As wildflowers bloom abundantly, although times may get rough.

wherever we went, we were in their sights.

We cringe with the icy cold
Wind blowing away the foggy cloud,
Drifting off into the tearful sleep
At noon and at night illusions keep,
Hearts wrapped with chimeric dreams.
Decisions glow in the warmest flames
Winding through the fading moonlight.

Silence does a reconnaissance around the room 
betraying not my artillery of thoughts

unfortunate moments
and quick with a
flabbergasted wit

he ambushes me from
the alleys in his mind
from behind
where four strikes
are uncommon
and frequently
commented upon

let's try to ignore the
inane flattery and take
into consideration
three screwdrivers deep
the fantastic premise this

The sky painted in dark misty blue
Heavy hearts, echoes in the dark
Chatters and wails embraces the 
atmosphere
Now we wait, for questions in regards to

Red blood splashes on muddy terrain:
ambushes   booby traps  fatigue jackets
waiting for the enemy... 98 degrees in the sun,

and  war’s  longest refrain plays on.

There is...

I paid solemn visitation to the site
of The Unknown Girlfriend's Tomb
to give honor and pay respects
to romance slain
on the battlefield of love.

I wore no black armband of regret

Le Morne warm wind enfolds me
Voices from the cliffs and the sea.
As it blows the fatal slave stories
Its wavelets bring their real agonies.
Time like the waves come and go
Their ordeals facing the brilliant glow
Are miseries...

For a place of defeat and storage

I will not abandon faith

For a worthless attachment to an uncertain estate

I refuse to relinquish love

For a well-fitted but counterfeit...

and those
who didn't have your behavior
that sweet resembles mine
that is, those
that were abrupt and fierce
claw hands and old eyes

stealths, they plan blows and ambushes
