revealing streams of red
Jagged strike of venom claws
Tearing jadite armor
Body launched
Crack of ribs meet a tree
Dragon flexes, spitting lava
Lightning reflexes dive away
Rolling into a stance
Grasping arrows, arching bow
Tiger teeth pierce dragon flesh
Aim of arrow steady held
Released at thrice the wind
Silver alloy meets dragon eye
Throat reels into the clouds
Screeches of exploding hisses
Wings flail, scratching the sky
The world trembles
With feet as feathers
Floor of forest dream by
Mist rises
Earth quakes
Serpent eyes flash
Leather wings arch
Thunder erupts with flames
The Dragon has come
Eyes widen, breathing broken
Grips of bow and molars clench
El Tigre unsheathes his teeth
Roaring beyond mountains
Arrows barrage as lightning
With lunging stripes of white and black
Scales of iron twist and shatter
Revealing streams of red
Jagged strike of venom claws

Stitched or woven perhaps in streams
Or metaphorically found
But always aspects comprising
Of expressions of emotions
For that is what brings it to life
*grin* In other words, I create with how I feel.
Thank you landt007!

Red Dawn
Tremulous horizons flicker
Red dawn presents its fevered touch
A rusted sword protrudes the earth
Glimpses of the past echoing
Clamoring armor scratch the air
A thousand feet like timed thunder
About to write their history;
Another finger dipped in blood
Horn rises, sounding its cursed song
Spears and swords lower towards their aim
A deafening roar surrounding
A mesmer and his white moa
His hand places upon her neck
Stroking her pure feathers of white
His hand clasps his wand; he whispers
“Does our story end here, my friend?”
