WAR






War


Measures, counter measures, wounds and scars
Systematic, problematic, ordnance of war
Weaponry, battlefields, dropping of bomb
Cannon balling, name calling, will victory ever come?

Knives to the back, bullets to the head
Bayonets to the side, stabbing until dead
Underwater, overwater, flyby attacks
Night vision goggles helping to track.

Walking and stalking, following to see
Where the opposition goes to and where he might be
Interrogation, torture, tears of grief and pain
Marching mile upon the mile crying in the rain.

Wounded deep but not too deep
To go to God above
The war that started the day we met
On the battlefield of love.

I Still Cry by Ilse De Lange







Departure


I cannot go where you go now
There among the stars
And unending night
I cannot follow in your airy footsteps
Or fly on the gossamer wings
That have been granted 
In the taking of your life
And the bestowing of the death
Of the best and brightest of all companions
I can only grieve and regret now
Wondering if by loving you more
I could have kept you fastened
More firmly on this infirm planet
And preserved physically the essence
That made you who you are
That will keep you who you always will be
Here in this heart now that's deprived of your joy
Here in this mind now that is filled with your memory
Here in this house now that is haunted by your face.
