Dear Mom
       I have a few days left until I come home. I however will not be alone. I have such a friend that is like a brother to me. We have became so close you will see
                           Love Son

Dear Son
      It is so great to hear from you. Is it an old friend, or someone new?
We have no problem if he comes with you; he can stay a day or two. 
                   Love Mom&Dad

Dear Mom
        I must tell you that while in combat he has lost an arm. Their is plenty of room for both of us on the farm. Mom he is just like a brother to me. Give him a chance and you will see. 
                         Love Son

Dear Son
      It will be ok for him to stay.  For it seems in the military that was his price to pay. He can still help the best he can. Even though he has only has one hand. 
                 Love Mom&Dad

Dear Mom
         That is good news to hear for he will be full of cheer. I must tell you also in combat that he has lost a leg. Please welcome him as if your own I beg. He is such a friend to me. If it wasn't for him. I would no longer be. 
                        Love Son

Dear Son
       I'm sorry to inform you this way. For your father and I can't  let your friend stay. We have no place or time for a crippled man around this home. 
It would not be save for him to roam.  
                      Love Mom & Dad


Two weeks latter their son arrives in a casket . It was not big enough for him to fit His cause of death was suicide. When they looked deep inside. That's when they were alarmed. Their son was missing a leg and a arm.

Love Eternal

Goodbye he says
Kissing her cheeks
Look deep into her eyes
His hands around her waist
‘I love you my wife’
He says
‘See you tonight’

She looks out and watches
As he drives off her sight
She smiles and dances
Through the room
She does her chores
She makes dinner
For her 12th anniversary

She waits as night fall
For her beloved husband
The car pulls up
She opens the door
Run into his arms
And feels his kisses
Cool from the evening air

No words are said
They dance in happiness
Into the house
To music only they hear
He loves her hard
Before dinner
And loves her again, after

The phone rings
She takes it up
Turns around
And he is gone
“This is the general hospital,
I believe….’
And she faints

Her beloved has gone
To glory that fateful morn
Thrown into the pavement
By a passing trailer truck
He never made it to work
Nor made it home
Just his love celebrating an anniversary
With his beloved wife

All Of I      

Around the world
I breathe , you see
the smoke it curls
to swallow me
you hold no vision
nor belief
ambition all missions
ran strong
then weak

I watch
the clouds
I catch
your sound
but you don't hear
though I cry out aloud .

I was your fear
is what you said
this was unclear
as the tears were shed
what did you think
what could I say
we began to sink
still docked in the bay .

All of I
could not keep you
some of me died
holding on to you .

A boy and his dog
Companions at heart
Lived a peaceful life
In happiness

Then a man on the run
Grabbed the boy with his gun
Took off with the child
Deep into the alleys

The child cried out
To his dog who was near
As the cannine and snout
Bolted out, leaps and bounds

So the man with his knife
Hurt the boy and his voice
When the jaws of his friend
Came to rescue him

Taking the punches
From shots from the gun
Bites of his knife
To save his best friends life

The beautiful dog
Sleek with gold fur
Now painted in red
From the fight with the man

The man away ran
The boy hugged his friend
They kissed and they cheered
Then the feds had appeared

They saw the blood
Splattered everywhere
The boy on the ground
The dog mangled up

The boy couldn't cry
Voice box dead inside
From the attack it was hurt
So the cops saw the look

Of the dog in offence
With their guns in their grips
Shot the animal on site
The boy there then cry

That he had lost a friend
Who had just saved his life
Covered in his blood
The boy wouldn't budge

From the dead dog side
The remains of what lay
In an alley of pain
Where his friend been slain

I've found my missing rib
I've found a reason to sleep
Boredom and loneliness forever squashed
I've gotten the companion I need
She'll be with me always
My lover forever
My home will be her home
My God'll be her God
And though we'll never have children of our own...
We'll make this place a beautiful world

You and I, Suicide (inspired by maikeru555)





You and i suicide
Come and grab the cyanide        
Then we can go run and hide    
You and i suicide        
       
You and i, suicide                
I have no one to confide        
All the feeling i have inside    
That's why i'll committ my suicide  
             
You and i, Suicide            
You said you already tried      
Well so have i;my heart has died
When will be your suicide        
 
You and i suicide                
I found out that you had lied    
But this is not my time to cry    
It's just i in suicide

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday

I breathed your intoxicating desire
 caressed your inflaming intensity
 tasted your awakened demand
 absorbed your passionate yearn
 witnessed your stimulating euphoria
 
Yesterday
We were one soul  
in two bodies.  

Today

I breathe your piercing anguish
 caress your persecuting turmoil  
 taste your suffocating heartache
 absorb your punishing nightmare
 witness your agonizing plague

Today
We are one soul  
on two realms.

Tomorrow

I will breathe my unforgiving devotion
       caress my grasping grief
       taste my starving tears
       absorb my sorrowful shock
       witness my violent daze

Tomorrow
I will join you, and
we will be whole again.

"what i didnt get to say"

Each and Every morning at 5

She would make me come outside

Simply to smoke and watch the sunrise

She would talk about running away

Teasing lets go… let’s go today

Placing her head on my shoulder

I think that’s when I wanted to tell her

But Sister Jane called out, Tara...October

And just as I thought the moment was over

I turned and her soft lips met mine

As we parted so did the lids of our eyes

She smiled, held my hand as we walked inside

Sister pulled them apart and in our rooms we were confined

I came down for breakfast with the others

Hoping to see Tara, tell her I love her

Walking to the hall that’s when I saw her

Standing at the front door with her new mother

She just smiled and waved as she left

Watching her turn...leave... it broke my heart

Brought me to my knees as it tore me apart

A tear fell down my cheek

As I muttered wait… don’t leave

The door slammed shut, my words never reached

I didn’t sleep for days, not for weeks

At 5 I would stand outside and weep

Smoke half a cigarette and watch the sunrise

Whisper I love you, waiting for a reply

"Eyes on the Prize"
by: Eric L.Boddie

Keep your eyes on the prize
And not the one between her thighs
I'm talking about the great Beauty in her eyes
She's just an Angel in disguise
Of course she can make your nature rise
But she is here to revitalize
The parts of your heart that do despise
To illuminate your dark skys
So you can see the Light and recognize
That He Is Pleased with heartfelt tries
And efforts to stop the lies
That's why He Sent her to you instead of other guys
Because He Can Hear when the heart cries
For True Love instead of cream pies
But she brings them too until respect dies
And when that happens, the bind unties....

Pay attention to your lady or someone else will....you can quote me on that!
