Labyrinth of the Mind

Far Away Boys

Posted in Poetry
Inspired by the song Far Away Boys by Flogging Molly

Far Away Boys

He remembers a pair of eyes
green as the Emerald Isle,
her smile, morning sunshine
sweet gentle warmth,

as they fade away
into the dust and dirt,
the vast land of endless
beige sand and a sun
that was not a lover nor a friend.

Far away boys
Far away boys


In a stolen scrap of shade
he will drift away
to the taste of her lips,
never to forget her
precious scent

but awakened to gun smoke
and only blood upon
cracked lips which haven't
been touched in longer
then he can recall.

Far away boys
Far away boys


The seasons pass unnoticed here
as they tell him when Summer
slid into Winter and Spring
waits upon the crest,
but instead of life he finds
only more death and a growing
will to die.

Beneath the heart and
relentless pain, again
he'll close his eyes
to slip away into her
waiting arms, and there
she glows an angle to
set him free.

Far away boys
Far away boys


He knows this vision
of her face is the last
he'll ever see as her
image disappears into sand

"I'll see you in Hell boys"

the last words he ever hears
and he will die within her arms
to whisper sweet good-bye
upon the burning winds,
he won't come home again.

Far
away
boys

far away.......
