To Love In War Poem by Antonia Nasi

About this mess
I must address
My sorrow and transgression

The resolve to write
About said plight
This mayhem wreaks oppression

We’ve fought this war
Numerous times before
Our soldiers, bold and strong

We remember well
That alarming bell
The sound… our Siren’s song

Such dreadful thoughts
Of long farewells
Our tearful pained goodbyes

Make love once more
On this eve of war
Before our battle cries
