a soldier hit by a blast

Who loved him. And we, who so

Purple  satin,  heavenly,  
Perfect   wedding   suit,  
National   flag   neatly  draped.
I  salute  thee,  soldier   mine!

The cavalry charged, leading the way
     The infantry advanced, joining the fray

The tall veteran
wears a camouflage faded cap 
and dark shades to hide
his smooth, scarred face: doesn't he wish
that somebody shook his hand...
ah, unpraised soldier!

Memories

Taunting the day,
red moon rising,
tucking the sun, 
back into bed,
calling me forth,
her faithful soldier, 
collecting memories,
of stars for millennia, 
night's watchman,

The wind knows your name
It is heard in the song it sings to the stars
Now you can rest
And rest assured that no day
Shall erase you
From the memory of time

Scissor

The scissor-
Twins like cup and saucer
Eyed,but no vission
Waiting for commands like a soldier
Tells,"single hand can't clap, come together"
Cuts like politicians
Wounds  won't bleed
A house hold like a wife

Even when the war is over, you still fight the battles. You keep hold of them for posterity. Just like a real soldier from a war. Fighting the battles again and again in your head. Just like a Sven Hassel book.

Butter Side Up

In life…
Whether you remain as plain toast,
Or into a soldier you are cut,
Whether you are covered in marmalade,
Or dipped into yolk from an egg cup,
In life there’s one main rule, should you fall…
Stay butter side up!

The March of the Chocolate Soldier

I had a chocolate soldier
He had a chocolate heart;
He had a chocolate lady fair,
They never were apart.

They marched out in the morning
As daytime had begun
And there, beneath a cloudless sky,
They melted in the sun.
