He Stands Alone

He's a soldier 
So brave and strong
Mission after mission
Never gone too long
A gun, a knife, a tank
A weapon not his choice
A war started long ago
His goal to raise his voice
The enemy is armed
In unforgiving ways
Children, women, bodies
Scrupulous displays
Head games, body aches
Home so far from here
Reality is insanity
No time to fear
Nightmares are visions
And soon they will be gone
War will be over
Clouds convert to sun
Stand tall don't break
Fight until the last
Souls like iron
Faces hidden in masks
Voiceless corpses heaved
Buried and burned
Soldier keeps walking 
Eyes absorb but his back is turned
Kill or be killed
Wars awful plan
No tears to shed
From this young man

But a Whisper

As I held your
Limp lifeless form
The blank stare from 
Your once all seeing eyes
I felt the warmth leave
And a bitter cold
Creep over your shell
Of a figure your moans
Seemingly the only sign
Of life stabbing my heart
I am not God! But my poor
Soul whom I love so dear
I can not bare the suffering
If I could but whisper in your ear
And breathe life into your core
I would change places with you
But I fear the worms are calling
From their damp dark soil
And your soul will be ferried somewhere
But your shell will remain to toil
I hold you close one last time 
As is meant to be not my choice
I feel so empty
Suffer no more love 
Our parting will be short lived
A part of me will go with you
It is all I have to give
I am not God! But if I could
But whisper and breathe life
Back into you I would hold 
You forever

Serpents' Tongue

Slither slither to and fro
A senseless pattern as you go
Reptilian fashion cold remorse
Emotionless as if a corpse
No point in loving 
You have no heart
Cold hearted being 
Right from the start
Swallowing prey
And love alike
Makes no difference
No teeth to bite
Serpentile demeanor
How cold you are
I loved you 
Right from the start
Shame on me
Brainless fool
Manipulated by a
Reptilian tool
It's not your fault
You have no heart
I should have sensed it
From the start.

Cupids Loveless Arrow

Cupid spotted me 
From quite far away 
A round little fellow
Boisterous unfettered sway
Upon his head 
A crown of poison oak
A simple dress of 
Toga and a cloak
His arrows were 
A putrid green
Quite unlike the 
Stories and photos I had seen
He fitted an arrow 
To his little bow
Set for my direction
But little did I know
I felt it pierce my heart
It knocked me to the ground
Laughter and tears 
A truly hapless clown
No love I felt 
Remorse and pain
Loss and grief 
Nothing to gain
But why had he 
Done this?
Where had he gone?
Should I take a pill
To bring me up?
Or simply stay down?
Who do I ask?
Where do I go?
Explain this to my Dr.?
I would say no
Hallucination a majic 
Mushroom trick
I truly don't know
I only took a lick

Natures' Artistry

The leaves have fallen Love
And touched the ground
With such billowing softness 
From high they fall and utter no sound
A perfect picture to welcome 
The crystal flakes of white snow
Soon to arrive on the hardened back
Of that which the north wind blows
And you my love are nestled
Snug in your grave
Oblivious to changes
That nature has made
The bear is asleep
For a short winters nap
The geese have flown south
At midnight I heard a thousand wings flap
And Love you are nestled
Snug n your grave
Oblivious to the changes
That nature has made
The snow is not deep
The wind has calmed down
I had the trees trimmed
So none would blow down
The forests are quiet and lonely
After natures first snow
Snuggled deep in your grave
You would not know.

New Blooms

New buds of color gently caress Mother Earth
Poking from lowdown extending up out of dirt
Wiley unruly sensing the suns’ call to bloom
Flowers pushing up petals spreading over doom

Sacred Journey

Unfulfilled misguided sweet dreams
Empty promises bursting at the seems
Relentless misgivings turbulent love
Once interwoven like a silken glove
Lost but not forgotten always treasured
Symbolic reveries coiled hearts measured

Melted

The heat of your verbatim lashes at my hide
Red heat surfaces with the morning light
Serenades of moans and breathless catcalls
Inhuman indecent oblivious to the voyeurs 
Hidden by drapes and nostalgia 
Morning shower washes the scent away
But the sheets remain for the nights rebel
Stage two recall we shall join again
Never ending taste dripping from my lips 
Melted within your arms entangled in your loins.

Tulip

I kissed a Tulip in a hidden silent glen
On a sunny day a stranger led me hence
I laid upon the ground hand upon its’ base
The bulb was maybe six inches from my face
Fragrant and alluring yet insidious as well
I licked of its freshness consumed by the smell
Flesh colored light pink and barely bloomed 
It stared back at me as I swallowed and swooned.

A Grain of Sand

The spring wrestled the grain of sand 
And scattered it free floating in the 
Whirlwind on natures’ crystal spring
A tiny bird swept in to sip a drink
A dazzled by the floating grain 
Tasted it and swallowed it and now
Airborne the grain of sand traveled
To a field of blueberries and flowers
And the bird now hungry ate of the 
Berries and some of the insects 
And excreted the grain of sand
And the skies opened and the rains
Came and the tiny grain of sand
Became lodged against a great rock
The sun came out and dried the 
Tiny grain of sand and it adhered
To the big rock and now it was no longer
A tiny grain of sand but a big rock
And if felt fulfilled and powerful 
And thankful and complete.
