Mommy Why Does My Country Bleed

My daughter asked me today 
Why did my daddy go away
I had to hold my tears 
It was hard to see that my husband had missed so many years
His little girl was now in front of me asking for her dad
God help me what can I say that won’t make her mad
Your daddy had to go be a superhero like on tv
That’s why he’s not here with you or me
He is out fighting the evil forces that would try to hurt us
Don’t worry he will be back soon in that you can thrust
Mommy you sound like what my teacher in school said to me
She said America is the land of thrust and home of the free
I hugged my little girl and off to eat dinner we went
I was hoping that her moment was over and she had nothing left to vent
But once more she turned to me and ask
Mommy why does everybody look so sad
I saw on TV all the people began to bleed
I stop and said hunnie what do you mean
She said their eyes are bleeding 
As I turned to look at what she was seeing
I realized my daughter was referring to tears
Is this what you mean hunnie is this part of your fears
Yes mommy their eyes all bleed
At that moment I realized what America had us see
My daughter thought tears were blood and that scares me
She sees everyone cry over the lost souls of this war
I cannot believe this country has taken it this far
Mommy the kids in school say that’s where daddy was seen
Mommy I don’t want to be part of the people in the country that bleeds

Shout

I am alone in a room full of strangers

I have a fear of impending danger

But the funny part becomes that they don’t see me

They are partying and carrying on wild and free

I scream once and then again

Nothing no moment not even a friend

I scream more through the halls

But no return just my empty call

Suddenly a man with a cloth appears in front

He says you will fade away for you they won’t hunt

I fall to the ground crying please no

He just laughs in my face because he already knows

No they will not forget me I will continue to shout

My screams will go on till someone reaches out

So again I shout hear me see me people please look

But nothing I was the fish writhing on the hook

I tried to run

Hoping my impending doom would not come

I ran down a hall of mirrors and fright filled my eyes

I was slowly disappearing the man had told no lie

I cried and cried while he laughed

His vicarious laugh was making me mad

I scream no go away

And soon as I did that the whole room began to fade

I awoke and realized my eyes had been deceived

All this had been a bad nightmare I cant believe

I called everyone I know to see if they could hear

They found me crazy carrying on about this fear

I can hear you what do you mean

I smiled and laugh dear god thank you it was only a dream

Poetic Mistress

The intoxicating feeling it provides

The allure of the first write

How can it be

I have found such passion and heat

It calls to me from inside

Hits that spot that makes my blushing face hide

Wow the intensity is almost too much to bare

It pulls me from reality and takes away my air

This secret romance is so exotic

I find myself aroused it’s erotic

It provides me with ecstasy beyond compare

This dirty little secret I’m afraid to share

But shame and discretion fly away

As I spend my time in poetry’s daze

I have to be consumed by it no more hiding

This is it poetry left me on the floor riving

After the sweet orgasm of my poetic ink’s release

I lay there knowing we are in sync

I have no words left to say

Poetry has become my mistress and I’m it’s slave

Toy Soldiers

Here the wooden soldiers were to stand

They waited for their command

Although they were not real 

They spoke and thought as if they could feel

I wonder where our general is I wonder where he’s gone

We need a leader who is brave powerful and strong

Without him we are just wooden and must stand still

No general to call us and have us do his will

Their eyes began to brighten as in walked their leader

Though something was wrong with him they wondered why

Why does our leader fall to the ground and cry

The young boy stood and walked to his army which he could command

The one place he felt safe where no one would lift their hands

To his soldiers he started to say

Help me destroy him take him away

My Wooden soldiers you will protect your general until he mends

To battle we will go and fight until the end

The soldiers knew what was wrong with their leader now

The pain that was inflicted on him revenge they vowed

We will not let you down our general we will comply

All of us will protect you and we understand why

That scary monster that hurts you him we do not fear

We know he has been attacking you throughout the years

He lined up his soldiers and prepared for the final fight

The monster that haunts you will perish tonight

The soldiers were prepared and set-up by their rank

Suddenly in walked the monster and to his knees he sank

The soldiers saw as the monster came inside

To their surprise he had their leader’s eyes

Away went their general with fear and tears

The monster that hurt him was finally here

No more screams were heard as the boy was taken away 

In a dark room quiet the wooden soldiers lay

A child’s imagination was broken that night

All because he was too young to fight

Had his neighbors spoken when they heard his cries

That innocent young boy might still be alive

In the Back of the Room

Here I am no one knows 
I sit in the quiet like I'm all alone
Never raising my hand never being heard
Daydreaming of a way to escape without a word
The people around are unaware of my existence
They go on with their class not knowing of my persistence 
My wanting to belong
These feelings have become strong
But I’m almost reminded that I cannot be them
No matter how hard I try I can’t pretend
Pretend to have a voice and that my words should be used to heal and mend
So I’m keeping this refrain short and quiet
I wish I could cause more of a riot
I guess have to settle for now than soon
I will remain the girl in the back of the room

The Moon and the Star

There was once a star who had no home

Though she was in the sky with other stars she felt all alone

She was different from them her light was not so bright

The other stars cast her out she was scared to fight

To make them see she belonged in their sky

That’s why she was up so high

She was special like them why can’t they see

That inside of her was a strong aura yearning to be free

But the more she tried the father away they stayed

The star ran out of ideas and gave up there was no winning this game

She was different and there was nothing more she could do

She decided she would do them a favor this she would see through

Go into supernova and be gone from that lonely place

Nothing would be left not even a trace

As she got far enough so not to hurt the others something flew by

A moon so far out here was a sight for soar eyes

She approached it and asked why he was here

The other moons hate me because I’m smaller they made that clear

So I ran over here to escape

I feel so alone and then moon drops feel from him like a lake

The star felt sad for the moon so she went in for a hug

As soon as she came close she lit up and felt a rush of love

The star had never felt this before

Something powerful had began to occur like a storm

You did it she said to the moon I’m brighter then I can be

As she turned to the moon she saw he was smiling like a beautiful dream

I’m not small any more I can’t believe this is happening

The moon and star had made each other strong they were now laughing

From that day they never left each other’s side

There was no need to run and hide

Sometimes in life it takes another to make you see

And together they can bring out each other’s best qualities
