Written 6/9/07 <br /> <br />Sharp, <br />Swift as a horse. <br />Thy blade <br />Cometh forth. <br />Malicious Demon, <br />Heroic Guard. <br />Clash, fighting <br />Thus far. <br /> <br />Tempered <br />By one another. <br />Each, he owes <br />His opposing brother. <br />Sunrise, sun sets <br />On each new day. <br />Leaving battle scars <br />In shadows’ wake. <br /> <br />Blade to blade, <br />Steel clash. <br />Each attempt <br />To surpass. <br />Both to prove <br />They are better. <br />No matter <br />Damage they weather. <br /> <br />Now, <br />A new threat has risen. <br />To Savior and Sinner, <br />The choice has been given. <br />Against tyranny, two fists <br />In the air, in defiance. <br />Rivals join <br />In alliance. <br /> <br />Evil lies <br />In defeat. <br />And cooperation <br />Plants a new seed. <br />Swords in sheaths, <br />Warriors tread. <br />Though rivalry <br />In friendship shan’t end.<br /><br />David N.
