I keep my tongue
Moist with the Dhikr(s)
a maiden from Nazareth
fully human,never divine
in a stable did confine
brought forth a child-
human,Jesus,saviour..mine
Poppy scarlet red
Scars the grey November skies.
Memories bleed still.
Autumns orange craze subdued
By the brown bombarded earth
a searing gash
the world still lives through
Sep.11~
as phoenix proudly rises
from ashes, life resurrects.
Counting and counting
Time seems far
A new day
Greater way
Old forgotten scars
Looking forward
New beginnings
Old endings
The day.
Sentry sits alone,
Amid fallen heroes graves.
He was their symbol.
Quietly he sits.
It is fitting he keep watch,
For they gave their all.
Oh what a time.
I could spend on a dime.
Everything wine and cherry time.
Deep fellow of mine.
Oh it feels like a crime.
Here is Ten Dimes.
remembrances -
poppies swaying
against somber skies

VISIT THE SICK
PRAYING FOR THEM
LORD HELP THEM TO MAKE IT
EACH AND EVERYDAY
SOME ARE IN PAIN
FORGOTTEN NAMES
KEEP THEM ALWAYS
HEAL THEM ALL, FROM PAINS.
Today we remember the fallen
on foreign fields that were trodden
by armies at odds.
Our wreaths laid on sods
will ensure they are never forgotten.
Remembrance day---
The sound of the last post
Echoes through time.
Silent lament
The touch of teardrops---
Remember them well.

Wreath laid on his tomb
My voice cracks as
tears stream down
Can I explain this to my son ~
My tongue has almost drowned
the red poppy grows
over our most grateful hearts...
we shall not forget

* Nov. 11th, Remembrance Day
after the guns stop
flowers from love letters fall
soft on no man’s ground
no glory be found in this
quietus of butterflies

When on Remembrance Day
There is no one at the parade
The war is lost
Dead heroes’ died in vain
This shall be a countries shame
Note: Written for Remembrance Day Nov 11
At this very late night,
Breaking sleep suddenly,
When someone sees
An image in front,
How can you term it-
An unsightly ghost to fear
Or the dearest guest to wait?
Standing tall dressed in regalia
twenty-one gun salute detonates
a lump lodged deep in my throat
combination pride sorrow and so much more

The young say that granddads have ruined their lives
They’re getting themselves in a strop
But can they explain why, when they want jack boots
They go to a fancy dress shop
lone bugle laments
their bloodshed and sacrifice
ne’er forget their feat

WORDS TO SAY THIS DAY.
YEARS AND YEARS
SOME TEARS AND TEARS

I always think of
My home town whenever I
Braia fresh fish with friends.

I kiss her red honeyed lips
She allows the milk
of my iniquity
to wash over her
The pain of her sadness
washes away my cruelty
I leave my rifle at her feet
