Least Read Poems About Soldiers

Blood moon tears,
Kissed raged of tempest,
Consuming fire,
Bravery parity,
Gasp, ..her last breath …. insanely,
Heaven’s Angel, ...evolved salvage warrior,
Redeemed by a tumble

The nightmares bare the stench
of the boats, rotting flesh and the
street lamp humming of flies
feasting upon death

Even amidst the garden of Edom
on blood soaked ground, with sun
bleached bones I worry so much
more for the moral decay

and limbs, no man left behind after all
even the pieces go home

It’s grim, but the walking keeps me slim
can’t run when your gun is the saw
talk about a chopper, the hoodlums in
my town would be in awe

Fuck it, time to get going
there’s smoke on the...

I have longed for the season to end
Filled with steel
And tears
Dis-ease and the casualties
Making faith a liability
Weapons our bodies have had to be
To not die in the fires rampant on the street
I will do no less than rejoice
You and I are here
To give our swords to the sheath
My love, come near
Strip this war from our eyes
As victory
Is birthed a wonderous dawn
On our lips
Named...free
