No Love On the Battlefield
Words of missiles
Blows from cannons
Swords in tongues
We had withdrawn apart
Unspoken strategies
Mind of mines
Stealth attacks
Against one another’s heart
Gunshot smoke becomes the aroma
Of the atmosphere amongst us
Causalities in our bloodshed
Dormant our affectionate love
Love cannot survive in warfare
We shield our warm center graze
Cause of damage internally praised
By the open hand grenades
Blind to see our adversary
his annihilation in vengeance
Precious life dying before sunrise
No waving flags in distance
Time sails swiftly
Duo soldiers still at war
No arsenal, no ammunition
Peace constantly ignored
Clinch with knives
Till one is killed
Love must die to survive
On this insensible battlefield
