How am I to show a girl my strength?
How can my worth be proven?
Is it enough to go to any length?
Or must a greater life be woven?

My father and the All-Father are easily appeased
But the heart of a girl is much more daunting
With a glance and a beckon I’m easily teased
Her ethereal smile eternally haunting

A pout on her lips when I tell her I go
A downcast gaze as I don my sword
I hope one day she can come to know
That my life and my love are with my word

I fight for Valhalla, I hope for my death
She tells me she wishes for better
Doesn’t she see that to my last breath
All of it was for her?

Hrm. There doesn't seem to be a category for 'Epic Love Ballad'. Oh well.

Unlike the rest of that massive poetry dump, I wrote this one tonight (and it's the reason I decided to post the others).

It's not (necessarily) written for a specific person. I was just listening to music and thinking about Norse people, when I was inspired. I thought, hey, most love poems are kind of dumb. What could I do with a love story to make it awesome?

This is the result.

I think about Norse people a lot. It leads me to some good creative spaces.
