Philip Lore Poems

A baby is born on a bright sunny day,
Soldiers dying in Iraq today.
Business men with their hot latte,
Soldiers hiding their fears away.
...

Vincent, you're such an incredible lad,
Remember our vacations...In ole' Mexico,
The Cattlemans'Restaurant, cheese cake to go.
The mountains of Germany, Italys' lake,
...

I can't take this pain here anymore,
Sometimes I forget just what I'm fighting for,
Everyday the temp is one hundred four or more,
I can't take this pain here anymore.
...

Talk a walk on the wild side,
Fighting here is a deadly ride.
In a humvee, with an armored hide,
Take a walk on the wild side.
...

Shiver me timbers, hoist up the sail,
Draw loose ye sabers, ready to the rail.
Hasten, me hardies, open ye eyes,
There lies a merchant, a pirate prize.
...

Moaning and groaning, hitting the roof,
Unbearable pain, I've got a bad tooth.
Nothing I take can ease the pain,
Not ice packs or aspirin...I'm going insane.
...

Sweet wind on the western sea,
Breathe thy salty mist to me,
Seize my heart,
As your rolling waters flow,
...

Welcome to the jungle,
You've arrived, .watch out for its wrath,
It lives on our dead, broken bodies,
Reeks of blood and death.
...

Gunpowder and cordite hang in the air,
Searing lungs, I whisper a prayer.
Tensions thick, bullets flying,
A time for killing...A time for dying.
...

Goodnight my darling, you're my sweet, sweet love,
From my bunker under the stars above.
Just to hold you in my arms again,
To kiss you lips, I try to remember when.
...
