Analysis of Sworded eyes
Twas a golden sword
Dear maiden fare
That etched your eyes
To the other tear
From which your spirit
Arrived swift here
To look upon
This mare and squire
Whom strong of arm
Yet soft his aspire
Took your lips
Upon his heart
Coursed your skin
In empowering brought
Love and flower
Jar and bread
And space of beauty
To lay your head
And placed your ring
Bestowed and blead
On the day far off
Together we'll be fled
