For the love of a lieutenant
Tell me that story again, The tale of love and self-sabotage, Of doubt and valour, Of hearts and corruption, Where the days are adventure and the nights are a dream, The danger is adrenaline and the work is never done, We stand together on the brightest days, On the coldest nights, On your side I stood, though times changed Tell me those...

Premium Member Armageddon, Lyrics
Broken souls and disillusioned dreams. (Drowning in a sea of dread…) Broken toys and angels without wings. (Fragile things…) Weep for the fallen brothers and infants without mothers. (No light, hopes where broken…) Pained tears encompass the empyreal rays. (No more days…) Pompous worlds painted in a destitute haze. (Where are we now?) Transmogrified in the iron flood. (Wash me clean…) Transmogrified in the spilled blood. (Still we...

World War, Overdue
No prophesy, epiphany or convoluted scheme Forecast it’s not. For sure, no joke.

Poetic meal
#Poetic_meal Dining with words, its my daily enticing meal, the scrumptious juicy sauces, dripping all over my fingers, leaving me with much appetite to dip deeper, my fork and knife into this meal of creativity... Could hear my intestine, groaning of ravenous intake, fueling my hands of vocabulary to dedicate much effort into this meal of...

Premium Member Place By the Sea
I once had a special place by the sea; A quiet get away where I loved to be; My favorite place for God and me. A solemn place, most Devine And serene, free of people for a season. The only sounds I heard were occasional fog horns, the roaring of the sea, and the still small voice of God. It was...

The World War II Museum
At the World War II Museum, There were crowds in every hall And so much to see and read You couldn’t quite absorb it all. Yet the visitors, so varied, Were attentive and polite, Everybody so intrigued with Every battle plan and fight. There were artifacts and movies, Interviews with those who fought, Which enhanced the schoolbook knowledge That each one of us was taught. Hours...

Premium Member Echoes Of The Silent Shore
One cold November, in the not-too-distant soon  the echoes of these shores will ever silent be as fewer come each year to where their pals were strewn; on Omaha, among the rest of war’s debris. Fewer again will hear cannons roar, a rifle’s snap, a bullet’s thwack, the screams of pain, the corpsman call. And yet they come, the few, in...

Without a Shadow of a Doubt
A poem inspired by “Involuntary Spies” by Marion Strobel: Without a Shadow of a Doubt Soldiers, Spies, Brute Strength, Intelligence Without a shadow of doubt, there is a difference The latter exists in a position of negligence Yet they stand strong and courageous Without a shadow of a doubt, their loyalty is contagious Ready to die for their country for a cause...

Each brush stroke sparks a fire Burning endless miles As one man sits in silence Looking back through his life Deep within his mind a memory set in time Resurfacing through his life A masterpiece Lost in time Taken from a dream rekindling a yearning need He ponders a joyous time To relive through each night As the morning arrives with...

Whispers Between the Circles
In the dim-lit dusk of a shattered world, where shadows gather but souls do not meet, I wandered—a hollow echo of Virgil’s path— between the ruins of ambition and ash. “This is the way the world begins,” whispered the dust-voiced guide beside me, “Not with a bang, but with endless scrolls and tongues too tired to speak.” I. The Circle of Silent Spectators Here,...
