Premium Member Yesterday

Yesterday is gone, too late for regrets
All memories of the past locked away
My hopes and fears joining them
Troubles I have had like most, happiness
Seemed to be just a dream from the past
So few of them have survived, once
Far from here I was carefree until you went
Away to war, the news came, lost in action 

Now I dwell in  the past with locked memories
It seems no point when I no longer can share them
Looks of love from others all around me
As if to taunt me, reminding me of you
Though it is a lovely day my heart weeps a single tear
They're one of many that never manages to fall
Here in my eyes they remain burning hot scalding me
To be with you once more just once to hold you
Stay my heart screams, do not go, do not leave me

Oh how can this be, such terrible pain rips at me
I hear a knock on the door and he is there saying 
Believe in me my love, I told you I would return
In your heart you knew I was alive, I am back safe
Yesterday is over, the war won and our life moves on

Premium Member Poetic Justice

A poet's flowing poems uplift the souls
     of men and sing of legends small and great,
     of knights and lords, of fiefdoms, and of fate,
of kings, and pontiffs in ungodly roles!

Long, long ago, these popes, desiring control,
     enjoined the knights to charge; and penetrate 
     their Christ's Jerusalem to decimate
the infidels and caliphs of dark Sheol!

When wanton rulers pillage and plunder, poets  
     write and sing of their wicked, immoral acts,
betrayals, carnage, and cabals; tho' it's
     wiser to just ignore these damning facts,
let poets instead make them known, so it's 
     repaid by poetic justice's attacks.

My Song

Fell into this rabbit hole
I went down down down,
Into another Country
I Hit the ground ground ground,
Fell in love with danger
Until it bit like a snake,
I Realized I was surrounded by the 
Fake fake fakes,
Now climbing up these walls
I see the welcoming light,
Cold November can’t replace this fixed fight,
I saw Stolen authority 
wherein an unoriginal plate,
In a losing army where they all meet their fate,
Taking all the money and staging all the fame
I awoke one morning to this vicious game
While the world keeps on dreaming,
I am rekindling youth from out of this rabbit hole,
They may have tried to take my pride
But they can never take my soul.

Ready New Soldier

Deserted soldier,
In A foreign land,
With the Sword of the Spirit, 
And blood on both hands.

Desolate Island,
Learning how to survive,
With the breastplate of righteousness,
He now can abide.

Wilderness warrior,
Greatness abounds,
With the helmet of salvation,
He destroys without making a sound.

Isolated general,
Now takes a stand,
With his belt of truth,
He comprehends his commands.

Eternity trooper,
Fights off the old fire,
With the shield of faith,
He gains his desires.


Secluded Sargent,
Ready for war,
With the sandals of peace,
He now conquers His beasts.

Triangle

At sea where the shadows breathe,  
Old ships lie, lost beneath the sea,  
Corvette Donna Freja on the patrol,  
Sailing waters, old stories unfold.  

An island looms, radar watch keen,  
But danger whispers cuts the serene.  
A Seabase ship breaks the silent night,  
There in the cove, no chance to fight.  

Ghosts of the Triangle call out in despair,  
Waves of the past rise up in the air.  
Fight or flee, under moon light,  
Will the Freja engage the fight?  

A cruiser’s shadow, sharp and swift,  
Guns pointing fierce, the air is a rift.  
Captain’s blood hot as a flame,  
Decide in seconds, the cruelest game.

The Commodore, monitors the chase,  
Information’s life, a dangerous space.  
Fins in the dark, chasing their prey,  
Past and present, a to price to pay.  

Caught in fate and courage worn thin,  
Echoes of battles, places they’ve been.  
Water graves whisper, every tide’s song,  
History's grips, the Freja must be strong.  

Through the Triangle's they’ll sail once more,  
A Corvette fleeing, but her spirit will roar.  
In the depth of night, courage runs deep,  
She’ll return to fight, where the enemy creeps.
In the dead of night.

Life is war new song version

Life is war

Life is war....
we go to battle every single day,
feeling more and more like castaways,
in this ever churning sea


Oh, oh, life is war....
with each new day bringing calamity,
this world keeps messing with our sanity
till we can't take anymore


Chorus
But...love soldiers on...
together we are strong...
each battle we have won...
our love goes on and on...
Love soldiers on.


Life is war...
Lost and stranded in a mental maze
Strafing bullets through the purple haze
letting in a ray of sun


Oh, oh, Life is war...
wondering if this is what's meant to be
or is there changing one's own destiny
to bring joy to everyone


Chorus
But...love soldiers on...
together we are strong...
each battle we have won...
our love goes on and on...
Love soldiers on.


Life is war...
We're surrounded by our enemies,
back to back we fight while on our knees,
as we pray for better days


Oh, oh, Life is war...
we stumble on through each catastrophe,
trying to find joy in the misery,
as we try to find our way


Chorus
But...love soldiers on...
together we are strong...
each battle we have won...
our love goes on and on...
Love soldiers on.

yes, love soldiers on
yes, love soldiers on

Premium Member Till Ragnorak Comes

From Valhalla’s fortress of spears and shields,	
Valkyrie riders make their daily runs…
Crossing Bifrost to Midgard’s battlefields,		
Harvesting warriors till Ragnorak comes.

Flying from Valhalla on their war horses,	
Thundering hooves beat like old battle drums,
Odin’s blond daughters watching the forces--	
Harvesting warriors till Ragnorak comes.

Legionnaires, Pikemen, Hussars and Spartans;      
Storm Troopers, Crusaders and Saracens;
Musketeers, Vikings, and Gladiators;		
Watusi, Cossacks, and Conquistadors.
As long as men hear the sounds of war drums,
They’ll harvest the best till Ragnorak comes.

Valkyries search for those to stand vanguard,   
Recruiting  Odin’s Einherjar armies.
Warriors pass Valgrind to live in Asgard--		
Honored to be served by the Valkyries.

Hoplites, Commandoes, and Mujahideens;		
Samurais, Yeomen, and US Marines;
Guerrilas, Dragoons, and Panzer Tankers;
Grenadiers, Mamelukes, and Bezerkers.
As long as men hear the sounds of war drums,
Valkyries harvest till Ragnorak comes.

Do You Hear What I Hear

Birthdate?  My family tells me
it was 1900 or so.
I don’t remember being born;
I know when I started to grow.

My first real friend was named Reggie
We first met when I was just six.
It was Christmas Eve, we read from
the Bible and we played music.

I had put on a lot of weight
by the time the war rolled around
World War I that is.  Without me
that war wouldn’t have got off the ground.

I won’t brag, cause I’m handicapped.
I’m wired only for sound, not sight.
You’d call me visually impaired
And you know, you’re exactly right.

In my golden years, my pursuits
brought a world of music to you.
I made live drama popular,
did a fair share of preaching too.

Always tried to keep a handle
on current events and the news.
My biggest changes over the years
have been size and battery use.

Premium Member Civil War Song Revisited

To the melody of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again..."

When Father comes marching home again,
  Oh, no! Oh, no!
He'll give me a helluva spanking again,
  Oh no! Oh, no!
All the screaming I do
 Will never get through
  To Father's closed ear,
   Cuz it's perfectly clear:
That this 
 hurts -
  him -
   more -
   than -
    It'll ever hurt me,
  --Than it'll ever hurt me.  

Most of the time
  He's a kind man,
  My dad, he is.
At work they all say
  That he's more than ok
  Hurray!  Hurray!
But when I do something wrong
 It doesn't take long
  For him to turn
   On a slow burn
And take off his belt
 To give me a pelt
  On the back of my seat,
   So I can't sit down for a week---
Yet it 
 hurts - 
  him - 
   more - 
    than
     It'll ever hurt me.
   --Than it'll ever hurt me.

Now I'm a new dad,
 I've got me a son,
  Hurrah!  Hurrah!
I only hope that he'll not
 Call me father, but 'Pa;'
   Oh, 'pa!' Oh, 'pa!'
So I gotta be strong when he does wrong
 Not raise my hand and keep my belt on
  Cuz 
   then
    it' -
     ll - 
     ne -
      ver 
      Ever hurt him or hurt me.
      It'll never hurt him or hurt me.
