knowing the bombs will drop soon.
Everything will change
as reality coughs up the phlegm
to absolve this caustic cage of life
i percieve as truth.

I should be smiling
yet there is remorse.

A few hundred passings of the sun
i spent, assembling this attack,
so beautiful and rigid
like a shiny scythe readied to reap.
To repair.

Blackened by fabrications
i ready myself for victory
over a war i never wished to wage,
this vessel of pain
i do not pray to share
but obligation impales me.

Time to erase your anchor
and release your foundation.
I am sorry
for this fist of splinters you have to eat,
it's just the way things are,
nothing personal.

Now bleed.

Saying ur poem is beautiful, doesn't seem right
a true to life portrayal of a soldier's conflicts
extremely well-written
damn the ironies of life...
God bless.

these words are stronger than strenght.......seeing things from your point of view makes me feel different.....always wanted to be a soldier......maybe I am not strong enough for that...I'll stick to being a nurse..........although these words speak strenght and weakness all together,I take my hat off for you,and yet I am sad for you......feeling so strong about death?....cant be a good thing....but well written through these words.Thanks for letting me see what you see.

Your words are perfectly placed to paint
a picture of cold and pure
battle.

"everything will change".
(great line !)

( nice write ! )

Peace&Love
