Love's Trench Soldier Poem by Alejandro Torres

Feel your scent
Tease my senses
How can it be
A flower caught in the trenches
And you tease this soldier
But I go on
Admiring your beauty from afar
The enemies sniper
Aimed at my heart
I once saw your smile
I once heard you laugh
You once disarmed me
With a touch of your hand
But now I know not
What to do
Fight against your very beauty
Drink til this face becomes ruddy
Try to forget
But it’s something the Gods wont let
Can’t win this war of hearts
No more skylarks
To tell my tale to
So fear not my rose
Fear not my savior
Shot with your beauty
In the throes
This war was never meant to last
Simple because, Love
We were never meant
To be
