The Ships We Fight
The anchor hangs upon the ship
It sways with the currents of the sea.
The sword strikes the rock’s head.
The wind blows like an arrow flying.
The sky is as dark as a knight’s sword bashing
Upon the light’s shield.
The sea matches the knight’s anger.
The open sea holds ships of battle
They are guarded by the swords
The captain raises his right arm
With a sword in hand exclaimed,
“B4!” He laughed
His opponent looked at him and sighed,
“You sunk my longship, and stabbed my side!”
The captain packs up his crew,
He was undefeated in the game for two.
He looks around to watch him leave,
His arms are trapped inside their sleeves.
The jacket he wears,
Hides his fears.
He looks around the padded room.
He was alone,
His game was through.
