Poems of A Forgotten Soldier

The old mans writings 

love poems, sonnets, and of other forgotten things. 

Read by many, 

understood by a mere few, though none of them's read 

by you. 

Misplaced affection 

having lost it's direction, 

now faceless with time. 

The sound of a voice 

giving no choice, 

but they're not the words, 

that I, long to hear. 

Kisses sweeter than wine, forgotten with time, 

softer than a faeries touch. 

The emptiness I suffer 

through the lack of caress, 

upon your silky soft skin.

Memories and moments 

where a floundering fool, 

let his love slip away. Remembering the poetry 

she brought into his life, 

the glow it brought his heart, 

and it's grief.

Just know, 

they are always written 

from the heart, 

but not all are written 

in the mud, and ....

initialled by death.
