As his hand held the horn Advancing in the flow Guided by the gold glow The scent of a black thorn Caught his courageous core. Bravely, his blade he bore The callous cave calling The evil and lurking Mischievous monster The mourning, mad mother Of the deceased Grendel. The ghost of the rebel Haunting the silent rocks Bones, brides, breeches, in blocks. And his hand held the hilt For no demon will spilt His burning and blessed blood. Blue and bright was the sweep His body sinking deep In this felonious flood. He shuddered as he shone “ Look, I could light your lone” What a wielder, my woe !” “ Show yourself, filthy foe I thus swear, your demise Will be swift, I promise…” “ Sweet sayings, o slayer Come closer, commander, Epic epitome Of grace and of beauty I reckon you royal I do know you, kind knight I have been, from afar Whilst you were with Hrothgar Beholding, in the night Your might and your madness. I praise your pure prowess Until my dreaded den You have disturbed my dawn And slaughtered my fine fawn… You must be Beowulf Son of the bees and wolves. “ “Silence, seditious sin You are not from my kin Let alone from my line You will never be mine ! March, woman, bow your nape Under my trusted blade Let your light crimson cape Fall to the fallen floor This shelter you have made Your marooned murky moor In this stretch naught was found Your kingdom and your mound Shall be your last torrent The moon will be crescent !“ His eyes devoured her Dear delicious posture He pondered, standing there Over her tempting tone This soft gift of nature… He wanted her dead, gone She cursed him with a kiss Basking in a pure bliss His sallied sword collapsed As the time sighed, elapsed She skimmed him in the sun With her dark divine dun Seducing and soft sight And he had lost the fight He left her shining side When the tedious tide Swallowed his strong structure As a King, with no cure !

This weak and weary wound
