War Zone Poems - Poems about War Zone

In the War-zone of Self
I am a mosaic of strength, built from pieces of scars and stars, loving fiercely, too fiercely perhaps, and wrapped tight in the armor of over-care. I am not counterfeit, nor a shadowed ghost but real, pulsing with heart and hurt, loving with all that I have, and more than I ever learned how to hold. If I’ve wounded you, those I cherish...

Premium Member From the War Zone Side-Line
As a war journalist, my new assignment took me to the side-line of the Elfin war zone, where I found an old tavern, a long-time community center for the travelers and locals, flocking to meet, share stories and unwind in the cozy rustic milieu, that preserved the essence of social camaraderie and congenial hospitality with a touch of familiarity. The patrons heartily...

War Zone
I admit, within every human relation That there exists no true control. There's always a chance of tribulation But connection be always the goal. We seek souls that bring us balance And to help us feel complete. When two souls together dance, With it no feeling can compete. But with love comes days of sorrow, With secret tears being held at bay; When one...

Burning and blazing meteors fell on my right and left Is it from heaven or hell, why can’t they spare me just? Searching for food I came, not for this war I detest! Won second place in Threesome Poetry Contest sponsored by Silent One...

Premium Member Keeping Our Porch Like a War Zone
Our porch looks like a warzone. We keep it this way intentionally. Not only do people not feel welcome, But it is rare when a person will venture to our front door, Fearing what might crawl out at them. Grabbing them by their legs as they stumble through the debris. To get to our broken doorbell, which does not alert us...

War Zone
Start WAR ZONE Sound of gunfire boomed all around Amid the ruins of dilapidated buildings Men in combat uniforms lurked in anticipation Resembled zombies, which gave eerie feelings Two snipers in ghillie suits Face smeared in camouflage paints Lay on their bellies with telescopic guns Attention focused like praying saints Their target was an ammunition store About hundred meters down the road Their orders were...

The War Zone of My Life
for Aidan in row 5 At the edge of the sky, there is a crimson slash seen through the leafy scrolling of trees that soldier the perimeter of the lake. Overhead there is only gray, as in the war zone of my heart where there have been far too many casualties. Lamplight in a window, abruptly extinguished,...

War Zone
My life is under attack Enemies hiding in shadows Snipers, ruining me so silently Fighting an enemy I can't see No hands to hold Everyone is against me Including you The insides of me Betraying me Twisting me into despair Grab your weapon Target right at me But watch me stand after each hit Because I am better than these shadows Take a step back, After each blow Then regain myself I...

The War Zone
I sit at my desk, an unremarkable posture Crooked back, crouched forward Hands, shaped like lobster claws Ready to pounce on the invisible prey However, my quarry is a thought, not yet set to reveal itself Scrambled thoughts of memories ferment Oozing out and dropping to the floor Trampled on A phrase or two lifts and permeates through my fingers A loud click...
