Battlefield

by Jessica   Sep 4, 2008


I'd fight without a second thought
through a battle in which they've sought
protect you from cruel affairs
and the pain within their deadly glares

Shield you with my mind and love
then block their access with a shove
provide you with a sly escape
attack once they stare agape

Or outsmart the tricks up their sleeve
stand our ground and make them leave
unite in a circle of trust and wit
defend until the odds are split

Sway the ones in charge astray
place perfection on display
celebrate as they depart
then hug you to my silent heart

Promise that forever we'll be
together as a family
there is no ending to this life
if we avoid the fire and the strife.

I tried. Ha, Based on Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. probably doesn't make much sense unless you're familiar with the books.

    Haha this is so interesting :D I've never read a poem based on breaking dawn such a creative idea. My favorite stanza was I think the second one? Because it says "shield you with my mind and love" I think there you are portraying Bella in this poem, am I correct? Because she has that field in which she can protect those around her :D It's an amazing poem and it also makes an interesting read.
    You really have caught Bella's personality because she always think about others before herself. Also the last stanza I find very cute because it introduces the family and how you are going to stick together :D
    Amazing read. xxxxx Keep it up

    By the third stanza she changes theory on what to do to protect her family but i can see how that threw off the flow and lost you. :]

    Actually the first line of the third stanza sort of threw the flow off for me. There's something about it that doesn't exactly go together with the rest. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe it's just me. Despite not reading the novels, I still find this piece intriguing and with sharp images.
