Broken I lay on the hospital bed
My brothers around me
We’ve shed blood together
for our motherland
Some with broken ribs
and legs, others with broken hands
Doctors, nurses
rushing all around
Sub-conscious me on
the bed I am bound
Numbness all over, or
is it the pain
When would I get up
and fight those enemies again
Hands over me I can
feel
Moved from bed,
stretchers they reel
Masked I lay
Oblivion, it seems so
grey
Sun rays in my eyes, it
seems
To open them, some
struggle I have to deal
Covered in bandages
Have I slept since
ages?
Dressed in white,
My condition to
doctor she recites
Routine it becomes
Every day for nursing
me she goes and comes
My brokenness
recuperates
Warmth for her within
me enumerates
Though coldness in
her eyes at times I see
Whenever the wound on
my head she comes to clean
Slowly I rise on my
feet again
My lost confidence I
seem to gain
Small walks around
the hospital I take
Hearing her giggle,
my legs give themselves a break
Somebody says, Bed
no. 35 is hot, isn’t he?
Oh, well I think
that’s me!!
Curious, I am all
ears
Hearing her, my heart
almost tears
Oh, not at all
I hate that unclean stubble of his
So her coldness is now
not anymore a suspense
Ah, my beard, it had
become so dense
Routinely, she comes
to check me
Surprise in her eyes
I can see
My clean shaven look
bowled her over
Affection in her
hands, now she showers
Her fingers on my
chin feel so soft
My spirit instantly
now aloft
Sparks all-around of
our Chemistry
Seems, this Soldier’s hospital love story is going down in history ;) ;)
