War is a Broken Heart

Sweet humming, these smiles serene
Like waters cascading in your eyes so green
A bell tolls in hopeful wishes
On verdant Irish Earth that glimmers and glistens

Echoes of lust splatter and ring
A longing that burns with fiery sting
Their arms not as long as mine
Dreaming armies of love, I should have entwined

An accord of peace I yearn to find
With you, my lover, a heart once aligned
We said pain, a feeling without name
But we tried to bear the weight of its shame

Now I know war is a heart that bleeds
Never ceasing, it plants its seeds
Until you remember the love we shared
Once intertwined, our hearts once paired.
