Listen to poem:
Love and War
My heartstrings he played with a gentle touch
Trust works both ways with such blissful delight
In midnight garden his kiss made me blush
Memory so dear will cherish that night.
Turbulent time imminent war proclaimed
Echoes of armour and shields polished bright
I sit with my needle fear is unfeigned
My gentle lover is a fearsome sight.
Subjected to masculine rules and whims
Emotions are kept under strict control
Although my future looks extremely grim
I have one thing to guard that is my soul.
Love comes at a price in uncertain times
One midnight tryst I remember sublime.
