The Lovers And The Snipers

T is for
The Lovers And The Sniper
-------------------------------
Did he ever walk a sweetheart
In the mid-day sunshine?
There love was fresh, it flowed
To the brim
It surpassed the barrier in potency
And bound a Muslim and a Serb
But now it has ended
Callously shot in the clench
Of a sniper,s hand
They lie in no-one,s land
Did he ever feel the warmth of another
In the chilly nip of morning
Did he ever sit up all night
Just to share the dawning
Did he ever give his coat to her
And shiver in the snow
Now they are entwined
In an eternal embrace
Another notch on his gun
They never saw his face;
