A few days ago I was in a writing mood and here's what I came up with. I hope that you like them!
Feelings of Flame
She gazed at the flickering flame of the only candle that lit the room. To any one else this little flame would have brought a feeling of warmth and comfort; but to she that looked on it now, the feeling was that of a cold abhorrence. Nothing could be more natural than for her to loathe the cause of her husband’s death. A bride so soon widowed by fire. She remembered his last words to her; and how she gazed into his brilliant blue eyes as he said them. But now she gazed at a cold light in a dark world.
Nazi Soldiers
A prison of a different kind:
A lie, these human souls to bind.
Where is the laughing face of him once known?
That happy face, now turned to stone
Disguised along with countless others
Fathers, uncles, cousins, brothers.
Once loving beings,
Now lacking of feelings.
Killing, taking,
Weapon making.
Oh, pray for these broken men, you left
That the devil would not succeed in his theft.
There is hope for these stones
These uniformed stones
And alone it lies in our God and Lord
