SHE STRIVES SO HARD
HER SINGING VOICE IS PRECIOUS
A VOICE TO BE HEARD
AS SHE SEEKS THE GOALS
A PRECIOUS JEWEL WAS FOUND
A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
HER GIFTS WERE FOUND
TALENTED AS EVER
NOW A KNOWN STAR AMONGST THEM ALL....

A time to relax
meditate non hesitate
communicate, appreciate
the time on earth
each day of remembrance
the past is the past
a new day approached
the future holds the unknown
a story well told
meditation in the air
a time to think
a time for you
reaching out, with opened arms
Praises to God
the mind has renewed....

As the passion engaged
the love came
upon the stars
the wind blows
directly into the river
the passionate of the two
were just beneath the sea 
a spiral downsized
into a deep love
stars above, whispering winds
as the flow of the lake runs slow
nevertheless, a connection
wind blowing from all directions
It is a day of remembrance 
tender love, happiness
smiles and glow
forevermore....

A scene unreal

a dream that vanishes

life surprises

stumbled, disguised and feelings

with a touch of love

wind blowing in all directions

guessing,

everlasting

time goes by

blue skies, a walk in the park

sunshine rises, lights approached

another day of remembrance

it was a dream and a scene

awaken to reality once again

endless thoughts gathered

what was mattered?...

blitzed blackened skies 
hail of bullets ricochet ~
crimson fills trenches 

screams of the fallen
reverberate through scorched earth ~  
laid waste to ruin 

dog tags dot stained sand 
identities reduced to ~
scraps of twisted tin

empty caskets draped
in red, white, and blue blankets ~
return to home shores

heroes are buried
a day for remembrance born ~
respect for the slain

Oversized in a surprise
a day of remembrance
lasting throughout the trip
an overload was in the midst
released of a million
categorized as a billion
overtaken by a surprise
in a disguise
taken into security
never to be claimed
unnamed
several hours later
a bag was discovered
wrong bag as oversized
forgotten
claimed to a name
elated amazed not ashamed
check bag was their identity
with lots to give to plenty....

Trapped in my head, 
trying to escape memories of a life I once had.
Fear of confronting my worst pain, 
fear of face to face that day I'm sure to go insane.
Hatred built up for so long, 
guilty of life lived so wrong.
A day without remembrance will never pass, 
a day for death will always last.
Emotion filled with the words I write, 
cold chills down my spine with a blurry sight. 
Once a young mind twisted with sinful lust, 
Now an adult my mind is totally f*cked...

A day in the park
as she walked in the dark
a day of remembrance
shining stars shimmering
rolling stones, nights of the moon
sunshine brights
lights in the making
deep blue sky
awaken
not shaken
the stars as they shine
valentine and flowers
state of the mind
a romantic evening out
dinners and passionate sights
he wept tears
scenes so beautiful
vacationing days out
as they both arrived in Paris
riding on a carriage, now married
a genuine love beyond
new life begins....
