Colleen’s Weekly #Poetry Challenge # 35 – PAST & FUTURE 

         ~~~~

Lives cut short too soon

Blood and tears under the moon

No future just past.

Like Hamlin of old

The children are gone all lost

For them no future.

Their future is lost

The past will soon all be lost

Young ones what a cost.

What time are we going home.

What time are we having tea

A question now often asked of me

Are going out shopping  today

We’ve already been,what can I say.

How long do I cook the beans 

What’s the time, more and more

I know that you are still in there

Slipping away slowly, it’s not fair.

Image found here

There is sometimes a light in your eye

Are you remembering days gone by

It so strange you still look the same.

Slipping away, life’s a cruel game.

What time are we going home

You can stay I shall go alone.

Stay and have cup of tea with me

There’s​ nowhere to go, we’re home you see.

Why.

Why can it not be taken back

Erased lost removed,back tracked.

Why is it hanging still above my head

Stripping my soul, left unloved unfed.

Why can’t things be unwritten,unsaid

Screaming & kicking inside my head.

Too late it can’t be fixed

Too much pain thrown in the mix.

Soldiers Fade Away

We sent them off to war,

these bright young men

We had no knowledge of what they saw,

They were  bright young men  no more .

 

Yes they were brave and they were whole

Those that survived had all lost their soul.

Many died, they were the lucky ones , death to them was kind.

Those who returned were faded in body and mind.

 

Their loved ones at first relieved

Soon found they had much cause to grieve.

Though there in body broken, they were not home in their mind

Whether whole in body or not they had left their minds behind.

 

They went out whole, these bright young things

Taplow Court

They went full of pride for God and Kings

They ran head long into hell

Yet on return they could not relinquish it’s  bad spell.

 

So we had a nation of half men ghosts

Whimpering fearful their heads still have them at their posts.

The trenches and the blasts of bombs, the smell of death

Clung to them and bled them dry, the whole in body, the blind, the amputee it was as if the battle, they never left

 

We sent them off to war,

These bright young men

We had no knowledge of what they saw,

They were bright young men no more.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday . Loss. A Nonet.

It hurts like a razor cutting deep
Through my broken heart and lost soul.
So loved boy not mine to keep
Pain devowers  me whole.
Those words said in haste
Will forever
My love waste
I hate
It.

Truth : Three Haiku

Held safe within my hand
Such joy and happy light
All gone now like grains of sand.

Love Is In Da Blog :Song Lyric Sunday 3

For  Love Is  In Da Blog on Sunday  we join  up  with Helen Espinosa at This  life one  word at a time.

Just fooling around  with  Bee said : Sunday’s are of course reserved for her meme and as it is Valentine’s Day I suggest as prompt:

A song you connect with a loved one

It doesn’t need to be your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, fiance, fiancee. There are many sorts of “loved ones”: children, friends, aunts, uncles, grandparents… you get the gist.

However, you can do a song and the lyrics and connect with Helen’s Song Lyric Sunday.
