YESTERDAY, THOUGHTS, REFLECTIONS, GOING ON WITH IT ALL

Yesterday It seems only yesterday, The future bright and true, It all came so fast, much too, Now a time to reflect, ponder, All the wonders and blunders, Youth vanished, replaced, Maturity, certainty, wisdom perhaps, From on top of the hill think I, Where did yesterday go, what of today, Most...

FOR YOUR GENTLE, OR NOT SO GENTLE CONSIDERATION...

SUNDAY SILENCE Storms have passed, Sunday, silent and alone, Only the wind breaks air, Far, far from home am I, Here I sit, for rest, solitude, Not choice, but cold necessity, A cruel mistress if ever was, Removed from land and kin, All to serve greed of others, Much taken, dreams remain, Upon these...

THE HUMAN MIND, AN ENGINE AWSOME, HAPPY THOUGHTS, HAPPY JOURNEY...

A TRAVELING POEM In gentle conversation, The universe the stage, Imagination and friendship, Serve as good ship Adventure, A voyage without limitations, Neither time nor space, Travel as thy will far, Wander as thy pleasure, A boon companion best, To help fuel this survey, Two ever so much greater,...

EACH SOLDIER IS DIFFERENT, YET WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN MANY KNOW.

STUFF OF DREAMS With great hesitation, She had sent it to him, Her photograph, just her, All she wore was a smile, Posed, taken, sent far away, To remind him what he left, Memory of her, all of her, Remembrance she awaited him, In his Kevlar it came to reside, Upon his crown, day in and out, Through...

OF THE MUSIC ELECTRIC I SHALL WRITE TO YOU, LISTEN WITH CARE.....

SONG OF HEART Time of hope, blessingly so, Once found, thoughts mingle, Never before joy as this for he, Every sight of her wonderment. A chance meeting, business, She a secretary, he harried, Calm, soothing, so much more, A spark flared, fire kindled. Contrived visits, anything at all, Mutual... Sign in to see full entry.

DEATH IS OFTEN CHANCY, LOVE ON THE OTHER HAND SOMETHING ELSE.

RINGS Upon his finger, Beneath glove and grime, A simple band of gold, Never did he take it off, A link to her and home, Months went by, dangers many, End of tour approaching, Patrol for IEDs, sweeping route, Out of corner of eye, Fireball flaming towards him, In the night, restless worried, She...

NEW YEAR, NEW LEAF, OR JUST FANING THE PAGES OF THE OLD BOOK?

THE DRINK She was tight, Depressed, drinking, Far gone, Still empty, Seeking solace, Hiding within bottle, Out of money, Night still young, Drink she needed, Drink was offered, She glanced his way, Benefactor wantabe, Judgment clouded, She straighten up, Tried smiling sexy, Took the drink, Downed it...

SMALL THINGS HAVE A WAY OF ROLLING DOWN HILL AND BEGOMING BIG THINGS...

SCENT Sipping morning tea, Something new, different, Couldn’t figure out, Definitely something changed, Environment of home, Altered somehow, someway, Concentrated, no clue, Troubling all day, Returned, still changed, Finally, 1 am, awaken, Eureka, cried I, It was a scent, Not just any, It was hers,...

POSSESSIONS CAN TAKE ON A LIFE ALL THEIR OWN, MIRRORING LIFE...

MATTRESS Mattress at the curb, Discarded as trash, More than decade served, Wedding present from Mom, First time, blood there was, Much joy, some sorrow, Tears and fears, bitterness, Turmoil, fights, stress yes, Joy, tenderness too, much, Nights alone, nights together, Some times nights together,...

CHRISTMAS GIVING, WHAT A DRAG, NO WAIT, WHAT AN ADVENTURE AND PLEASURE....

EARRINGS For Christmas, Decide I did, Earrings for her, Hints for suggestions, I dropped around, Got the idea, Jewelry conventional, Enough she had, Something different, Wild and whacky, Deeply personal, Perhaps secretly private, Puzzled I, clueless, Asked sources close, Her Sis, Mom, Drew blank...
