Soldier

Home Land To No Man
It all started out as the family man,
House with the picket fence a true American dream,
Never really seen it coming but, only heard,
Then the day came when we ultimately had to serve,
For God and my country I remember the words so true,
Never thoughts the words I lOVE YOU  would mean so much ,
Until I had to depart from you!
Hold my hands and the warmth will keep us strong,
For how long?
Freedom is the reason you say why we fight?
To a land of unfamiliar sight,
Sailing across the raging sea strapped ready to go,
Don't feel so gung ho!
As a tear fades to salty sea below,
Hit the sad bar (Sand bar) now begins the charge,
Casualties large,
Definition of killing is redefined to survival,
No regards for life,
Just thoughts of guilt festering in the mental quicksand,
Surrounded by destruction,
Charred remains,visual,and mental stains,
On the brink of insanity,
Can't think about where I want to be, ( I want to go home),
For my country?
What about For my family!
As we sit here in this trench,wrenched, drenched, in our own stench,
SEMPER FI DO OR DIE!
We did with our heads held high,
Now all we have are the stories which we do not tell,
The eyes do swell when we think of our comrades who fell,
At home once again,
But, a different man,
I see and fell the pain but, I still love them but,it's hard to understand,
Every time I walk through the door,
All I can remember is the love that I left behind,
WAR !
WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR BESIDES FOR MY COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

Nursery of mine

Jack was nimble,
Slow not quick,
Mistook a plugin for a candlestick,
Jill took a tumble,
A nervous tongue will often stumble,
What happened to jack?
He tripped over the pail and hurt his back,
The dish ran away with the fork because of a dirty spoon,
How can a cow jump over a crescent moon?
Old McDonald had a farm b-i-n- g-o,
On that yard he had a dog e-i-e-i-o,
Three little pigs see how they run,
Three blind mice can't see the sun,
Twinkle, twinkle star so far,
Row, row, row your boat gently where your are,
A b c d e f g,
Make up words just like poetry,
Words of wisdom gently down the stream,
Bended knees shatter broken dreams,
Hickory, dickory clock,
What will one do when time in life finally stops?????

Shadow life

Picture me bummin, Begging for sumthin for nothing, Straight frontin, Plain game, Not worried about shame, Cookin pipes with flames, Every time I light it, I fight it, As soon as I smell the aroma, It's all over I'm a goner, To the island of mirage, But, I wake up in a abandoned garage, Burnt lips and fingertips, No chips, Worried about a sore I caught from some nasty hips, Everything in this life has no grip, So my food box remains hungary and sick, Trying to look for a bottle to sip, If I'd had some cheddar life would better, Even when it rains on me nothing gets wetter, I'm in a traffic jam everything is stop light red, How can I push life up? What can anyone say? When the initials in your name spell D.O.A. DMK 8/2/13

Curtains

The great pretender, Return to sender, Thief of hearts, Emotional blender, It's hard to forget when one constantly remembers, Life in trance, Is love the same without romance? A lonely dance, A constant melody, If I say goodbye would that be the best remedy? I can no longer let you in, This soul needs mental rest, No more tests, More highs, Tired of the lows, What ifs, Who knows, How the story goes? The end starts when the doors close......... DMK 7/30/13

The moat

Unlike the heart and soul, My mind is in a dilemma, A king of my internal castle while a queen stands before the drawbridge, She has visited once before, Leaving her scent and aurora about, Love is in the air, Even perfect vision cannot see what is before the eyes, Though the battle dressings have healed completely, Potholes and memories still remain, The scars lead to the aortas ocean, The beauty within it's breathtaking, Which so few have tried to view, A keyhole can reveal so much if it turns in the right direction, I can see the tears she sheds from the suns deflection, Trembling while facing my direction, The king lays down his crown to reveal he is merely a man, Hoping one day someone will understand, As the draw bridge descends it is forever...

Crevice

reflecting internal pain, a mental forget me not, How does one make it stop? because I'm forgetting Who I am, Damn you society! Why did you like to me? Why did I listen? Because I had my ear to the street, When I should've kept it on my head, Now I lay me down to sleep, Before I wake let us take a peek, For we know the world is on the blink, For your hands we wish to hold and keep, My GOD, My soul, My heart, We are all lost, Please don't depart....... Dmk 07/03/13

Beautiful disaster

waiting for blossom, Dreams held in captivity by emotional fog, What seen visually it's hard to ignore, The best escape is unconsciousness, Being touched never changes, Each kissed is desired, This beautiful disaster, Reality brings me back to misunderstood, Deep thought brings undesired sadness, Emotional madness, This way, That way, Pulling my mind like saltwater taffy, I am right? Should I feel wrong? For wanting what I need? Not for what I think I should have? For if I receive it will it last? As the shadow of desire looms within, Hold me, Don't leave me! Feel me, Don't just touch me! Kiss me, Don't deceive me! This heart is in a stagnate state, Warm, Cold and confused, Fearing what I could actually win, Not what I could really lose..... DMK 07/02/13

Head held down

My mother was my father, While he skipped town, The human scavenger looking for a new nest of eggs to lay and lie down, When responsibility was needed he could not be found, Mr. Merry go round and round, How many circles can one make without seeing the inside? Be the earthquake and cause such divide? The unwarranted tears of these children could fill the desert sands, If they were to wait and hold their so called fathers hands! It's a shame that fathers can't define father, If they were to look up FATHER it would say "WHY BOTHER", How many years will they play hide, but not seek? Coward, Yellow belly, Open eyes won't take a peek, How can any child look up to a man whose first name begins with WEAK!!!!!!! DMK 06/26/13

Choices

Truth speaks truth, Lies are what they are, Non alcoholic drinks at a bar, Are you going to drive that car? Mr. meanor, Turned felony, Disaster words becomes a melody, No one's singing because we don't understand, What happened in life that you had to see it through the bottom of a glass or can? Adults make dumb decisions, Surgeons make the wrong incisions, Bad contacts in the eyes cause blurred vision, Some don't believe in marriage views need to check how they're living! Talk and start forgiving, Stay in line instead of proving to the police that you can walk on it! Start telling the truth and you might believe it, Starting giving more love and you'll receive it, Close palms and bended knees, See what happens if we just say please, When things in life don't go right try drinking water, It's alot better than "will the defendant please rise!" Instead of worrying about job security, insurance hikes,law suit,jail time,court fees,fines,embarrassment,apologies,meetings,depression,reliving the nightmare,problems at home, Drinking is not a game of win or lose, Nothing to prove. Broken metal and glass, Blood and dispersed airbags, Maybe loss of life, Read the news, Don't be the news, See still no winner...... DMK 06/26/13

Hmmmm?

Life without love, it's like rain without clouds, Music and no sound, One tear from two eyes, believing and not try, A human tongue that won't lie, A heart that won't bleed, Being broke and not having a need, Reproduction without a seed, Day and no sun, night and no moon, Call it what you want, Past pain still haunts, Ghostly and grizzly, Without love will they miss me? Question without the Mark, Exclamation without the point, Pen and no ink, If you couldn't see these words would they still make you think? DMK 06/20/13

Inner soul

Desert storm, Touch so warm, Mountain peak, I love the way you speak, Hold me near, Whisper in my ear, Vision so clear, Eyedrops, Teardrops, Please don't stop! I thought the sun was hot, Succulent lips, Glass like skin, Orgasmic doorbell, Can I come in? Hard rock cafe, Stretch like taffy, Headlights perky, Touch lightly, Don't jerk me, Happy trail, Open up let's take that sail, I'll be the anchor, You makes the waves, Be amazed at what beauty can be found in natural caves........
