Time is a corpse,
Buried in this grave
Time lives a battlefield
Time is patient and 
Heals slowly, but
Time captures all

on a distant battlefield

The warrior a sage
—whose blood we all share

in love's battlefield

The Battlefield

The cawing
of the great birds
drew more
to the feast
on the dead
as the black swarm
of sated flies rose
their shadow
cast a cloak
over the dying.

Domestic Battlefield

a neglected yearning
orphaned, long before death
concealed in view
obscured to the world
a parting conductor; reflected
an isolated pair
left without

If you can choose the battlefield
  —you can determine the outcome

the stench rises, vultures fall
rivers run red,
“wasted wars and selfish pride”
How many of them knew the truth?

Legacy of Fear

On a battlefield lined 
  with the blood of dead letters
I slay the monsters of uncertainty
   —and their legacy of fear

Bayonet, Combat, Boots

On a battlefield so far away,
those marching soldiers never play,
all scanning the horizon,
a target in question,
freedom defender,
with their rifle,
bayonet,
combat
boots.

Us against the world 
This battlefield of love

Our happiness a target 
Were prepared for war 
We march forward

Premium Member Ego is the blockage

Wisdom revealed yet is concealed,
since we have not before God kneeled
and since dark desires yet hold sway,
we fail to make love our mainstay,
treating life as a battlefield.

Body Love-Tried Again

The bullets of your thoughts about your beloved body that sunk far into your flesh does not define your self worth.

Your body is not a battlefield, so why do you treat it like one?

turn our hearts into shields let freedom liberty ring when justice step upon the battlefield when the lamp of courage glow beyond the green hills of copperfield

For those left behind
feeling the pace,
urban sprawl
remnants of the human race.
Revisited, looking in
cosmetic world
the haze removed
the urban battlefield.

Sympathy

i do not sympathy those asking for it, i sympathy those laying down the battlefield, 
their wounds dripping blood, not surrending...
i do not sympathy those i envy them for their greatness

Premium Member The Awakening

above
  the battlefield
a flock
     of sound:
somewhere
         between
Spring
         remembers
to awake,
          with
invisible kisses..
  leaves..
    its
      fingerprint

Peace Accord

How I wish troops were  withdrawn from the  battlefield;
And peace talks were honoured and  respected.
How I wish there was a time when guns were silent;
To end one of the bloodiest wars on earth !

A Disturbed Sleep

Dead poets
haunt your dreams
and disturb the sleep.

You wake up,
startled
as in a battlefield
fighting
the airy nothing.

Last night,
you remember,
the mosquito fight
you could not win.

Frantic Shadows Tell

Frantic shadows tell
A story of devotional love
Tangled with bloody crusades
Fought on a battlefield of
Deeply faithful attachment
A minefield of forceful words
An atrocity of absolute affection

God's Greater Love

Grace is our weaponry.
Masterful minds, plagued by
mankind's hard-won knowledge,
are the battlefield.

Insight leads to readiness,
To be blessed beyond,
all human intellect,
by God's greater love.

So Helpless Brings This Dawn

These hands and eyes
Are made of clouds
We pray for the 
Red wounded deer
Frozen in
This battlefield
Time
Her red blood 
Still warm
Her eyes,
Sing out, with despair
So helpless brings this dawn

Doing Time With Love

Like a raisin in the sun
Time is its own enemy.

Encountering love on its battlefield
It ticks away with ageless accuracy.

Eternity knows no boundaries;
And love is infinite.

The Third World War: My Generals

My soldiers and 
Worse! 
My Generals
Failed to understand the kind of battlefield
They are dealing with.
They failed to understand 
The difference between
Your skin,
Your Lips,
And 
Your eyelashes.
