I will return my love

Two poems about life, war, peace and death. Remember what John Denver said. "War is man's sin."

Prayer for peace
 
                    Guns and bombs block out
                    the cries for peace.
                    New graves with white crosses
                    for brave men and woman. 
                    Small USA flags blowing
                    in the gentle wind.


                     Woman and children killed in the 
                     way of war.
                     Just more numbers in a book
                     of people killed for the profit of War.


                      I pray for peace.
                      I pray for the family of soldiers.
                      I pray for the poor people in 
                      the path of the guns and violence.


                      I pray to the Spirit of life and death.
                      Give wisdom and common sense to our leaders.


                       I pray for peace.
                       So maybe one day my children. All children.
 

                       Can awake  one day in a peaceful world.
                               Without fear.
         

      Coyote 




                    

                        I will return my love



Don't forget me my love.
I'm leaving for far away Wars.



The cruel wars are being fought.
Soldiers don't decide the right or wrong.


I will leave you in our warm bed.
I don't desire you and the children to wait for
me to depart outside the Company area.


I want to remember my arms around you.
The feel of your warm body against me.
Your sweet and warm kisses.


I made the decision to be a Soldier.
I'm proud of my country, like my Father.
I will stand tall and do what a Soldier's must.


I will kiss my babies goodbye.
You walked behind in silence.
I whisper to sleepy eyes girls.
I love you with all my heart.
They give me sweet kisses without knowing why?


They do not know I will be gone for a long time.
I asked my sad eyes wife.
Take the girls to the park often.
Tells them their Father loved them very much.


I will pray everyday to come home.
To be able to read stories to my girls.
To fall into my beautiful wife arms again.


Soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder in the formation.
No fear.
Gear ups.
No fear of tomorrow.


Young woman alone in her bed.
She pray Lord take care of him and all soldiers.
Please bring him home safely.
Soft tears falls upon a soft pillow.


She get up and lays with her two girls.

Coyote, this for me is a bittersweet write - I loved them both, they hold so much emotion. It's hard when you have a family and you fight in the war. War poems really hold a place in my heart, they make me cry and the ones I've read (in school) have literally stuck in my head; these poems are up there with poets like Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen etc...

Amazing.

[Coyote Poetry]

The World War one Poets poetry were powerful and the sad part. So many wars and we have learn nothing. I have the collection of poetry of the the writers lost to war. Their words burn strong still.

It would not be a good thing for me to add my two cents on this one !
No Sir ! Not Good ! We have enough Volcano's erupting as it is.

Should of never happened! None of it !

One of the things in life I dream before is I want to be a soldier pilot, in the air force. But that didn't happen, Perhaps I fear war so much that my courageous self cower in the covers of practicality. I dislike war, but I do believe it’s the way of life in the too cruel and insane world. Yet I am hoping for that someday to have the peace my heart and many people are looking for. Maybe the utopia of peace will not be so far away. A very Nice piece!

[Coyote Poetry]

I hope for peace also. You would think after a thousand wars. We would be wiser. Thank you for reading and the comment.

It is Sunday morning and yes my darling you have me crying, I adore you, great piece.

[Coyote Poetry]

Old memories. Deploying was always hard. The good part I returned safe and sound to my family. Many did not. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Your welcome, and so right.

[Dhaye]

Again, the story of life in the middle of war. Love becomes stronger in times of distress. Hope and trust are the keys to keep calm whenever the two are apart...

Nice piece. Keep writing.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Dhaye for your kind words. War leave many people with sadness and heartbreak.

[Dhaye]

You're welcome.

[MsJewel]

You have touched my heart with the beauty and sadness of your words... I can't imagine what it would be like to have someone I love leave for war. My father fought in WWII and although he was quite proud of defending his country, he refused to speak of it and always said he would not wish his experiences on anyone.

I join you in prayers for peace.

A lot of Soldiers wife and kids would come to the deployment location. It was too sad for me. I didn't want my kids to watch me load up on buses or our equipment. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[MsJewel]

You are very welcome.

I think we once fought wars to preserve our freedom, but that hasn't been true for a very long time. I wish our leaders, and those of other countries, would see what they are doing to their people but I don't think there are many of them who really care about us or the fact they are traumatizing their people by sending our young ones off to die or be maimed in body and in spirit. I am proud of my country, of the soldiers who give and gave so much, and proud of our people but totally ashamed of the leadership we have.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree Mark. These leaders have took us to a bad place. We need to change our ways. Our poor children will pay for our mistakes. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Ophelia]

I really love guns episode

[Ruth]

This is deeply emotive, both from the perspective of the soldier/s and the ones back home and also the ones affected in the process of war...stunning emotion, as always hon x

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. Old world going mad. Killing Christians in Asia and Africa. I pray for common sense before we begin the last war.

[Ruth]

Me too love, me too! And you are welcome x
