For Loki
My song for you of silver tongue
Whose words flay open the nature of our follies
And leave them open for the world to see
Who speaks daggers on the hypocrisies of those around you
Who digs open wounds like a surgeon and let us examine
That which we hide from the world
May you grant me the same tenacity
In calling out the hypocrisies of those around me
With the same strength and fearlessness
Of a father who has lost his children
And wishes to see the truth burn like an open flame
Engulfing all that surrounds it until there is nothing
But ash to dance in
May you teach me not to fear the chains nor the serpent that hangs above me
So long as the truth is ripped free from my lips
So long sewn shut
But no longer afraid to speak
And no longer afraid to illuminate cruelty
Instead of waiting in complacent silence
And may I make you proud as I fight for those monsters like me
Who lurk outside in the shadows, not allowed to be touched by the light
May these words reach the ears of the unfortunate, the outcast, and the underprivileged
And sing to them of hope, and a future burned clean of the injustices of today
I sing to you of many names
Sky-Treader, Scar-Lip, Vulture's Path
World-Breaker, Wolf-Sire, Wild and Wicked one
I sing

Hello! I’m Max, 26, and have been a proud Loki devotee for approximately six years now. I’ve had an oath with him for about five years, and am constantly learning and growing as I work with him and his family. Poetry tends to be my primary devotional act, so I look forward to sharing them with you all.
