Freyja

A poem for Freyja, the Norse goddess of love, sexuality, beauty, fertility, gold, war and death.

Thunders search the realms for you,
Ripping the skies in two
As the sun travels the wild sky,
I wish on Huginn's and Muninn's back to fly
Over Midgard and open seas,
Where the search for you it leads!

Your hall offers home for fallen warriors,
Our brave ancestors!
You welcome them home
And your Hall their home become.

You represent love and fertility
For you inspired numerous works of art with your beauty,
Your name given to flowers
Over the land, like towers;
Women calling you for fertility,
Your beauty and sexuality.

You're the "Lady" in old Norse
So many names in modern times, makes other confuse
The origin of your name...
Ohhh what a shame!
How can someone forget your name so beautiful
And you being so rightful?

I travel through the lands of Midgard,
Going pass Byfrost's guard,
Through the depths of Helheim
Right in the freezing hell of Niflheim.
Through the burning fiels of Muspell
Running towards you to tell
What I feel for you, my dear Freyja!

I ride in your cat-pulled chariot, shrouded in your cloak;
Going deeper in the woods of oak,
I venture into dangerous realms to come closer to you.
Many warriors go to Valhalla, but I change course for Sessrumnir, to you,
My dear Freyja!

I enjoyed the complete poem. You create a place and myth. Myth and story are my favorite. I like what she represented and the desire to go to her. No weakness in the amazing poetry.
