[hometext] => This poem is about a soldier as he goes to war, the loneliness he feels while being away from home but also the brotherhood he feels with his fellow soldiers
[bodytext] => He looks out the plane window Then looks around at his brothers All wearing camo and holding rifles Nobody speaks, nobody moves He sits in silence as he crosses the ocean He is there but his heart is not He left it behind when he said goodbye When he let her go, he left her with his heart Twelve months apart, will their love last? He wonders every day if she’ll wait for him Will she hold fidelity or break his heart? Does she know she is the reason he fights? The plane lands and he sets up camp His home for a year and maybe his grave He knows he may never see her again But her picture is always in his hand He sleeps in the sand each night alone Dreaming of his return and her angelic face He hopes to wake and be in her arms But he knows he will only be holding his rifle again He wakes in an instant from a loud scream He hears the mortars fall and grabs his helmet His brother cries from pain of a lost limb All he can think is, thank god it’s not him He hides in the trenches, huddled in a ball He looks at her picture and prays he’ll see her again Then without warning, a sharp pain in the chest A bullet has truck him through his bullet proof vest The corpsman is there right by his side The doc looks him in the eyes and says he’ll be fine He closes his eyes and dreams as the sun begins to shine He wakes in the hospital with a nurse this time He’s going home, bandaged and bruised But he knows wounded is better than dead His fight is done, his battle won As he sees her smile waiting for him [comments] => 0 [counter] => 197 [topic] => 57 [informant] => corpsman2000 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
