Best Poems Written by Elaine Taylor

Fight Only

Fear of the unknown 
Our lives undone 
Fire burns on 
But the hero doesn't run 
Facing the flames 
He calls out his loved ones names 
No room for loss 
But loss is sometimes exactly the cost 
Maybe sometime the hero should run 
Maybe the soldier puts away his gun 
Why waste bullets on this 
It can all be healed 
By just one kiss 
A soft touch to the wrist 
Causing a smile to appear 
Then only fight to keep it there 
Fight only to keep it there 
Unknown to fear
