parachute (zak.b)

i wrote this on a whim just wanted some thoughts so would apreciate your views. its a poem telling the story of a parachute reg. soldier in world war 2. he writes about flying to war but returning home only to go  back to his fight from the sky. the font i hope gives the idea of a telegram almost dunno? lol

time to kill
time to die
time to watch it fly.
throught all the haze and dreary nights,
to a time of peace and lustful delight.
anticipating heavy fights,
levels out to clear planes where
she waits for me to come,
to calm and delicate delight we strive,
no time can pass in the place we reside,
but as i'm here i may aswell wait
'till back again i can fly.

don't think I have read such a poem before so I guess an A+ for originality. Makes me think of the adrenaline build up before flight and whether you take chance and jump? Life and death with adrenaline and view....thought provoking. :p
