POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
In life, you can guarantee nothing is given. But, if wanted bad enough, all can be taken...
Letting The Mind Go
To the fallen who lost the battle with or within.
I know it best because the battle never ends.
From the overdoses and the suicides.
To the ones who could not care to even try.
There are those of us who sit alone and cry.
Confused how we made it while others died.
Those who struggle with haven taken lives.
And others who lost their cheating wives.
There's a lot to learn after a war.
Like how to move on and live some more.

Teufel Hunden
The metals on my chest proudly displayed, for the Marines who could not be here today.
The red stripe down my leg strutted with honor, for the leadership that I led that did not falter.
Dress blues and white hats, gold belt buckles and pressed pants.
Like Cinderella, we Marines also have a ball, on November 10 to remember when we were all called.
Happy Marine Corps Birthday to every Devil Dog.
Semper Fidelis, to those who died but still stand tall.

War O.I.F.
Sorry there is no love poem today, just a mind on replay.
Like the first day in Iraq thinking will I ever make it back.
Continuous mortar attacks and walking in the pitch black.
Marines singing cadences as we ran in packs.
The weight of my rifle and my lips feeling chapped.
Waking up to explosions then rolling over not to miss a wink.
130 degree days then at night the freeze biting at my feet.
MREs to eat and hot water bottles to drink.
Remembering the sound of helicopter blades chopping the air.
Wondering how in the hell did I make it out of there

Cupid Could Never Lie
To me you are my world and everything I'll ever need.
Believe when I say that you bring out the best of me.
I've been to war and I know what it is to lose.
But this time in life, letting go is something I can't ever do.
So I put pen to pad to let you know the best way I can.
That I'm in love with you and I'll always be your man.
Never again will I jeopardize.
A love like this, Cupid could never lie.
For you, I would lay down my very life.
I wouldn't have to think twice and I haven't even made you my wife.
Take a second and let it...

I Believe In Miracles
"I Believe In Miracles", is what I saw itched above my bed in jail.
The first time I read it I thought, "I'd like to believe that as well".
Months passed and now I'm here.
Writing freely on the outside and loving you without fear.
I believe in miracles, that too I now see clear.
Because after twenty something years it's you again that I hold dear.

Just So You Know
You crept into my mind now you're running around in my dreams.
You've got me feeling like Freddy Krueger, chasing you under the covers just to hear your screams.
I'm not to sure if you know what you do to me.
Thinking, is this how life could always be?
Award winning, number one, top model if you really can't see.
What you mean is everything and I do feel that God's blessed me.
If we do the math, one plus one equals the two of us on the floor.
Barely making it through the door.
Kissing your neck as you're...

Never Never Land
You have me dreaming of a Never Never Land.
Where I never want to live another day without you again.
You can be my Wendy and I can be your Pan.
We can fly above this world young at heart forever, if you'd just take my hand.
There's no Crocodile ticking.
And no Captain Hook to spoil our plans.
I stand and agree with Liam, when he declared I was your boyfriend.
I strongly oppose you saying, that we shouldn't take advice from a four year old kid.
But I did agree you could lead the way.
And for that I'll follow you until the very end.

What You Are Worth
I want you to be there when I get home from work.
The thought of you being there out weighs the possibilities of being hurt.
Sorry it took me so long to figure out what you were worth.
One in a million, but honestly there is no one else like you here on this earth.
These words are truly coming from the heart.
New beginnings like these feel like a brand new start.
I do not know what the future yet will bring.
But I'm hoping it has something to do with you by my side and a diamond ring.

Drunk on Mead
My lord, this girl has something over me.
Was it a prayer or something evil that I just can't see.
She had me mesmerized at night
and traumatized by the morning.
Burglarized if she wanted, but my money is still intact in my wallet.
Cinderella has nothing on you.
To me she's like a fine mead and I'm a drunken Winnie the Pooh.
You must be Bell because I'm your Beast just covered in tattoos.
I'm still trying to figure out what it is truly that you do?
Love potion number 9? Or how your hips sway when you walk in those shoes.
Miss...

Love Struck
I'm not to sure what it is about you that I love.
But whatever it is girl you sure got me stuck.
I text you in the morning just to make sure that you're up.
And we talk at night just because it's you that I love.
I'm glad we're building this relationship on patience and trust.
Solely on open conversation and not just another fuck.
I'm going to take my time with you because this is something other than luck.
Your voice has me hooked just like a schedule one drug.
You have me smiling throughout the day just because.
Call it what you want but...

Since Batmans' away and Robins' at play.
Let me intrigue you with what I have to say.
But first would you like it in a riddle or a rhyme?
Perhaps a joke if you have some spare time?
What's beaten, bloodied and pounded to a pulp?
Can be angled, entangled and possibly choked?
But before your answer. What I find truly puzzling is this.
How did you get those jeans above those hips?
You must be a magician. That is quite some trick.
How about you show me from the beginning how you did it?
