THE BATTLEFIELD

Battles fought, wars raged
All the time hearts caged
Friendly faces nowhere seen
Seems that's where I've always been

Pin-prick pain of one harsh word
More damage does than limbs disturbed
Though the pain seems not quite real
Inner scars that never heal

When one loves is love not true
How, then, can I help love you?
Your vow to never let the friendship end
From one to another dearly loved friend

I owe so much to you, you see
For when you loved you set me free
Now your heart towards me revealed
I lie, struck down, on this battlefield

  You pull it out, then wipe its blade on the grass.

life is the battlefield
we all collide
tooth and nail we fight
day to night
blood is spilt
on sacred soil
we all are doomed to fall

Vanguard of the New Movement

Behind his polished cedar desk,
surrounded by his phones,
Sits Blazer Dyke(The yachting type),
The vanguard of the clones.
The Archetype,
The number one,The vanguard of the clones.

Crossing over busy street,
where noisy traffic drones,
Walks Blazer Dyke (without a bike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The autocrat,
The ectomorph,
The vanguard of the clones.

He strides across the cobbled yard,
Where pawn shops offer loans,
That Blazer Dyke (Whom i dislike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The cannibal,
The parasite,
The vanguard of the clones.

He passes through the wicket gate,
To churhyards full of bones,
That Blazer Dyke (on a midnight hike),
The vanguard of the clones.
The necrophile,
The narcissist,
The coprophage,
The sybarite,
The telepath,
The Anti-Christ,
The vanguard of the clones.

yes life is a battle field, but no weapon hurts as much as a slice from a loved one, it can take your heart out of your body and you can still live with what's left, not much of a life.
god this one hurts.
Joel

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
