robert dove Poems

In the darkness of night
A man stands at his post
A bullet passes by way to close
But this man does not move
...

To some death is relief
To others it's a sign
It does not really bother me
Death will come in time
...

It's not about race
It's not about size
Love is love
And hard to find
...

First to die in a losing battle
will he be remembered
highly doubtful
so now his ghost haunts the shore
...

nothing left but empty space
now my mind has been erased
I watch time pass day by day
waiting an watching for her face
...

18 years old
No care in the world
Shipped off so young
To fight in a war
...
