Amazon

She was always the woman for me.
Warrior, Lover, Sister, Shield Cover
the first in, last out
the One the gods had warned me about.
Sword and Flame
Amazon was her name
All this the Fates would entwine
by fine threads wrapped
eternal game.
She was for me as
I was for her
but without time and loss
nothing could occur
Across the Styx, I return again
and again
driven by quest, drawn by desire
I am the weapon in her hands
the honor for which she stands
between life and death
between passion and breath
Alpha and Omega
her beginning,
my end
I will lay down my life
for her,
defend.
