[bodytext] =>
Reaper of love you have my soul
You’ve got my heart with in control
Slice me deep with hurt so clear
Cut my heart to make things sheer
Reaper of death in black so bright
You’ve blinded my sight as I’ve come to life
Love is the future
With death in my sight
Lust in my heart
With pain in my life
Reaper of death your in my sights
But why squeeze the trigger I want to die
To feel your touch so cold and true
As you reach for my heart and I give it to you
Grim is my death for I’m grim to the end
With a love for this hate that comes from with in
A Grim Reapers death is a death of gold
Release my pain for my hearts turned cold

| I enjoyed your poem. like the flow . I have a brother that is in iraq today . fourth time going over since the war began. He would tell you that he joined because he wanted to and he reinlisted because he desired to do so. so that is his job. If there were men over there that was called up. then I would feel sorry for them. but the ones that joined new a war would be a probablity. right.. good write. |

You sound like a man who is giving up on the situation he is in. Like many who do not believe they are not coming back to the states. I know how you feel i too was a sodier. Your write is an inspiration to those here who know that you fight for us. You will come home soon. I can not wait until you do then you can write about love and faith again and not death and destruction.

"Khazad-dum", thanks Archie.
Actually, I would want a soldier to tell it like it is - I don't want anything vague and abstract about 'grim reapers' and 'reach for heart' and the possibility of a future; more about the everyday realities of our Iraqi Occupation :-
Why travel outside the Green Zone is a Journey Into Death; more about sadistic extremism in the eyes of the allies; in the trigger-fingers of the instruments of our wayward governments; how it truly feels to bare one's teeth in hot-blooded, machine-gun murder; taking suicidal orders; being mindlessly brave, or mindlessly foolish; cultural clashes; driving a tank; blood on the streets; suicide bombers; death from above 1979; Civil War . . . etc.
You're a soldier, ffs.
Make yourself stand out here . . . |

Hey there,
First I wish you to survive.
Second, from my own experience, writng is a great way to switch off your mind when you are in trenches.
Nice and tragic writing,
Be well,
Alex |

| When you think positively good things will happen to you . My husband will shortly go to Iraq and his take on things are like this.... If I die that was God's plan but that's not going to happen, I'm coming home. Good luck, thank you for your services. |
