Meet me halfway

Meet me halfway,
Cross the slough and the mire.
Meet me halfway,
By the strands of barbed wire.

Relinquish our vows
To ravish each other,
And just for the moment,
Be brother to brother.

Meet me halfway,
Cross this killing field.
Meet me halfway,
My arms shall I yield.

Our eyes have both seen,
Such death and such sorrow,
Both of us know,
We may die on the morrow.

Meet me halfway,
In this realm of the dead.
Meet me halfway,
Where the fallen have tread.

Damn with the old guard,
So willing, we die.
Loud and persistent,
We’ve heard the death cry.

Meet me halfway,
Cross the slough and the mire.
Meet me halfway,
By the strands of barbed wire.

Let us share in good will,
Bare our souls, one another.
Meet, not as my foe.
But meet, as my brother.



Meet me halfway,
By the strands of barbed wire.
Meet me halfway,
Let us call a ceasefire.

Let us both discover,
Each other’s worth.
On this sacred night,
Of our Savior’s birth.

Meet me halfway,
As we walk towards the light.
Meet me halfway,
No longer we fight.

No longer the need,
For us to be brave,
Alas, both of us now,
Lie in our grave.

Premium Member Cherry Blossoms


 Cherry Blossoms 
 Pink
 With smiles, Of innocence.
 flutter,
 and flutter,
 waltzing,
 with the breeze, 
 as if ?
 Dancing on a slack line,
 without Mercy, 
 Trying desperately….

 not to sneeze.
 And fall….. too soon,
 Falling, falling, zigzagging,
 Into the arms of spring.
 And as fate decrees,
 at Last surrendering…..
 To, 
 Newtons Third law.
 All Quiet on the Western Front.


A Turkish Mother To the Kaiser -Ww1

How many sons 
  have we lost

How many demons
  have we found

How many graves
  must we dig

To make the ‘Fatherland’
  proud

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

Premium Member Officer Diary Entry WW1

How many more?
How many more before this devil is fed?
A hundred, a thousand, does he ever get enough?

This existence is now becoming too much to bear! 
I don’t know if life’s worth what’s happening out there

Perhaps one day they’ll praise this as some honourable sacrifice?
Perhaps it’s nature’s way of thinning life?
But so many boys now won’t be men.

Tell me who’s idea was this war again
Tell me so I can remember their name
So I can find them in hell and kill them again

Premium Member Ww1 Battle Eyes

Explosions screamed
Flame and fire roared
Hell before my eyes
My mind panicking to absorb

Thunder cracked open the cruel sky
Rain hits so hard 
Bullets fly

Sensations flood through the mind
Mud splattered up, blood in my eyes

A mighty pain hits from behind
Hit the ground hard 
Then I die

A solemn quiet
A familiar moon
Stars light up the sky

I feel then see movement then stand up right
In no man's land I'm with my kind

Moving together to a further light
No sounds, no fear, no tears to cry

Eruption of fate for a thousand more lives
We walk on through battle as others die

They join our movement, no guns, no knives
We look at each other through dead men's eyes

A sea of silent movement over fields of cries
A sea of slaughtered life sacrificed for the sake of mankind
A sea of heroes, a sea of lies, 
dreams killed forever by bullet, bomb or knife


Ww1

I am alive,
I wonder what is next,
I hear the fire,
I see the enemy,
I want to live,
I am afraid,
I pretend I'm not here,
I feel the shaking of the ground,
I touch the my muddy trench,
I worry for the next attack,
I cry in my sleep,
I am done killing,
I understand I must fight to the bitter end,
I say the war should be over,
I dream of a better place,
I try to cope with the dead beside me,
I hope my fellow soldiers fight beside me,
I am the front line.

WW1
and after bloody ww1
 our returning boys,
were bloody numb,
to walk the roads,
 with a swag outback,
to live on rabbit on the track,
half crazed from bomb and gas attack,
as crazy seen by some,
old soldiers on their rum,
when they could get em some,
outback...
