Devil player
faded charm
mindless trickster
she dared fight,
One fair combat—
all she wanted

Biding adieu
to his wonders
such a let down
ice rock heart
She kept weaving
her wild verses
while she smoked,
she drank,
she laughed
Yet he fired
treason bullets
thinking he’d
just reaped
her heart
He believed
her wounds
were deadly—
lousy honour,
crumbling Bard!
Yet the stars,
my friends,
just wished
that night,
For old-time
cheats
to burn
to ash
And with fighting
all abandoned,
on forged devil
with a mask
She poured
unforgiving lava,
blazing verses,
flaming darts
Biding adieu
to his wonders
while

Thanks so much Kritika, I’m really happy you enjoyed the story and the flow. It took a while to get the poem into this shape – as it felt important to honour this “She” the proper way. I am really grateful for your feedback 🙂
This is such a powerful piece VB. It’s something you should be proud of and the time you took to ‘get it right’. You have woven the story well and I love how the protagonist finds her feet and strength in the end 💪 Keep writing Warrior 💜
I like the ‘She; here. So beautifully you carved her stature. Enjoyed the style and flow of words.
