This is another poem in my poem collection; another Norse setting. Hope you like it! Let me know what you think in a comment!
Valhalla Is Near
In my bones and in my heart.
From the blood on my chest and in my beard,
I can tell that the time is near.
What a battle it was!
With a sword in one hand and shield in the other,
I have instilled terror in the hearts of men all over the Northlands.
What a blow he gave me!
Curse the man who slew me!
May he rot from the inside out,
Wolves eat his flesh,
And the ravens peck out his eyes!
What a chill I feel!
The wind freezes my feet,
The moon hides behind the clouds,
Dark and cold is my demise,
And so is my countenance.
What a feast there will be!
With sword in hand, Brynhildr will carry me to
May Odin and Thor welcome me,
Tyr and Njördr congratulate me,
And raise a toast in honor of my life.
I can feel it in my bones...
