The Best in my World
Dear M. and B.,
I am sorry that I was unable to be there for you. I wished that so many years had not gone by between us seeing eachother. I always tried to. Did you know that? I was always wanting to see you guys. Always trying to plan holidays so that you could come visit. But, my family was always moving. Always on the go. I hated that. Last I saw you was when I was 14. Now, I am 21. Just turned. I am sorry I was not a good grand-neice. If that is even a word. Haha. You are family though so I know you won't care. It doesn't matter who reads this, because It is strictly meant for...

Mid Day Rain in Fairgreen
Grey skies
Water stained pavement and sidewalks.
Roof tops sighing from the cold
Pots of flowers drinking the nectar
Wild flowers stretch up their faces
A light drizzle
Tickling the leaves of the trees
Kissing the petals of the roses
Dripping down the stems of poppies
Gleaming on the clover
A soft breeze
Touching the faces of an elderly couple
Rolling over the lush green hills
Playing tag in the tall grass
Moving over the huddled cattle
A distant thunder
Echoing in the mountains
Doing battle in the air
Going to war in the...

The Vow
I wake in the morning, filled with regret.
The love we once had, I will never forget.
It was the sea in your eyes that captivated me so.
But now my love, my time has come and I must go.
So keep your head up and worry for me not.
In this, pain has been created, and in gold it has been wrought.
So worry no more darling, my night is coming swiftly.
So take my hand dear, it is coming too quickly.
Look into my eyes, this one last time.
And remember this love, you will ever be mine.
And in these last few moments, dying here next to you.

What Have You Done?
Why do you always say something and do another?
Why must I wait for you long after you have promised?
What is it you do in your 'spare time'?
Do you know what you are even doing to me?
Do you know that you are creating pain and hatered towards you?
Do you know that all I want to do is smack that stupid self satisfied look off your face?
Do you realize how much of an ass you look like right now?
Do you know how it feels to be tormented?
Do you know why I haven't left you yet?
It is because I still love you.
But you only push me further away.
I don't...

The Beauty in Him
You take away the dark
And leave me with the light
You take away the pain
And leave me with your name
I havent heard a sweeter sound
Much sweeter than your voice
I haven't known a softer touch
More loving than your hands
You make my way for me
And how can I but follow
You have only ever shown me kindness
But I have strayed time and time again
You never left my side though
And I can not pretend
That Lord, Oh God, My savior
Where would I have been
Had it not been for you
I would be forgotten, lost, and alone
But now I...
And leave me with the light
You take away the pain
And leave me with your name
I havent heard a sweeter sound
Much sweeter than your voice
I haven't known a softer touch
More loving than your hands
You make my way for me
And how can I but follow
You have only ever shown me kindness
But I have strayed time and time again
You never left my side though
And I can not pretend
That Lord, Oh God, My savior

The Known Five Percent
There is no light that can penetrate the deepest caverns of the ocean.
Only bioluminesence can pierce the velvety darkness.
How beautiful and terrible it must be to dwell in the obsidian depths.
How it must be to live with no sight or sense of direction.
How long can one stand the solitude and loneliness?
How are the creatures able to stand the lurking and constant chill?
Does one even notice these things?
Or are all the creatures here used to this mysterious and hidden world?
It has no ruler. No King of this realm.
The law of the creatures is unstructured...

Baghdad
Was there pain?
Yes, and it was emense.
This is what I felt in my final hours.
In my final minutes? Only space.
My friend calling my name.
Telling, commanding me, to make it.
My last memories?
The smell of burning.
But of what?
Gas, and bodies, and metal.
I move my head to look at the destruction made.
Just the slightest movement sends me reeling with pain.
Then the realization sinks in.
My friends, the Humvee, and what is left of the road.
We were hit by an IED.
Baghdad....
I had forgotten...

Actions Taken and Words Unspoken
A frantic pulse, but not from fear
My heart beats too quickly, for you to be near
Yet still you remain, poised in the doorway
But then with a mischevious grin, you are on top of me
Pressed against me, one hand in my hair
The other hand you let wander further down
Reaching a spot up until now forbidden
And slowly you begin to move against me
Your lips brush against mine before delving deeper
Your tongue, teasing mine slowly, only gets quicker
The hand you let wander, moves under the fabric
And now starts a circling caress...
My heart beats too quickly, for you to be near
Yet still you remain, poised in the doorway
But then with a mischevious grin, you are on top of me
Pressed against me, one hand in my hair
The other hand you let wander further down
Reaching a spot up until now forbidden
And slowly you begin to move against me
Your lips brush against mine before delving deeper
Your tongue, teasing mine slowly, only gets quicker
The hand you let wander, moves under the fabric
And now starts a circling caress...

All Because Of
I have loved you more than ever.
Fields of green forever.
Daisies put in my hair,
All because of...
You are the one I've been missing.
Your love and sweet kissing.
Most tender of touches,
All because of...
My life, it's passing by.
Too scared, I close my eyes,
And you're still there.
You save me from my nightmares.
Where have we gotten to baby.
Please don't leave me stranded.
Broken and defeated,
All because of...
My mind's running 'round chaotic.
Lost behind my heartache.
I feel like slipping...
Fields of green forever.
Daisies put in my hair,
All because of...
You are the one I've been missing.
Your love and sweet kissing.
Most tender of touches,
All because of...
My life, it's passing by.
Too scared, I close my eyes,
And you're still there.
You save me from my nightmares.
Where have we gotten to baby.
Please don't leave me stranded.
Broken and defeated,
All because of...
My mind's running 'round chaotic.
Lost behind my heartache.
I feel like slipping...
