To never see light again, to never see a familiar face, 
To starve, to cry, to slowly die.

We still have one rose crystal slipper
eagerly presented to grandmother once upon a time
by a prince of a man, who left during World War II
never to return

Remembrance

Today we remember the fallen
on foreign fields that were trodden
     by armies at odds.
     Our wreaths laid on sods
will ensure they are never forgotten.

The drone of bombers 
In the night sky 
A wail of sirens 
From the terrified city
Where youth and innocence die.

Premium Member a little cut

keeping 
the sad notes
locked away
keeps me
sane
but sometimes
it hurts
not to hurt 
I need
a little cut
to bleed away
one drop  
of life's pain
so I write 
poetry

Premium Member The Living Death Ascend

From the foots 
of the tall buildings
many living dead 
are coming up wobbling.

Stealthily,the living dead
are peeping inside
from the windows of the houses
of poor families.

Hiroshima

Under a clear blue sky 
The old city 
That once lay in ruins 
Is now flourishing with life, 
A Phoenix risen from the ashes.

Banana

The
War was
won and life
was getting back
to normal once more.
To the convalescent
War hero in hospital
the sight and taste of a fresh ripe
banana was better medicine
than any pill he had been made to take.
