Nemesis, Confrontation And The Rejoined Battle Nemesis - Part One


Note: 3/23/2021

This is from a long poem that was first started back in 1981

It was never completed, I now have decided to complete it.

With the hope that it shall merit as being a worthy creation

And perhaps a warning to the youths of today about the ever

Present and that very real evil lurking in this earthen realm,

always ready to pounce and destroy the innocent the

unsuspecting ones. At this point, I have not a clue how long this

piece shall become. Or what amount of time it shall take- since

my wife's cancer surgery is scheduled for March 24th , 2021..

My time to write after that day will likely be severely limited.


Nemesis, Confrontation And The Rejoined Battle
(Nemesis) - Part One

O'lord of blight dare thee to now abide
Leaving thy abode to earthen realm ride
As punisher with dark universal might
As grief bearer, humanity to smite!

Dar'est thee enter, after I so yield
Sheathed my sword, tossed away my shield
I that in sorrow abandoned battlefields
Seeking love, sweet peace and love's greener fields!

Venomous ire, thee again cross my path
To wage war and sate thy evil wrath
I that settled to in peace, here now live
And in the earthen realm yet again give!

Thee a true nemesis of fruitful life
Author of Hate, Evil and Human strife
Spreader of hate, plagues, and even worse
Dark sower of thy ever wicked curse!

Nemesis- thy hate I shall not allow
Nor to its savage commands ever bow
Thus I return as warrior to my place
And with divine aid thy great evil face!

I that now pledge again my solemn vow
With truth, courage and light defeat somehow
Thy legions of destruction, thy hate
Thy rejoining with darkest hand of Fate!

In this my great oath, my renewed pledge
Leave I safety, step over the edge
Not as a man, with horrid, vengeful hate
But crusader, before it is too late!

Robert J. Lindley, began in April 1981
(Nemesis)


( Nemesis ) -- Part Two

O' lord of darkness, my home- you I see
As your dark minions so represent thee
From dark-cast corners out they freely race
Imbued with evil, devoid of grace.

Accursed seeds of thy hate-spewing loins
Free to tempt mankind with your poison coins
Yet with Light and Truth this blackness I see
As wickedness from thy hideous tree.

Day and night into this old house they prance
Whispering morbid curses as they dance
I their buffoonery quickly defeat
Off they go- flames burning from clawed feet.

What an affront that such weaklings you send
You in your pride -swift victory pretend
For such foolishness I drew not my blade
Defeating with pure relish your first raid.

With Faith, Hope and Light, this warrior stands
Never bowing to your evil demands
I can see the future hour you take flight
As you are expelled, ending our fight.

Watch as this battle begins to unfold
With same results as was in the days old
Wherein, swift Sword of Light -cut you so deep
That whilst flying away- black tears you weep.

So set your mark- daring to bring your best
For in defeat, I bid you be my guest
Tomorrow morn, I again grab my shield
To find what depths of blood shall be spilled.

( Nemesis ) -- Part Three

Dawn breaks and sincerely its sweet calls sends
Unaware of battle the future portends
I the warrior polish my shield to shine
Knowing on my soul the beast expects to dine.

Yet from the dark shadows not a single word
As wind brings the melody of a songbird
My sword now unsheathed and razor sharp
Above sounds the notes of a divine harp.

Reminding today I face darkness and death
I bow to pray in a whispering breath
Have I greater faith in our God of Hosts
For soon the dark lord my soul thinks to roast.

Nature sends word- blessings be sent unto you
May victory be yours, the best get its dues
Suns beams down proclaiming a brighter day
Golden rays beating away shadowy grays.

From the distant hills a rumbling blast sounds
Within this heaving chest, eager heart pounds
Soon, so soon the great battle shall commence
I summon courage to this soul convince.

Suddenly sun flees away, dark clouds appear
I know the dark Lord now grows very near
Yet a new calm then within this heart grows
Steadfast courage accepts the soon coming blows.

I rise giving thanks the battle is not at night
For victory I desperately need bright light
Next the shadows all give a rousing cheer
From immense darkness, the monster appears!

( Nemesis ) -- Part Four to come…

********************************************

The above was the point the poem had arrived at as of March 23rd, 2021.
I had since completely forgotten about it. Even forgot my promise to complete it with the 4th Part.

My plan is to start the conclusion later today.
Sad thing is I may forget that plan... or else lose any inspiration to be able to compose..
Such is the current state of my ongoing memory loss and how it affects my writings.
This was started back in '81. One of my many poem fragments.
I know I have so many that about a hundred fragments will likely never be completed.--Tyr
