bloody clutch

a shirtless warrior wearing baggy silk pants
bloody arms holding a sword just keeps walking
a slaughter of many but the last two
the outsider attacked metsuki clan
i am the last a few more steps till i get there
we both stand armed and both lunge forth
the clash of swords reach an end
with the final strike to the heart
or so what was thought
he thinks he has won defeated my clan
but i lie aware of his weak spot
i slowly stand tall
hoist my sword high
then with my remaining strength
i cut into the ground
swing it around my hand
then directly in the ground
a large blue flame surrounds us both
i raise my hands and drive them towards him
burn i say with a final breathe as i fall
he does as well his body dead
i awake later my body warn
i yank the sword from the ground
a bloody clutch barely holding on
i walk from the flaming ruins
looking for something new to hold on to
until then it is my bloody sword
