The wall

My Soldier

Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam, why you do what you do , you took my precious wife to a land so strewn you've taken her so far, so far away from home, so far away that we both feel alone, you took her away to a land filled with hate not just the enemy but...

You used to.

When the lights go out, what do you see? a blank silhouette? or a vision of me? you said you loved me, you said you cared, and all of a sudden, you disappeared, out of the shadows , out of the lights. The dark creepy air, as you sit there and look,...

Her......She.

She's the one I think of everyday, sometimes in my thoughts because she's so far away.
Miles and miles, thousands of miles apart, the day she left was the day I fell apart ,never knowing what would happen, never knowing what could be, even on...

A message from his daddy.

A little boy walked up to his dad one morning and asked, " Daddy what is love? " And the father said Well son, love is a feeling between two people that can't live without each other, when those two people think about each other when they're not...

My Darkened thoughts

My darkened nights and my unthoughtful dreams
And your not here to comfort me
No one truly knows or understands

 you hold my heart in the palm of your hands but most of all you own my love.

 Inside these walls is dragging on time,

 Not being...

My Army Boo

You’re the right in my life
That removes every wrong;
You’re the power in my life
That makes everything strong;
You’re the remedy of my life
That cures every illness;
You’re the calm in life
That diffuses all my stress;
You’ve always...

Day one is a night so cold, so cold you can feel your lungs start to freeze with every breath You take in. Day one is a night so dark you can't even see your hand in front of your face, day one so dark so cold but so hot from hell, from life, from...

Strike 3

Life before ,what do I adore, the sunny afternoon looking out this shade door, not knowing what's next ,what will it be, a feeble life, or failure like me , what do I do, when I look at the light, I hope it's the end, I hope it's all right, for...

The Drop of Blood turns black

Roses are red just as blood before it dries black, just as it did, from the knife in my back. The wound, so deep it penetrates my heart, just as it does when we're so far apart. The blood runs down and turns the stem black but , nevertheless the...
