Long Battle scarred Poems

Three cousins played a “game’ of war
A map of Europe spread across the floor
No adults there to keep the score
As each of them wanted more and more

Three of four empires lay upon that map
As they...

Time to choose? Time to change?

When I feel Love 
It feels like I am falling into a deep blue lake
Of a baby’s eyes.

When I hate,
Darkness consumes me like smoke,
Smothering light and extinguishing all hope.
Knots in...

These are the things i remember the most,
My dad kept moving from coast to coast.

For a minute i thought he was running from me,
 in the end i knew it was his destiny.

On These Plains I Lay

White fire and heat, blinding light, blinding bright.
Shot down on these plains,
My soldiers, My warriors,
Fading from my sight.

Battle lost?  Battle won?
Battered men, moaning in the morning sun.
I believe I am...

He's a soldier, he's battle scarred.
The enemy is weak, there is nothing to fear,
His compassion is gone, he has no tears.

He was taught well, was taught how to...

there was a great heaviness in my heart;

Good cheer, my love, as we venture forth

Over land and sea without recourse

Banished to rove us we three

No matter the tempest, remember me

As I was in our former life

In love promoting,you formed your wife

No trickery...

So I built you of my own selfish
Visions outlined in sugar coloured 
Droplets of daffodils naked skin to
Rose petals caramel and cinnamon 
Lips her eyes burn sienna in crimson
Flames and we’re writhing in a mound

O' where are the soldiers -- where can they be found?
	The soldiers lie strewn 'crost the battle-scarred ground
O' thither, O' thither the gorecrow must fly
	Wherever the bodies of dead men do lie

		Tahr-rahrahra caigh-ay

DEPTHS OF DEPRESSION,
Beyond these eyes,
rages a mental war,
in a darkness not seen before,
and a heart so hard,
from being battle scarred.

Feelings, fighting, flaming flashbacks.
Nerves become stabbing knives,
Stress is a marathon of distress,
nightmares without defence,
and prayers, like...

Left battle-scarred by war within

The old"yeller" cat, perched on the step,
So battle-scarred and worn;
He relished the warmth of the sun on his bones,
On that sweet,spring morn.

One ear was permanently bent over,
And the other--well, that was half gone.
These were long-healed...

Thus I sail the sacrificial scabrous seas and touch tormented tides
Battle-scarred in the breeze and washed ashore where evil hides
The Sun regrettably retreats where malice mortals digressively dare
Walking barren saliferous streets where I live on...
