The Argonaut 05:56
Argonaut... Desire within rises, a boiling king tide Expunge interior poison, sharpen the mind Like a blade forged in molten flame A steel purpose to advance thine name Persevering against a hostile world Is this what it means to be brave? Deep breaths with intention I throw myself against the ocean waves There’s a chasm between what I think and how I feel A mind bent on sabotage, trying to steal the wheel But I find calm, in my ship I pursue an uncertain fate Chasing the albatross, with a thirst only victory can slake Row the oar Split the sea A comet of resolve Though I sweat and bleed The argonaut And so this is The pursuit of the hero And so this is The pursuit of the argonaut
2.
The fissured realm quakes as they exit the tower Gated iron teeth bury into the dirt behind them Through the morning mist they heave out to the battle This hulking few who make mountains quake and kingdoms rattle A myth amongst men that their breed’s nothing but savage, and inept in all but war A culture ancient and refined, yet capable of damage, encouraging respect, commanding awe Both the enemy and the company of the trolls are petrified By the ceremony, by the intimidating gargantuan creatures Undulating In unison, martial writhing to a primeval beat Bellowing, belching, twirling, gnashing, and now stomping their feet War dance of the trolls This is the war dance of the trolls A once in a lifetime sight to behold And now they massacre, pulverise, and decimate Eating men like-Domitian-like flies on a plate Spectators horseshoe the scene, watching the violence unfold And never in their lives will they ever forget The war dance of the trolls
3.
A choking miasma at dawn Meridian thick with suffocating fog Through curling grey plume they come Persevering malevolence from otherworld Kneeling before the charred remnant I remove my blade from its sheath The realm has spewed forth all manner of enemy And now I know what fate has in store for me From earthen orifice creatures claw Salivating at the chance to devour That which is beautiful in this land Not without confrontation, not without a final stand Surrounded now, an ashen wind blows Morning sun beams through the clouds My blade glitters, on flesh it feeds And I may die fighting, but live on in my deeds
4.
Clutching at the wrist of hope Refusing detritus, grief and carnage A trail of contrition and attrition Mute the swan song Flooded and freed from darkness Hateful grasp relinquished Gleaming now with radiance and pride Stronger having endured the other side Persevered through suffering, cleansed the soul poisoned with mildew Came to discover the ultimate beauty, all which was honest and true And now I see what’s in front of me Since purging fear and misery Trialed by the dark Though I forge and make my mark And arise victorious And on the other side A paradise
