Vietnam and the Grace of God.. Another Fallen Marine

VIETNAM and the GRACE OF GOD..
“ another fallen marine” 
 
The daughter of a lucky Vietnam marine, 
 his only child is my husband you see
lucky because he made it out alive,
aware of the alternative..
as he watched buddies die.

Some days for hours I’d listen to stories
many times in disbelief…………
it wasn’t until he pulled out his pictures
that he made a believer of me.

Enemy fire, hell in the jungle, 
and finely beyond the grenades, 
I remember him saying 
it was by the grace of GOD, 
the reason their Asses were saved.

Proud they were and lucky 
to go home, now here we are, 
fourty years down the road.

While my husband, 
our daughter,
his mother and I, feel
very fortunate to have been
a part of his life

As luck would have it.. 
this cliché is a lie, 
those who felt lucky never
had luck on their side.

A soldier selflessly sacrifices life
some were called quickly
and others over time.

Dad was a marine during the 
Vietnam War standing 
front line and center, 
freedom at the core

Positioned in the jungle, 
men were exposed 
It’s silent, and brewing, 
agent orange as we know.

Agent Orange is the reason
 so doctors have said,
that caused the cancer and
 the death of our dad.

A MAN of all MEN 
he will always be known
as another fallen marine has
been called home.

Corsets My Waist

Corsets My Waist
In my corset I 
Feel thin and lean
My waist is constricted
Without any pain

Down to a 22 from 
A  26 inch waist
Inch by inch as I
 am tightly laced

Around my body it
Is snug and warm
Squeezing firmly like
A silk stalking glove

It Defines the curves,
 smoothes out lumps,
Especially if you have
Junk in your trunk

Reshaping my form
And reducing my waist
Creating an illusion of 
the perfect barbie frame

I Walk proud and I
Stand tall this corset
 I wear Is the cause
 of it all

I glow with radiance 
And sex appeal
causing not just men
but the girls to stare

So next time you see
A perfect ten stroll bye
 you might find yourself
Staring because you are
 mesmerized

 if this happens  don’t
 hesitate to tell her she
 looks good with a 
Corseted waist

"THIS NEXT PART HAS BEEN ADDED ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF MY CORSET GIVEAWAY CONTEST ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE. IT IS ADDED ONLY FOR THE CONTESTANT TO USE FOR THE INTERACTIVE PART OF MY CONTEST"
CONSTESTANTS...YOU MUST TAKE THIS ENTIRE POEM (CUT AND PAST) TO CORSETFITZ TIMELIME AND POST IT BEFORE YOUR INTERACTIVE SECTION BEGAINS

CONTINUED:

Now here you are 
with yours tightly laced,

as you stroll by..
you feel the eyes
 focus on your waist....

what will they say about about you?

Little Stinker

I send this picture to my grandparents
       because they're special to me,
   and they'll put it in a high traveled 
       place so they can show off me.
  Before you say, "Oh What A Doll" my looks
     are deceiving if you know me at all
   cause I can be a little stinker every now
   and again, but don't ask my grandparents 
     because they won't repeat it " A-Men".
        The two things I give every time 
        they're in town #1 is my hugs, 
         #2 is my love to which they
           cherish all year round.

Just the Way You Are

I say do
you say don't
you say will
i say won't

you talk a little
i talk a lot
you, calm
me...not

I will argue
you will discuss
you walk away
while i'll fight
and fuss

i am a worry wort
i question everything
you have a modow....
Reveal nothing

But,
as a team?
We are a well
oiled maching
doing our parts
responsably

yet,
if one asks
how we made it
so long, 
the answer is 
simple..
Time flies by
and the years
are gone

now here we are
20 years has passed
are we weaker
or stronger is
the answer we 
grasp

one things for sure
as we lok in the
mirror..
I have gray hair
and you have 
no hair
we laugh at our 
differences as
we each say......
I LOVE YOU

Ma Settled For Whiskey Sour

That's right little ole lady it's here
once again, your birthday is back so
 let your aches settle in. What to get you?,
something old or new?, you kissed my
cheek and said, "your love will do".
To get a gift, it's not just for you, when
 the one watching you open it get's
 excited too. So I started out for 
something unique, and that's 
what she got... to say the least

I went for a walk, and I  wandered 
about, I kicked this old liquor bottle
 and a genie came out 
As startled, shocked and as scared
as I was, this gift would be perfect
for the woman I love

So I scooped the genie and
the three wishes up, I ran all the 
way home while shaking him up,
sitting the bottle on the kitchen 
counter, I unscrewed the cap and 
never smelt anything fouler

The bottle fell over and the
genie rolled out, he got back
to his feet when he then passed out.
So all I could do was laugh at the genie
 Now pitiful and drunk,  just needing 
some sleepy

But now at this point there’s 
nothing I can do, so I went 
to mama and said,
"pick a hand... one or two”

The drunken genie man was the 
hand she'd pick so I offered her 
the hand with the half full bottle, 
and told her to wash him down quick 
with this foul smelling WHISKEY SOUR

Sweetheart, Sleep Well

I meet you here every night
just to feel you hold me tight
we snuggle to each other's form
we keep each other safe and warm

This is the place we share our love
and silently thank the Lord above
for giving us children to kiss goodnight
and seeing us through to mornings light

And this is the place we go to dwell
it is our bed so sweetheart sleep well.

It's Too Easy For Us Girls!

Seductive eyes with bright red lips
red nail polish on my fingertips.

We sit in this bar and say no words
you gaze deep into my eyes,
while I play like I'm yours.

Will you drive me wild..or have I
already driven
will you be one of those guys that
will be easily smitten.

You have broke my spell by looking away,
   my smile is immanent....
" who's game are we playing"

You play it well, so your reward is my attention
but I am aware that your goal is a night
of passionate kissing.

There we go.. now I have you back,
your desires will get the best of you yet.

Into your arms, I slid down the seat,
my ulterior motive to feel your 
heart beat.

And the faster it thumps,
the closer you are,to losing
this game between one boy
and one girl.

Now that I have you flushed in the face,
you ask yourself
" How much more agony must one man partake"

Babe don't worry, It's almost done
your pockets are now empty
so when you look up I'll
be gone!.

Dad...My Only Regret

DAD…
my only regret

Today is a day that I am full of regret
As I fight an old cliché,
 The many things I should have said,
I went without saying but I love 
You dad 

As a young girl you have influenced 
my life, And loved me if I was
 moody or happy to be your 
son’s wife

Miles have separated me and my 
birth father So, Like it or not………
yea, I’m a Fallo girl

Leading by example as I quietly took notes, 
the quality in the man is what I will cherish
the most
Well,  with my eyes wide open dad 
I hope you can see I’m not waiting
 so long to tell mom how much 
she means

It is with all of my love that I am sad 
to see you go, I will miss you forever 
and for me please kiss 
aunt Lowi’s nose.

He Wore Womens Shoes

There you are strolling about 
a drink in one hand and a
 smoke in your mouth
A dimly lit club with familiar
 people, as you say your hello's 
you are greeted by the females

Watching you interact, touching 
The very small of their backs,
 tender, gentle, a romantic perhaps

My finger, now moist from 
the liquid in my glass like 
a potion that I'm brewing 
and I intend to cast

A hunger in your smile here
 and there, as secrets from
 these beauty's are whispered 
in your ear

Competition is confirmed, 
and it is going to be tuff 
as to have one of these
 bunnies is what you lust

Rescued by thirst, 
and only remnants in 
your glass mother nature 
now calls and you can 
move on at last

 With experience of a gigolo
 you mingle the room, 
blessed with 
the looks of a prince..
oh yea your good

Walking my direction
 Your approach is near 
in about thirty seconds 
my motive secret..
but very clear

As a woman unknown has 
just crossed your path 
you stop in your tracks to
 turn and look back

Where is she from..
Why is she here…
What should I say….
"can I buy you a beer?"

This is a first,
 one of it's kind..
you haven't no words
or pickup lines

It's now or never
 you say to yourself, 
like time after time
you dive in head first

but tonight will be different 
and you will be left stumped
 "what just happened..
was I just dumped?"
as you yourself……..
are now…used goods

One Mother's Daydream

A day I remember a day that was sweet
I found myself daydreaming by a slow
flowing creek.
Her curly blond hair and her big brown
eyes, instills the memories I''ll forever
hold inside.
My joy, my life, my child so new just take
mommies hand and I''ll see you through.
So as you grow older, and become a young
woman the inevitable will come when
you say " I''m Goin"
And when that time has come my dear I''m
confident my child you'll persevere as
you take your steps in the great circle
of life.
