Philip Lore Poems

You need the truth,
I'll tell you lies.
I can't let you into this landslide of pain,
You just want to hear these things,
...

From the thunder and the storm,
Throughout the night and into the dawn,
This war has binded me tight,
I can't awaken from this fight.
...

If I could, I know I would,
Say these words to you.
I love you so...I'll never let you go,
Our love is strong and true.
...

I'm a fighter,
I'm a writer,
In a far away land
I'm trying hard here, making my last stand.
...

In the arms of my lover,
Is where I want to be.
Safe and in her comfort,
She's my world, my reality.
...

O' Darling,
How I miss you.
It's been so hard being...away.
Some days I'm just so sad and blue,
...

The Katusa's were fired,
From a field just nearby...
As I watched their trajectory,
I knew someone will die,
...

Its either hot, cold or damp,
Its always rough in a forward camp,
I look up at a starlit sky,
With rockets, not meteors, that pass my by.
...

Lifted from darkness,
He brought me out of distress.
Give thanks to my Lord for lifting my chains,
I shout with joyous happiness.
...

Do I have the eyes of a stranger?
If you look deep do you see danger?
Does your heart begin to race?
As sweat runs down my face.
...
