Poem Title:
Poem
I stare into your eyes. Your smile so full and bright I think of and hear the sound of your voice. I close my eyes and see your soft skin touching me I feel your breath, your warmth, your grace so near to me. I hear the whistle go I feel my heart becoming cold For now the time is here Time for innocence and love to disappear I look at your smiling face I say a prayer for you and the human race I put your picture in my chest pocket next to my heart Hoping if I die we will never part The sludge of mud and blood under feet Running now towards death soon to meet The thuds of men hitting the ground The cries and screams surround Fear takes a hold of me Rage burns a hole in me I kill what's in front of me Bayonet stabs so viciously I feel the temper die I pretend I hear a lie To retreat, to retreat! I see them come at me Through the smoke I hear their battle roars I am spent, I can fight no more Shot several times I feel no pain I hit the ground where I will remain I try to find the picture of you I look at your pretty, smiling face My eyes subdue, I feel deaths embrace I tighten my grip around the picture of you I rest my eyes to die knowing......... I truly love you.
