Soldier.

I shall go to the mountains alone.
I have tattooed your name across my heartflesh,
for,
I must go to the mountains alone.
The demons move through the valleys
seamlessly,
flawlessly,
with dark shuddering incantations of
hatred and death.
I shall brave them all,
with your name upon my heart.
This is my champions token.
This is my silent shield.
I shall go to the mountains alone,
accompanied by your name.
And sweet,
If I do not return,
know that I died defending your name.
Cross my rifle across my heartflesh.
Cross my sword over your name.
I have braved the caves of death itself
and found life and love again.

  1. I admire the courage of soldiers ~ This is my favorite part:

    If I do not return,
    know that I died defending your name.
    Cross my rifle across my heartflesh.
    Cross my sword over your name.
