To the memory of fallen soldiers and the brides and children they leave behind...


The Death of Prince Charming


 

 

Alone on the hill by the shade of an oak

Alone on a hill she cries for him still

Alone on a hill where the granites stand guard

Alone on a hill she cries for him still

 

In the days of their youth she was his princess to be

And he her prince charming the whole world could see

Quaint village church among the flowers of spring

They vowed true love forever as he slid on her gold ring

 

He worked on the land as his father had done

Each night they made love watching the setting sun

She dreamed of children someday of their own

No thoughts of despair or fear of being alone

 

Then the news hit the headlines that the devil had rose

Across all of Europe his evil quickly grows

The Prince looks at the tears of his Princess who tries to be brave

I’will be back before you know it and democracy we will save

 

The black news came in a letter followed by folded flag

They say he died like a hero of his deeds you can brag

But she could not care less for her Prince Charming was dead

He never no more would share their lovers bed

 

No children would laugh in their house on the farm

No old age together safe and warm from all harm

Empty rooms and old memories, and dreams unfulfilled

It mattered no more since her Prince had been killed

 

Alone on the hill by the shade of an oak

They buried his body, but left his memory behind

Alone on the hill, she cries for him still

The love of her lifetime no other she will find

a powerful reason why war is such a waste ... it seems like our world is a constant war with fleeting moments of peace ... it seems to maintain our freedom we must constantly be at war with ourselves as well as the world ... your poem is extremly moving and well written ...

This is the tragic shame of war, Felix. So many are left behind as the soldier gives all that he has for the right to live, and for his family to live, in freedom. We must all remember, every day, that freedom is not now nor has it ever been free. The price that is paid is the highest there could possibly be. As we awake in the morning and breathe in that first breath of the air of freedom, we should all say a prayer for those who have made it possible. Excellent work, Felix.
Take care,
Sherry

Dear Felix,
A meaningful story told in this haunting poem. This ought to be published. Whenever I watch the news and see those casualties of war I always think of those they leave behind. Each solider killed in the line of duty is somebody's son, somebody's husband and possibly father. One tragic death and so many are affected. It is so sad.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent fellow poet.
Love Chanti

Really sad, but this happens to a lot of young couples during wars.
A great love story that was destroyed by death. Brought a few tears during the reading of it. Karen

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
