Poems About War Are Cool

A War Against Time Becomes a Crime

Do you hear the children in the streets
Running so carelessly and care-free
As the bombs drop
Like cascades of a waterfall
That we stand beneath

Civilians walk in the streets
Armed to the teeth
While we remain safe
In the arms of each other beneath soft linen sheets

The house rattles
With each new sound of the artillery
But we cannot hear the noises of war
When we are tucked within the embankments
Of a battle only these two souls can win

Love is our peace treaty
Our bodies are the vessels
With which we’ve chosen to fight

The buzz of helicopters is overhead
The bright searchlights flood the cracks in our windows
Blacked-out for a better view of each other’s bodies
The whistle of jets passing
Plays as music to our ears
As our bodies become one, so in snyc
We shall abandon our post
And overcome
As the battle wages on
Cavalry hits the ground, running
With a boot-stomping melody
Our ears cannot deny
But to which we shall not abide
Stay safe
Take cover
In my arms
We shall be freed
Shield your eyes from the shards of glass
As the infantry gets closer to our door
We have been discovered
We assume the position
You in my arms in our sleep-deprived state of mind
