Another early work...

(cleaning out the closet LOL )

 

Broken sword and shattered shield

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

Blades glistening red

Horses quivering beneath

Thundering charge

Bloodshed upon the heath

 

Clash of steel on steel

Muscles straining taut

Flesh rent from knowing bones

Face to face with death

 

Battle continues

Day into night, night on to day

Time, stretched

As a spider's thread

 

Groans of the dead and dying

Echo across the field

Bodies littered amongst flowers

Broken sword and shattered shield

Has an almost Nordic feel to it, but I think you might work on the meter. When I say it aloud, I just can't fall into a good beat, if you know what I mean.

 

On the other hand, good usage of figures of speech to portray the scene. :)
