Notice of Love and War

He woke and saw his beloved asleep with one breast partially exposed And with his fantastic limp he works his way to the kitchen He made coffee for her with croissant lathered with jam Gently he pulled at the exposed women and gestures with the tray Happily she wakes and with great affection reaches for him Coffee is second and pastries with jam come close to him But he is first and the love hits him like the wind Gently it began and gale force now He had to lash himself so he wouldn't be swept away And it grew She always lay in their position and there was no other He would mold himself to her and tease her nipple He came home weathered from the battle and with grief Friends had been shot by snipers and the heat He had seen a woman with a basket approach his friend And she dropped the basket and pulled the belt The explosion deafened him and his comrade's face is gone Fragments hit him but he is running to his friend But the friend lays silent Gazing to the wetness on his leg he falls He is deafened and wakes in terror and looks upon the leg And finding himself in bed she tries to talk with him But he claim's it's a bad dream and the basket falling And later............... The limp was his reminder of that day and he eats the croissant for his friend
