I Am Just A Soldier.

Here's another poem.

Please don't forget me darling, I'm so far away from you,
I'm here in the desert, fighting for what I feel is right,
No matter where I am, no matter how far apart we are,
You haunt me in these nightmares, that pollute my mind at night.

So as I stand here, on the edge of an abyss,
I wait to hear your voice, it frees me from this hell that I... am living in.
And although, you cannot hear me cry, I weep for you,
I cry these tears of sorrow, for the love that I have lost,

I feel as though you've left me, and that I'm all alone,
Deserted and lonely, in this Godforsaken country,
As the fighting rages on, I cover my head and cry,
Wishing that I could be, in your arms tonight.

The battle rages on, bullets flying all around, the **** has really hit the fan,
And we're all going down... at last I find the courage, to peek out from the hole.
What I see, paralyses me with fear, I'm the last one left. This is the end.
I gather up my gun and ask the Lord for forgiveness, for the sins I have committed.
I'm sorry for having killed thee, or for causing thee offence.
I was just doing my job, for the country that I love.

I am just a soldier.
Who would do it all again.​
 
WOW Hawky, you really need to get your poems published. You have an amazing talent, don't waste it.

Absolutely brilliant.
 
I am planning to, but I don't know how to go about creating a portfolio, or how to go about getting it published. :(

Thanks for taking the time to read it, though. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
 
Look up in your yellow pages for "Literary agents" and maybe give them a phone call. They will obviously want a sample of your work neatly typed out.

Go for it mate, you've got a brilliant talent.
