Hit Head On After Starting To Skirmish

Hit Head On After Starting To Skirmish

Had hit head on after starting to skirmish;
Destroyed objective when did extinguish;
Waited;
Dissipated;
Control not needed so it would relinquish.

Skirmish

Skirmish 
 
                            It turns so fast
from happiness to sadness, 
yesterday
was a warm spring day,
then without warning
Cold.
Winter beddings
packed away
we fought 
over a blanket
I lost
she is blaming illness.
Today is miserable
a clumsy time
doesn`t know whether 
to cry or shine.
No internet
that`s a bloody shame.

Skirmish

6/5/17

Having separate decisions
And on our own missions

Seeing a different image
Me and boy got in a scrimmage
Like it was a privilege

Following or going against traditions
Whether or not believing in religions

On a planet with high gas emissions
And so many opinions

It may be unscripted
Or need to be encrypted

Not going to be the one who quitted
Or is getting continually outwitted

Going to always help kindred
Before and/or after dirt was sifted

Got into another skirmish
With those that didn't want to see me flourish
So earnest
To put me underneath currents
Or inside a furnace
But I was more than ready for any deterrents
And unwilling to give up on purpose
Above or below the Earth's surface

Another Outpost Skirmish....

Caucasus mountains,

     another trade route threatened

          rude,crude oil's pipeline....
