Sound of laughter, ticking clocks
Smell of paint, touch of rocks
danger of liqour, image of death
sense of tears, feeling of wreath
No number to call, no address to send
someone for whom I used to tend
Add the flavour of Shakespeare and drama
mix it with the daily life of family trauma
and blend the subtle idea of sarcasm and humour
let for a minute death be merely a rumour.
Let us sing, play, enjoy, and hold my hand once more
kiss away the tears and let my eyes no longer be sore
The proud soldier rises to say goodbye
and how I wish that death was a lie

Mäktigt. Jag gillade den.
That was really good, love the message and love the language =) mäktigt som sagt
Oi, a new face around here! How nice.
For some reason this poem provokes pictures of Victorian England to me. Do not ask me why. Regardless of my feelings for Victorian England, I like this one; it's a classical motif, and you capture it nicely.
There are some wonderful lines you've got here.
