Warrior's Heart

These hands

So much blood

This blade

Its beauty stained red

These eyes

Such sorrow

This mouth

Unsmiling

I live in death

Paying in blood

I ask

Is this Bushido?

The noble cause?

Way of the Warrior?

This life

Of unshed tears

Where I love

And can't show it

I am Heart-Torn

And none may know it

To give to others

I have sacrificed myself

This . . .

Is the Way of the Warrior

And the secret

Of the Warriors Heart
