Solomon's poetry thread

Recommended Posts

Learning to forget

 

 

 

German, I never learnt at school,

French and Spanish was the rule

perhaps the war still fresh in our mind

gave to us a distaste which combined

with paying the cost

of young lives lost

and left within

a kind of sin

a sense of wrong

left on the tongue

a sour taste, in the face

of the human race.

Dream Peace

Biased towards peace, who, me?

When the real world around is full of misery.

Of conflict,killings, war and strife.

Yes, I say, war is death - and peace is life

 

Our struggle for Peace we humans are going through,

while constant evolution is shaping you.....and you.

Cos you see that, half the world is overcome.

The other half are deaf and dumb.

 

You can call Peace a dream. A piece of "pie in the sky".

I say,"while we live and dream again......we will not die".

When conflict and wars end...PEACE breaks out.

Death is something, that I can live without.

 

The one thing we're all waiting for,

is peace on earth, an end to war.

Biased towards peace. Who. Me?

Yes.! Before, during and after, world war three.

 

 

From SS 15th August 2008.

This is a poem that I sent in to the Dec competition

 

 

The 11 o’clock call

 

 

One Christmas Eve as I recall

I met a man I didn’t know at all

A knock on the door the dream carries on

everyone’s fantasies rolled into one.

We both set aside our separate lives

And for a few hours were mesmerised

 

Both of us knew it could not last

Both enjoying the time that passed

A few brief moments out of time

Stay in my memory-- is it just mine ?

Whether he thinks of it the same

Or perhaps to him it was only a game

 

The 11 o’clock call is all that is left

of moments of pleasure--leaving both bereft.
