Writing "Mine and Mine Alone" [PG-V] [Implied death]

[Chaos]

This is based off yet another story I read. I know it's a little campy, but I think it does justice. Eh. Read it. You might like it [but probably not].



[size=1][u][b]Mine and Mine Alone[/b][/u]



You are mine.
And Mine alone.

I trekked the world for you.
I passed the skies for you.
I walked the soil raw for you.

Because you are mine.
And Mine alone.

Many fought for you.
But did not know you.
Yet they fought for you.

And You are mine.
And Mine alone.


I will fight for you.
I will kill for you.
I will live for you.

Because you are mine.
And Mine alone.


Blackened air
and wild despair

will not keep me from you.

Strewn and sharp barbs
buried in olive green garbs

are what I face for you.

Evils of the world
come down from yonder high

to duel those that would do and die.

Keep me close
and warm me tight

I will struggle through spite.

They will claim me
with a cast-iron ball

And I will not see you grow tall.


Red-hot blaze.
Shellshock daze.
Frenzied haze.

The pin shrill
Scraping the metal grille
Gunpowder no longer fill
But instead make it all still.


But you were mine.
And Mine alone.[/size]

[FONT=Arial Narrow]Holy! Hold just a moment while I try to gather myself again *silence for a good couple of minutes* Wow. That was, unbelievable. You said a story brought it about? What story would that be because it sounds marvelous if it can produce such a poem. And I'm not trying to be overly flattering here, simply stating how I feel and I loved this. The obession that brought death in the end. Now I'm ashamed to show any of my work on here :animenose .[/FONT]

This stems from one of Tim O'Brien's works where he related his experiences in war to his daughter. I think it was "Ambush," but I'm having a hard time remembering. How I got this from a story about a man's regret for killing someone I'm not even sure [i]I[/i] know.

I'd like to thank your interest in the piece, but at the same time you shouldn't ever be scared to put your own work up. If you have something to express, then don't hesitate to do so.

[FONT=Arial Narrow]I have put one poem up in here yesterday actually, titled "Stay Away", but it doesn't compare to this and no one has commented on it either for that matter. Ah well I suppose. Thank you for the encouragement though. Hope to see more of your work too. I shall be a devoted fan :bow:[/FONT]
