Radiant are the words 
that painted your existance
Shinning are the details
swept with lyrical rhymes

in heart shapes and designs
A glowing presence expressing love
made of it's own light
Hopes that peddle effortlessly
that never wains or tires
Happy and...

Morning glowed, Phillip.
A purple fire burned beacon bright
against the stinging stench of napalm.

A thick thistle - two feet from your head,
wordless in speech, watched 
with dark misfortune
curving letters of prayer 
above your bleeding valor.

A crumpled martyr lying there,
innocent as a schoolboy
amidst the blare of gunfire...

I remember the night
some time ago 
that we were happy
my brother was coming home

I remember that he said 
that he'll be back some day
well that day has came
and I can no longer wait. 

but I had to wait
he didn't show
only the men
who were below

they said...

Once in a while

I rest my hand 
over my chest 
over my heart ~ BAA DoooM BAA DoooM BAA DoooM

Lace of dreams - long time gone -
Embraces waist of maiden
An off- white whisper's subtle tone
Drops shyly pearls from Heaven

Breeze flutters holographic Me
My wounded captain has returned
I feel like floating rainbow glee
His eyes are red and face is stern

He drops his gear and runs through...

"Purple Heart"



We are watched
surrounded by 
a great cloud 
of witnesses
the race marked
out for us
our days 
we count 
as numbers 
hidden within 
our flimsy armour
our transgressions
softened peccadilloes
we are ignorant
of most wisdom 
it is unseen, 
we continue to read
the words, somewhere,
the end chapter 
keeps us guessing

I was a young man at the age of nineteen
When I was sent to a country on the other side of the world that I had never seen. 


I was trained as an infantry soldier
With an M-16 rifle on my back;
And given an M-79 grenade...
