Love and war

Amidst the thundering guns and mortar shells,
A lone soldier stands at the border's edge,
With a heart full of love that constantly swells,
For his beloved waiting across the hedge.

He dreams of her smile and her gentle touch,
In the midst of a war that never seems to cease,
A distant memory that he misses so much,
In a land that's harsh and never at peace.

But even in the midst of all this chaos and strife,
His love remains as strong as ever before,
For the thought of her keeps him going in life,
And his heart remains steadfast, always wanting more.

He yearns to return to her arms once again,
And hold her close like he did before he left,
But until then, he'll continue to endure the pain,
And fight for his country with all his strength and breadth.

For he knows that his love is what keeps him alive,
And even in the face of death, he'll never give in,
Because he knows that his love will always survive,
And he'll return to her, victorious, with a grin.

So let the guns continue to boom and roar,
For the love in his heart will never fade,
And he'll fight for his love, his country, and more,
Until peace reigns supreme, and the war is no longer waged.

Behind cold, metal bars, a soldier lies,
A prisoner of war with unending sighs,
But even in captivity, his love still thrives,
For the one waiting for him, who gives him drive.

He remembers her smile, her laughter, her grace,
And even in this prison, he still sees her face,
His love for her is a never-ending race,
A light that shines in this dark and lonely place.

He dreams of the day when he'll be free,
And return to the one he loves, his heart's key,
For her love is his anchor in this endless sea,
A beacon of hope that sets his spirit free.

The days may be long, the nights may be cold,
But his love for her will never grow old,
Even in this prison, his love will never fold,
For his heart is hers, a love story untold.

So he holds onto her memory, her love,
And hopes that soon, he'll be free as a dove,
To return to her, and start a new chapter above,
A love that will conquer all, a love that will never be shoved.

For even in prison, his love is strong,
And he'll keep holding on, all along,
To the one who makes his heart sing a song,
A love that will endure, forever long.

After endless days of waiting and despair,
The soldier finally steps out into the fresh air,
His heart beating fast, and his soul laid bare,
For the one waiting for him, the one he loves with care.

He walks the streets with a newfound grace,
A free man now, with a smile on his face,
For he knows that soon, he'll be in her embrace,
And their love will once again find its place.

As he approaches her door, his heart skips a beat,
For the thought of her, his love, makes him complete,
He takes a deep breath, and he feels the heat,
As he knocks on the door, his love to meet.

And there she is, his love, standing before him,
With tears in her eyes, and a heart full of vim,
She runs to him, and he feels her skin,
Their love rekindled, a love that will never dim.

They hold each other tight, in a loving embrace,
The years apart, now gone without a trace,
Their love remains, a never-ending race,
A love that defies time and space.

For even in the darkest of days and nights,
Their love remained, a beacon of light,
And now they're together, it feels so right,
Their love, a flame, that forever ignites.

So they walk hand in hand, under the sun,
Two hearts that beat as one, forever undone,
Their love, a story that's only just begun,
A love that will last, until the world is done.
