All Is Fair
All is fair in love and war,
For love and war are lovers.
War and Love, those deities so fair,
Aphrodite and Ares belong to one another.
All is fair in love and war,
For every soldier holds someone
Closer than anyone ever before,
and every lover has to fight
for the person they

LOVE AND WAR
Love and war, two separate planets
Revolving in one solar system
One inhabited by living hearts
The other by shadows that breathe not.
Love and war, twins of the same mother
One of humility and radiant beauty
The other, unruly, and cruelly ugly
Yet both embraced by their mother.
Love and war, reflections in a mirror
One a reality, a guiding star
The other an

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

All Is Fair In Love and War
The pandemic unfolds, relentlessly
Hiding here and there, shamelessly
Guerilla tactics in the crowded jungle
An uninformed battle line can only bungle
So we are back to commodity trading
Peddling wares whose glamour is fading
Selling systems which worked in yesteryear
Declaring of home-grown innovation, real fear
Mentally and emotionally we are at the ceiling
Tomorrow may bring the unknown feeling
Living in the past,

2 Hearts
They built a wall to keep them apart
forgetting love will not be dismayed…
for despite the barriers set out to stop them
their 2 hearts found a way.

All Is Fair In Love and War
Easy go fast and slow the melding of two souls is prime
when the sun plays hide and seek all hearts reframe
while wordless exchanges of timeless moments derail
the eye engages and the mind draws in the other self
loosing tendons as they climb to the climax of good sex
wrapping each

Two Old Photos
I was leafing through my mom’s old bible that’s sat on our shelf since she died
when two pieces of paper floated out and landed by my side
Two old photos I hadn’t seen before…photos I never knew she had…
Photos of two soldiers…one my mom and one my dad.
On the back of the two photos…five words in

In Love and War
You've heard it said?
All's fair in love and war!
Well,
most ethicists,
even war-mongering philosophers,
disagree with the "All's fair in war" part,
As do just everyday Earth-patriotic folks
who loyally prefer not to be bombed
and automatically rifled
just because some crackpot(s)
in the nearest capital city plutocracy
decide to make war,
using our kids and tax dollars,
instead of love,
co-passion,
solidarity with Earth's pro-life health.
All

Love and War
love shatters the brain-
war heals the forgotten enemy-
then it starts all over again
young hearts in a new embrace-
made to destroy the original ally-
the war is never over....
so does anybody really win?
and if one were to win is it a total triumph or is it a proportionate debate?
the questions are not really questions at all

Love and War
War
so perilous
when love's weak
but infirm
when love's resistant
when love's firm
war,
as a powerless constraint
fails
then love
takes its stand
like steel
on solid smooth land
unshaken
little wind cannot break
war is subdued
battle fails
love prevails
like a resisting seed
under dare-pressing conditions
love withstands
war's weak hands
love remains
love triumphs
against uneven paths
love survives.
Drencho POET Loads

Sonnet In Colors of Love and War
Under the impaled moon wounded by hours
Red clouds hide, stolen before dawn of day
Golden locks on little girls bounce then lay
Love light becomes trapped, lost in high towers
What is

Love and War
Hello beauty, it's me, your beast. And even though we're both at war, I come in peace. Because this fighting between us is just too much. The distance so great, we've both lost touch. So can you forgive me for yesterday? This war were fighting, the words exchanged? Because between love and war, neither is

Love and War Year On Year
Violence in the world is on the higher note,
Love is depleting shot by shot,
No one to rescue, no one to guard,
Life Is becoming hard and hard,
War is far and love is near,
Love comes first, year on year.
Ringing bell calls for love,
Blasting bomb targets the dove,
Moon is turning to red, sun is to blue,
Near is the

Life's Choices: Love and War
Love can be a kindling or cool water for war,
it can douse a tinder, or fuel an uproar;
freedom to express is such that one’s voice
ennobles or offends, there’s always a choice.
War gestates in a greedy bosom’s core,
nourished till obese, always wanting more,
tumor of hate, festers like a sore,
corpses in its wake, avaricious carnivore.
Love is

Love and War
L ove will always be in the end victorious
O nly love can be triumphantly glorious
V anity leads to pride and evil aggression
E vil loses battles in dramatic succession
What is the answer to the eternal question
that mystifies many upon their deep reflection
Will love ever conquer evils progression
eliminating warmongers hateful obsession?
Surely humanity
