battle cry

battle cry

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

battle cry


an arsenal of words
a barrage of love poems
all the syllabic ammunition at my disposal

a hand grenade heart
exploding in your direction

yet,
you didn't hear a thing
you didn't feel a thing

my war was over before it started
my retreat
an anomaly

hiding in the brush
of blush.

Oh sweet
When love becomes this irresistible force
if only its seen
and heard
