Disclaimer: I do not own the following poems below. They belong to Cocoa
and Firefly Fairy, respectively.

In times of darkness, observe what is bright
When all seems lost, in your own right
Discover the love, and with noble might
Overcome troubles, and vanquish the night.

Wherever blood is spilt and death ensues
Wherever hate grows and all consumes
Love will prosper, thrive and grow
To banish the evil back below.
-- From Love and War by Cocoa

I watch as bombs hit the ground,
To my left,
To my right.
I look around for my love,
For he is fighting,
In this war.
I walk along the injured,
But don't see him,
And the hope inside me brightens.
He is alive,
And well,
I think.
But I am wrong,
Deadly wrong,
For I see him laying there right in front of me.
I run to him,
And touch his pale face,
And cold lips.
Tears fall down my cheeks,
As I see he is no longer with me,
And in another world without me.
I cry for him,
For our love,
And for the war.
Who ever said all is fair in love and war,
Has never experienced love and war,
For love and war are never fair.
-- From Love and War by Firefly Fairy
