M M Sii Poem
I awake from a distant dream....
Thinking of all I'd seen
Remembering what was in my mind's eye
Sad thoughts of a time gone by
I remember the heat of the desert and dangers of camouflage men
of small remote villages.......and the people within
I recall a child.......I can still see her smile
Black was her hair, her hands they were oh so small
I can still see her face.........I remember it all
Erelah, yes that was her name
ever since I met her, my life's not been the same
She'd come to our station almost everyday
coming for her hunger, always to play
running round and round, hiding from us all
I still hear her laughter........ I remember it all
Such a small girl, born into a ruthless world
A world where men prey upon men, and life is simply discarded like sand to the wind
Sunlight and shadows
One illuminates while the other falls
Days become weeks, as distant voices call............
Messages of distress come over the wire
speaking of death, fire
of a small village, of evil men who rape, murder, and pillage
Cloaked with the tools of Azreal, the tarmac erupts
Awash in wind and sand, we are lifted into the air
Nap-of-the-earth quickly, mountains, valleys pass by fast
Distant souls burning, as we come upon the village at last
Pyre smoke engulfs the senses, swirling around and round
Hovering high above, we swiftly descend to the ground
Toils of men are soon revealed in the dawn's light
The departed are scattered about as we scour for life
One burnt structure to another
We find nothing but hopelessness and despair
Only the dead and the dying, Iblis has been here
I peer into a doorway, and to my sadness I see
Little Erelah laying by her mother, still deep in a dream
But from this dream she'll not awake, nor shall she ever play
for her innocence and life were taken, both on this day
Never to learn to read, never to learn to write
Never to run and sing again, due to man's mindless strife
I promised to protect the children ever since that day
And always defend them against man's evil ways
And never ever forget her
That angel from above, or her simple message
LOVE.........
To me she was a moment of Spring, in a lifetime of endless Winter
She is but a dream..........

M M Sii Poem
I can't seem to stop dreaming of the scattered bodies that lay along the way
They lost their lives years ago, but still live in me till this day
I can still see their faces, their eyes watch me so
My mind takes me to these places, to torture my troubled soul
And I'm tortured for taking the only true possession we have in this world
LIFE.....
and I've taken it from the young, and from the old
And this has made my heart heavy, blood cold
Sleep....I can never truly sleep
Each time I lay my head to rest, they come for me
Taking me back to that time when they lived and breathed
Doomed... am I doomed to dream on and on, nightmare after nightmare, until my soul is gone?
Oh, how I pray they'll leave me and let me live my life
For it seems I cannot find love with this horror that's inside
I wish I could be as a child who never lost their innocence
But this wish can never be until I'm forgiven for my sins.......

M M Sii Poem
I've seen a lot of places
I've seen a lot of pain
I've seen of so many people
Give their love in vain
I've walked on every continent
Swam in every sea
But when it comes to truly seeing things
There's nothing like you to me
You are kind
and you are good
You show love for most everyone
Just like we all should
To me you are like an angel
With wings that let you fly
So, when I say, "I love you"
You can bet it's not a lie
For my love for you is true
and it's a love that will always be
Again, I say, "I love you"
and hope you always love me....
