Philip Lore Poems

A kiss from a friend,
Means...that they care.
A kiss from your Dad,
It's pretty rare.
...

In my heart...sweet devotion
In my heart...deep emotion
In my heart...lies true bliss
In my heart...your warm, last kiss
...

In a soldier...
Loyalty and strength you see.
In a soldier...
Discipline, bravery.
...

Memories seem to fade,
Memories fading away,
Memories of your love,
Memories of a hug.
...

Early each morning,
After my chores are done,
I saddle my horse,
Ride into the sun.
...

Chocolate bars in my nightly dream,
Fresh strawberries topped with cream,
Thick filet mignon, crisp curly fries,
I lick my lips, my imagination flies.
...

In the days of Olde,
When knights were bold,
We would trek the land,
Mighty swords in hand.
...

My childhood has faded away
In those days I had no bills to pay.
I close my eyes and remember those days.
...

Grimy hands hold my weapon tight,
The sun beats down upon my head,
I whisper a prayer, I'm ready to fight,
I want to rest instead.
...

I was born by the Mississippi River,
Lived in a small, tin, rusty shack.
Made some money choppin' cotton,
The sun beating down on my back.
...

Let me feel your lovin' charms,
I wanna hold you tight in my lovin' arms.
Never, ever gonna let you go,
I'm tellin' you baby... I love you so.
...

Look into my sad green eyes,
Can you see my soul?
Can you see the heavy weight,
The horrors that they hold.
...

Mommy....Daddy,
A young soldier screams out in pain,
Wounded and dying,
Unbearable pain.
...

When I play...my sad guitar,
With powered chords...of deep emotion.
I strum the strings...with such devotion,
When I play...my...sad...guitar.
...

Don't break my heart,
Cause I love you,
We've been so apart,
I send my love so true.
...

Roasted chicken, fried chicken,
Chicken is all we eat!
What's the matter with the Army?
Can't they serve some other meat?
...

Baby, now that I'm leaving,
I'm still believing,
I just can't stop grieving,
Cause, I miss you so.
...

18.

When I see myself,
I wonder if I really exist?
Will I ever feel the same?
When I'm hugged and kissed.
...

Nothings sacred,
There is no glory,
Just daily shock and awe.
No imagination,
...

Is the truth beyond our lies,
Say what you want,
Watch what you say,
For our hidden lies, we must pay.
...

The Best Poem Of Philip Lore

A Kiss

A kiss from a friend,
Means...that they care.
A kiss from your Dad,
It's pretty rare.
A kiss on the cheek at Grandma's house,
A kiss from a wife, a kiss to her spouse.
A kiss from your lover,
Lets passion unwind,
A kiss from Mom, one..of..a..kind.

A kiss from the stars,
Shining above,
A kiss from your daughter,
Showing her love.
A kiss from the sun,
Softly brushes my lips.
A kiss from your fiance,
A kiss won't last for just a day.

A kiss on the doorstep,
A kiss at the train,
A kiss in the moonlight,
A kiss in the rain.

A kiss for your kiss,
A kiss on your lips.
A kiss from far away.
From my bunker, straight to you,
I'm sending one today.

A kiss to bring a welcomed smile,
I'm sending just for you,
A kiss to cheer you up today,
For feeling oh so blue.

Philip is an outstanding poet, one who has gone unnoticed on Poem Hunter. His poetry stands out, He has given his all and so much more for his country. May the good LORD bless him.
