My Warrior King

My warrior king

The moon of my stars

Collected under a night’s sky

At the crown of the earth

Willing to decorate the realm

Of a lush paradise

Already leafy emerald hued

My warrior king

The sun of my skies

Radiantly clad by Jah

Ebony tresses flecked with wisdom

Amidst the lion’s mane

Clad as such the kenips

Delicious around your strength

My warrior king

The wind of my power

Gently guiding the rule

Of those under his protection

Serving and mastering in turn

Cooling the air with a broad smile

A tall glass of sorrel in the waning

My warrior king

The beat of my heart

I am safe in your embrace

From any jumbie strolling by

For you hold my soul

In the palm of your hand

And hide me in your shadow

My warrior king

The pleasure of my world

I know you in dreams

But know not if it is mine or yours

The beat of steel is heavy

And regulates my pulse

Only you control the rhythm

My warrior king

The keeper of our faith

I pledge to you my days

I gift to you my nights

Until every ocean gives up it treasures

Every mountain tires of standing

I will remain beside you
