Love Warrior Poem by James Darwin Smith II

Fought hard inside many of hearts
Only to feel feeble
Tried and tried
To defeat the pain of another
Only to find out
They were always out for only themselves



So much effort
Only expected respect in return
I am not a rental
With an expiration date
Of when an ego will finally be filled



Learned so much in life
And with knowledge
Problematic things
Seems to be slowly fading away
At times we all need self-preservation
To fix self upon the path needed to be taken



I am not afraid to fight inside a heart
Now that I know where to go
Intuition is a balanced in art
If the scales are weighed in moderation



I am a warrior inside a heart
Making sure everything is safe and secure
Representing all the aspects of love
Everything untamed and pure



I am an apprentice of love itself
Always willing to learn new things



There are so many directions of love
Where shall I go from here?



I am a warrior of the heart
Fighting beyond what the past has given



Where do I see myself in time?
In each battle I fight with no limits
Fighting on inside this own heart
To make sure it is the strongest it could ever be
So I can fight in the name of an another heart
Always striving to fulfil its most modest needs


I am a warrior of love
With this heart as my weapon of choice
Defending all greater intent
In the aspects of love as a whole



Someday the unsung notions of the heart will be heard
Then each heartbeat will be felt in all its glory


This love is only but humble
Yet, it is ready to make history


Preparing deeply within my own heart
To be stronger than ever before


Never be afraid of this heart
Love has many ways to be expressed


Never one dimensional this heart
There are many ways it can feel fulfilled



Where shall go from here?


I am just a love warrior after all
