A Soldier's Reqiuem

Contributed by weepingprophet on Thursday, 17th August 2006 @ 07:45:23 PM in AEST
Topic: dedicatedpoems

With what dignity shall I attempt to count the inifinite?
Lies swarm out of your mouth like locusts
So loud and insidious

A strong arm and well worn shoulder
Cannot make lesser my agony
How translucent your comfort is

Trust is simple, and as such,
ever so simply broken
Can we forget the futile acts?

My dear,
With what unbridaled enthusiasm
am I supposed to muster up a genuine good-bye?

It is only clear to me that every gratitude of life
is marked unnecessary by your own anguished
desires

Go on, leave me here to question
whether you could have grown from all
the pangs of a boy
to the sorrows of an honest man

In the darkness of my closed eyelids I can see you
as vivid as a nuclear explosion
The stain of times past etching itself into my every dream

How the memories keep you
A timeless and remarkable package
wrapped up in the guilty details
of a determined boy.

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. ©
