Ever Wondered In Paschendale?
By outlaw-2
Ever wondered why; debris looks this appealing
Ever wondered how; this devastation occurred?
Ever wondered when; you wanted to try making a difference?
Ever wondered where; I swore you could make it out alive?
A brave new world; population by millions wiped out,
A reality; no one could ever think of,
Stupidity; I thought I was one,
Yet wiser; I knew I was learning the truth.
Strange gas; yellow in colour,
Toxic, fatal; dangerous, murderous,
A trench; we scrambled,
But selfishness; we shoved our comrades into the cloud of
death.
Screaming, wailing; we ignore, we wrench our fragile hearts,
Water mud; the instant killer,
One would step into; and disappear into the hellish abyss,
No cry, no pain; perfect for suicide.
A stalemate; we knew this was hopeless,
Many lives come and gone; we could no longer bear,
We raced, we risked; raiding the Allied troops,
They ran, they scamper; they were outnumbered.
One by one; men of fifty fell to ten,
God damned water mud; the double edged natures weapon,
We ignore; we fought,
Bullets driven into our bodies; we collapse, we lay still.
From then onwards; we realized the stupidity of war,
Nothing was achieved; only lives were lost,
A brave new world?
Ever wondered the term Meaningless War?

Home
By oceanic
Lead me to a place I can call Home
For I am constantly away from my comfort zone
Places Ive traveled
Countless and indescribable
London was my frequent destination
English tea and famous Fish and Chips
London Eye and The Big Ben
Famous tourists most sought after places
Far away from Home
Sometimes, the tears still flows
Alone in a foreign world
Loneliness was my companion
Enjoying peace away from Home
An escape from endless problems unsolved
Time spent in the hotel room
A sense of Independence unfold
Going back Home
Makes me treasure life and my love ones more
Going back to a place you can call Home
Thats really what matters most.

Oh girl, would you be...
By binarynwitz
If only I could string a beautiful melody,
Like the sunflower you love dearly,
I would varnish it with the morning dew, and my love.
Your eyes like lustrous pearls,
I find myself mesmerised within,
Its beauty I simply can't resist.
If only I could be a fairy-tale's prince ,
In the field full of dahlias- the Aurora's Kiss,
You'd be the princess, the one I want to kiss.
Oh girl, the one so lovely!
Would you be my princess,
While I be your prince?

Who?
By ChingAlvin
Contemplative, forlorn, my naked mind,
Phony front, deception, even oneself,
As mesmerizing roses, drawing minds,
Gorgeous deception, dwelling thorns reside.
Chameleon, environs alteration,
Oneself, situation alteration,
Changes when changes occur,
Traits within traits concurred.
Persona, creation, a play,
Situations, a set, the men,
Scenes change, along I play,
Elements, creations, in hand
Who am I, Im just a coy!
Dummies fit, for different plays.
