BATTLEFIELD BLOG

The hurling battles of the Somme (Poetry)

Hordes of storm and splitting steel
the morbid pools of bones and blood
the hallucinant sight of skin on the trees
like drying laundry of an absence god
In the smoke, mud and fire
plays the macabre scene of death
Bodies decorated with barbwire
​parts of thousands that lay spread
Like pieces on a scattered chessboard
but no kings or queens to be seen
Justitia ripped from her scale and sword
​the perfection of a war machine
Hear the dark unfinished symphony of death
the devil's orchestra has just begon
Machine gun crescendos and burning led
The hurling battles of the Somme
Tom Bruelemans - Battlefield Photography

    Battlefield Photography

    Visiting the former battlefields for the last 20 years, Tom was always attracted to the stories behind them and the men who fought and died there. He decided to combine his love for war history with the other things he likes, such as photography and writing. Together with his wife Sarah he founded "Battlefield Photography".
