Echoes Of Sacrifice
when those brave heroes
bore arms for king and country
innocence was lost
the mustard gas crept
the grim reaper was there ~ to
collect the dead souls
seeping blood in mud
fertilising poppy weed
for rememberence
stark horrors of war
was the putrid remains ~ of
trusted brotherhood
true peace in our time
a fleeting concept ~ never
forget the fallen
honour in silence
with reverence the fallen
for they sacrificed
whispers of the past

From before to the now
From the deepness of the truth, that it shall reveal the real makings of a new, frontier of hope and dreams and endless possibilities. 🙏 For sure we can slowly see a new horizon, that once was hidden behind the darkness of thick clouds. Changing as it has done more harm than good, yet it is soon coming over the world. 🌍 YET it's for the betterment of mankind and humanity, for gone is the unnecessary feelings of hatred and discrimination of negativity, bought on by the devil's 👿 in human skin. For sure we stand here as one nation under GOD. 🙏 ALMIGHTY and the...

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.
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

Untitled life
And, on the pre dawn rumble time of losing
Tracks and dust heartbeats wrapped in shrouds
Unfound too proud, alone, with wise masters of design
Deny life insight like a wall, stoned and wet with dry eyes
Threatening powders, makeup pastels and many, many laces drawn together tightly till faces close
Whistling simple tones to slash solar rays
unbenign, giving flowers unfurling to unborn ants arrayed in crooked tables and concrete mulch
The clicking of black stallions until hissing smoke sours in exhalation
This land of broken shoulders swarm...
Tracks and dust heartbeats wrapped in shrouds
Unfound too proud, alone, with wise masters of design
Deny life insight like a wall, stoned and wet with dry eyes
Threatening powders, makeup pastels and many, many laces drawn together tightly till faces close
Whistling simple tones to slash solar rays
unbenign, giving flowers unfurling to unborn ants arrayed in crooked tables and concrete mulch
The clicking of black stallions until hissing smoke sours in exhalation
This land of broken shoulders swarm...

A Man Like Me
I wake up kicking the wall.
Who can love a man like me?
A Marine who is still violent, even in his dreams.
What I turned myself into wasn't just for me.
It was for my three children and a wife I no longer see.
They never had to bear the burden of losing their Marine.
But I still carry the scars of hearing people scream.
I can see now clearly that the battle is still in me.
War can change many things but never back to who one used to be.
Who can love a man like me?
A Marine who is still violent, even in his dreams.
What I turned myself into wasn't just for me.
It was for my three children and a wife I no longer see.
They never had to bear the burden of losing their Marine.
But I still carry the scars of hearing people scream.
I can see now clearly that the battle is still in me.
War can change many things but never back to who one used to be.

Send a Kiss to the Sky(in blue and yellow)
A kiss to the sky in blue and yellow
Send a kiss to the sky in blue and yellow
Yea
When you know you’re right
And the world doesn’t feel the same
Said it right up tight…yea
Won’t repeat myself again
And these fiends run wild…
Till we put them in the game
And these fiends run wild
Till we PUT IN them…the nature
Of the game
When you know you’re right
And the world feels again yea
Christmas by candlelight
Isn’t as romantic as it seems to be
As the bombs drop...
Send a kiss to the sky in blue and yellow
Yea
When you know you’re right
And the world doesn’t feel the same
Said it right up tight…yea
Won’t repeat myself again
And these fiends run wild…
Till we put them in the game
And these fiends run wild
Till we PUT IN them…the nature
Of the game
When you know you’re right
And the world feels again yea
Christmas by candlelight
Isn’t as romantic as it seems to be

STAY WITH US
Lone pariah of the heart in knots
Into darkness, slipping
Faced with dismissal, dismal thoughts
For acceptance, gripping
Beyond the shadows in your soul
There is so much more to extol
Crumble apart, there is no rush
I'll be there to pick the pieces up
So you've held out through the storm for answers
And you're tired of all of life's meanders
Then would you reach out before you bleed out?
Don't you face the world with pained expression
Don't you lose your goal on first impression
Or would you bleed out...
Into darkness, slipping
Faced with dismissal, dismal thoughts
For acceptance, gripping
Beyond the shadows in your soul
There is so much more to extol
Crumble apart, there is no rush
I'll be there to pick the pieces up
So you've held out through the storm for answers
And you're tired of all of life's meanders
Then would you reach out before you bleed out?
Don't you face the world with pained expression
Don't you lose your goal on first impression
Or would you bleed out...

Steel Talons
In lands afar, where sun doth blaze
And heathen shadows mar the days
There rose a cry, a trumpet's sound
To cleanse the earth, to hallow ground
With banners high and swords aloft
They march'd in steel, their hearts full soft
To lands where blood like rivers flow'd
And faith in Christ the path bestow'd
The iron tide did sweep the plain
As lion's roar and lion's mane
With crosses red on armor bright
They claim’d the lands by holy might
Yet in the dusk where serpents hide
The sins of men did there abide
In blood and...
