A FEW MORE HOURS (IN IRAQ)

Waiting, just a few more hours Until Eternity will come to an end And close the chapter That sucked my life away. Just a few more hours And I will be able to leave this place behind And take with me the hopes And burn the ill memories from my life. Could I forget the heat or the tan in the sand?...

TWENTY EIGHT

Twenty-eight years of life Breaking hearts and friendships along the way Lacking the patience to listen and understand That my way will not always be the best. I have deprived myself of smiles and tears Keeping my sail steady With an ocean to make my own Ignoring the beacons offered to me.... Sign in to see full entry.

DON'T CRY FOR ME

Don’t cry for me! I beg of you, please don’t I may be gone but I am here Next to you, holding your hands. Don’t cry, I am still alive In your shadow and your smile In all the memories we shared; My body may have died in Iraq But my heart is in all that we are. Don’t cry for me but celebrate me After...

I AM!

I am; A writer, a singer, poet A man of choice, wisdom and character The peasant and the student; Learning the before and the after. I am; The pilgrim in the pilgrimage The servant to those who need me The Master of my fate; Not imprisoned but free. I am; The man of many verses A pioneer to life... Sign in to see full entry.

PRAYER AT HEAVEN'S DOOR

My hands are not clean And my heart is not far behind Both, alike, were stained Branded through my choices; Memories which won’t let me sleep at night I have done some good, But have also wronged a plenty. Courageous enough through convictions But a coward to know the difference And this is why I am... Sign in to see full entry.

TRAVEL MY ROAD

Count my steps if you can Before you dare speak of me; Wear my boots and walk about At least three miles to pay your fee. Take the time and walk the road The one I’ve traveled since I was young That same road with all the bumps That is all but fair and all too bold. Don’t forget to carry water You...

MY SECRET

The Morning was short But the day has carried on; No one knows, I have not told So is just for me to know. The years have gone so fast And a new one has come I was impotent then and now I can’t walk I am nowhere near a road. I have not accomplished Nor become that man I wanted to be Somehow, I must...

TRUST ME

We are not supposed to be here But, that is now too late and out of the question. Something inside us knows this to be right Even if all else tells us that is wrong. Is just you and I, We both know how long we waited for this Playing games trying to avoid this moment And all for what, you are here... Sign in to see full entry.

Quenched Obcession

Fold yourself into my arms And let me guide you through the night Give yourself to me! Trust me! Or at least tell me a lie. I have waited for this for a while Watching you from the distance Afraid of being turned away But, you are here now And in my arms Watching your lips beg me Aching for one...

WE WERE CHEATED

Not a moment passes me by that every breath reminds me of you and the filthy dust of this war-barren land tells me that it should have been me and not you. I am walking the steps of a reckless man defying death while holding it by the fangs and yet, what was my fate became yours; you were so young... Sign in to see full entry.
