When angels fall returning
As stars grace the night
Pray for those upon the wind
We miss the fallen held within
Our children from on high
Sleep well in heaven's light
Sweet Columbia | |

Posted: 3/26/2010 7:54:09 AM | My Heart Knows No Distance
Many miles and grand spaces are between us
Though my heart knows no distance
As my soul fly's forever
You carry a smile given to few
As your eyes speak of pleasures and passionate pastimes
I look upon the one so far away
Your picture and the sadness proclaimed
The distant field and the loveliness shown | |

Posted: 3/27/2010 7:05:12 AM | A Secret Young Love
Braving darkness, discovery, disownment and death
No sadness burdens as shadow and moonlight
Dark green glades and temperate hollows reveal
One lone rider flying swiftly
As forest and evening glisten with rain
A sound is whispered
The creaking of saddle and snorting of beast
A second rider tall and slender
Swings down and kisses yon maiden
She caresses and leans in
Feeling his arms surrounding her body
He presses her downward
His cloak all around her
A playtime for lovers entwined
For owl and midnight are the only witness
The wind and the winter careening towards them
Though they are unaware as legends and love come together
When fathers lament as daughters have vanished and fallen
She pulls away and mounts
Driving hard for home
Before daybreaks reveals
Her bed sheets unruffled
And her eyes full of passion | |

Posted: 3/28/2010 9:38:11 AM | The Seasons of Life
I have always found happiness
Since my dawning days
Birth stands as the coming of spring
The youthful exercise with fertile ideas and welcomed laughter
The knowledge that my future was boundless
My families love with atonement unnecessary
As the summer waned and the leaves began to swirl in color
The belief that I too was changing and the shades were not as brilliant
With oak and maple the forest boughs hung heavy
Hibernation was ahead as we kept from winter's door
Bundled and blessed the cloak is pulled tightly
As the clock continues the race and my image migrates to snow
Then frost takes our shining self and presses us to a dimmer standing
The meek and humble trace the tracks of one's life
With muddy roads and ox on the tether
This is how the seasons turn as we emerge from the icy talons
We break the frozen pattern as lasting spring resumes
Summers run together along ridges of pain and pleasure
Till like the clock that is wound before nightfall
My inner spring winds down as the chime grows quiet
Elder pine and fallen leafs
The green moss grown and loons heard in the distance
All else is spirit passing
As I was born I know that I must soon wither away
The burden over as the hush is on the vineyard
The grapes are absent as my time is sipped from the glass
No bramble bee or cakes of honey so I may continue
The finish is sadness as the sudden chase is over
Crickets chirping as the night falls slowly silent
And all that is left is my memory held dear | |

Posted: 3/29/2010 6:36:06 AM | Patience
Sometimes to achieve
The important point of one's life
Requires patience
We all grow and learn at our destined pace
No one can judge
What time-table we follow
Some are slowed by self-doubt
Or life's cruel joke
Others by self-destructive behavior
That mar our existence and bring mountains to rubble
Though we can't display horror and despair
While requesting laughter
Allow the fledgling sparrow a chance to fly
Or the injured dove a chance to heal
As we give ourselves the right to change and reform
For isn't life just that
A constant evolving motion
Never still
No river remains in place
Unless frozen by cold temps and times
We are movement
Unless we chain ourselves
Or allow others to shackle us away
We should be judged so
As long as growth or change
Or the will for such is present
No conclusion is granted
As no book is finished
Until the final page
No life is complete
Till the final breath
Is taken | |

Posted: 3/30/2010 7:08:51 AM | Goodbye My Love
She is lost on life's way
A girl from a younger time
Who stayed with me through love
I lament as part of me is missing
Of pain foretold this bears no name
It's earth dug low and lonely
The casket marked and lowered
My angel sleeps not with me tonight but adrift in earth's dear realm
I thought I cried when she passed
Tears beyond recognition
Though nothing aches as much as the pain of her lying there alone
My baby too far away to hold
The dirt between and what is left of me
Ages as I am held to a bitter time
The last days left to serve till my prison ends and she awaits
A native of my youthful hour
To dance the dance of hopes reunion
Through eons glanced and kisses kept she is back where I desire
If love is measured and held by such
She will stay with me and never leave
My love till always and beyond
Forever as one | |

Posted: 3/31/2010 8:54:56 AM | Never A Patriot
We hear the rumble
The turmoil
When mobs behave as ruin tossed
And the beast does brutal rule
The gun and might that attempts to lead
From hell this nightmare speaks
The hate and vicious brew
All strength to those who vote the truth
The ballot box and liberty
Though justice can be blind
She is never deaf and hears the rumbling
The tirade of vulgar against this flag
No friend am I of national borders
This chess piece match that plagues the world
Nations joust and taunt and dare
The wicked force they all hold to
With military might
While their people starve
This threat of war
With budget battles and defense allotments
The dirty politics and those sent off to die
If you dislike or disagree with the goverment
Vote your will with ballot strong
No gun or weapon bare against
This flag held dear
For we speak proudly of Midway
And quietly of Pearl
The fight up through Italy
And the men at Okinawa
A history of honor from the brave
That will never be disgraced by the mob
We love this land far too much
And those who fought and died for her
To disgrace their memory would be wrong
So very wrong
False patriot | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/1/2010 7:49:33 AM | Without Her
The highway lonely
A dismal and dark entry
The still and quiet way
Only regrets un-removed and choices made in anguish
Once we were golden
The streets paved so with wonders seen
As radiant beauty and her smile perfection
The girl who cared for all
The weak and frail
The downcast rebel with a weary heart
She was my strength
The pleasure post or a windswept cure
My gift retained but she fell lost in others
Grim from the hurt and never more
I wish she were here to hold my thoughts and bath my worries
To follow stars and to ride the wind determined
I dreamt of travels
Milestones and merriment
The ocean blue and evenings of love
But my dear drifted away
An epic cut short
A love sadly lost | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/2/2010 6:30:42 AM | Loyalties To The Devil
I've played the deuce
The winning hand
Or so I thought so wise
The master choice
The feeble minds
All hatred so inclined
To join the ranks of wrong instead
The edge of sanity
Against the truth
The somber truth
As hell it waits for me
For fear brings choices not allowed
While concience strikes the few
The curse of death yes all around
Was enough for me to prove
Though all the while within my soul
I know the pain and truth
That all are equal in our eyes
The small, the weak, the simple youth
No master race to chase
No loyalties so misplaced
I've played the devil
The losing hand
Or so I found unwise
The nazi rat
The bigot pig
Humanity's demise | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/3/2010 7:17:04 AM | Wine To My Lips
Passionate thoughts persuade me along
When lust becomes reality
As a moan is the bell that sounds
Until this hovel becomes a home
As a frosty silence rings with delight
While the air is the canvas we dream upon
I am with hope that adult's can play as children before
And lessons learned are taken deeply
My taste for thee is wine to my lips
A hilltop guarded
For slave and all a night remembered. | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/5/2010 8:11:14 AM | Always Together
When I desire will you be there
The purpose of love possessed
A wishful concert combined
I am so proud of what you are
A destined woman of mercy well traveled
A quiet reason to love you gently
Though mortal I am for you till death rings
I am the lonely that drifts in your heart
For I have given you what we were as one together
A loving voice as you envision us always and smile within
My love will survive the ages and pass to an ideal story
As my ashes will weep for you alone | |

Posted: 4/6/2010 7:06:31 AM | A First Crush
Her Auburn hair
With a romantic sent unfamilar
I gaze upon her fawn like eyes
Who was this apparition
She appeared during a time of awakening
No childhood pal
Or sweetheart future
Somewhere between a first kiss
And artful love intrepid
The overwhelming temptation
Overshadowed normal childhood games
We lingered till dusk
A summer always near her
Obvious carefree teenagers
Her body never shared
A regret of life
The fall coming on fast
With school sending us off
I yearned for her till
Time ran it's course
And other young girls
Soon took her place
But memories are like blankets
Covering our youth
And she was the first
The emotion still holds firm
Even today I can recall the fertile feelings
As childhood resides
In past thougths and glances shared
The shy doe stands very still
As a nervous young buck approaches | |

| A Day In September
Posted: 4/7/2010 7:57:43 AM | Battles Of Long Ago
Watch the mist as silent cannon
Sit and stare at the valley shown
Years lost coldly and anger dearly
Told by walls made of stone
A fortress gallant to behold here
The echo halls are empty still
Our victory remains uncertain
As decades pass upon this hill
No maiden high in the tower
Gone for ages long denied
Souless creatures then came calling
To take and rape and sail the tide
Trust no walls of bare protection
Hidden in the country line
Hope for all can be given
Still the battles rage inside
Put aside your childish wishes
To have and hold and power gained
No wicked path should you be riding
Just happiness along a peaceful lane
For cities strong are made to crumble
And death from battle is still the same
For peace is the road we all should follow
The price of war is beyond a name. | |

| A Day In September
Posted: 4/8/2010 7:09:38 AM | Believe
From history's terror
I hear the cries
The violent past
The hateful lies
A world at war with victim's cold
The ash and death
Your neighbor sold
What can you say about muder at play
The eager boys who murdered away
Nazi death from labor camp plumes
The rise of the Reich the utter doom
No hint of justice when all is depravity
The twelve long years to reclaim sanity
I grieve the tortured dead and lost
I've thought of the evil and the cost
Though I have learned for every deadly deed
The good that came from people who simply believed
The child who was found and fed at night
The hunted well hidden from the storm trooper's sight
The cry for freedom so close to death's door
Where resistance fanned the underground lore
Belief gave people hope to suvive each day
To rest with wolves as gentle lambs bay
To plant the seeds of peace and gracious truth
The world held hostage by a gang of sadistic fools
Nothing is greater than a trusted and promised idea
True belief can conquer a demon or sooth a nation's ravaged soul
Though the arch-angel Adolph
He believed too we know
How sadly we know. | |

Posted: 4/9/2010 6:28:02 AM | Challenger
Dare the blue
With warrior drawn
A proud and valiant reach
Seven brave souls
Soar to the heights
Of loving sorrow so deep
With eternity waiting
Our precious in flight
Slipped the bonds of earth
A calling ever higher
For the brave who inspire
Questing stars since birth
Forever onward
Challenger | |

Posted: 4/10/2010 6:21:48 AM | Falling
On copper forest
As maple and oak part October sun
The flaming red and rust to amber
Past withers this cold cycle
As foliage falls under winter scene
Leaves to musk and earth
The season clean remembers spring
With the coming days of May beholding | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/11/2010 9:28:02 AM | Your Song
Have you fallen so far
With the light of love dimmed so
That I cannot lead you home
What we had was eternal
The song from within me is yours
I recall the smiles and our life full of love
Then you forced us apart and that tragedy showed in me
The victim held silent and banished away
But I have always held your memory
To watch you chose another after the feelings between us
Is much more than hurtful
It is heartbreak forever | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/12/2010 7:28:23 AM | On The Wind
Give me depth
So I may sail onward
For sailing is my release
Roaring quickly past the deadly forties
Rare ghost unchallenged on emerald sea
Tossed on man's ancient oceans
Whales sing thee love songs
We are the lucky
Storm ravaged and seasoned
Rum sodden but tested
Mere guest on nature's voyage
Travelers under heavens vaulted ceiling
The lights of northern skies show beauty beyond imagine
Calm the true Pacific enough to drive men to madness
Ponder while Atlantic swells
Tell of greater men's courage in reverent whispered tones
We are the believers
Neptune's fancy
Poseidon's palace
The classic journey
Let sails unfurl
Our course always to windward it seems
Hard alee to lands unknown | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/13/2010 7:05:57 AM | The Lady Fair
A princess royal whose pain we all shared
Hidden by a publicly silent black veil
She stood straight and tall and amazed us all
The regal figure who lost her bow
Shot down in anger and remembered in grief
The world mourned her fallen
A leader charmed though not to all
The sanctity of marriage and freedom of choice
Destroyed and belittled with bullets and blood
Her pink top stained red on that wicked flight
The Texan who raised his hand and took up the sword
As she stood dazed and frozen in time
In black and white | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/15/2010 9:20:41 AM | The Burning Pit
Icy stares
From master with snarling beast
Brutal beatings lay to spirits failing
No haven for the hungry masses
An ugly truth behind the madness
When the agressor views neighbor as subhuman
What kindness is given to the slaughtered beast of burden
The frail and hopeless the captive victim
Swill and lice offer suffering's tale
With eternity waitng the ghosted souls
The ultimate shame as shadows cross humanity's voice
Outside the gate so very near
The burning pit
Kicking and alive they are pitifully tossed
Mothers pleading
Babies screaming the horror
As the specter of damnation lingers
The crimes continued
A commandant with machine guns primed
The targets near as the kill begins
The ash and waste with chimneys burning and chambers of ghastly ending
As death becomes the escape
The only escape
And solace is left to the guilty living
Undeserved | |

| A Day In September
Posted: 4/20/2010 8:38:38 AM | Sunday Bloody Sunday
Selma's shame the racist fools
The police who charged and broke the rule
Busted heads with protester's bled
The harm and ugly up ahead
Horses charge as clubs do fly
The voice of forever against the lie
Freedom chased for three hundred years
To many hanged we cry the tears
Why do men hate and fear
The liberty of others near
A simple reason I understand
Not man enough to lend a hand
Prejudice is fear and sin
The scared and running held within
Martin led and understood
The times a changing for the good
Too bad the gangs of cities today
Don't understand the fight that day
They misunderstood the sacrifice
The disgrace of today's city life
No one marched so crack is sold
The downcast streets so long cold
Respect the fight and live your life
Leave the streets to the night and do what's right
Their brave memory deserves that
At least | |

| A Day In September
Posted: 4/20/2010 8:55:17 AM | This Uncivil War
With war
I am cold
No mother's love near me for comfort
Or fires rhythm allows me escape
Two years short of twenty-five
I am surrounded by fifty dead soon haunted
Fearing my days will end as musket ball turns my final page
Will my spirit travel home through a Carolina mist
As a gentle breeze carries the scent of Georgia pine over Sherman's lost boys
Cherry blossoms spelled Washington's gloom as Lincoln holds true our nations sorrow
March thy army blue while gray tells thy rebel glory
Cavalry hidden at the woodland edge await the charge they pray will never come
As flags are held clean blood and ash wash the faces of phantoms yet flown
A nation barely of age steadied itself against wars great hardships
While farm fields went unplanted
Husbands and sons were blown across the river Styx
Their women left behind
To weep the silent cry | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/20/2010 9:11:44 AM | Endless War
I grew up in a time
When young men would die
We sacrificed them so easily and would speak of the pride
Of fighting for your country with God's saving grace
Not in our own backyard but in a far distant place
Now many years later nothing has changed
Our boys fight and die thought the reasons are not the same
We started in Afghanistan to avenge the Towers that fell
To kill all the terrorist and send them straight to hell
We ship our boys to Iraq with martyrs still to blame
For weapons of mass destruction hidden by Saddam Hussein
The anguish and the terror as the roadside bombs explode
The mothers who are left alone without any dear hope
We press the vicious attack as they do the same
We send in more troops like gas to the flame
The fire of war will only burn if we throw on more fuel
We must admit our own mistakes and live by one simple rule
To stop killing all our children that is very plain to see
As their mothers also cry for they too believe
That we do not belong on their sacred land
What really is so sad is both sides took a stand
To kill all the enemies and drive hatred from this place
To come home victorious
Again with God's saving grace
We are sometimes very stubborn and we don't want to lose
To admit our wrong mistakes and the paths that we chose
So many have fallen from the Towers and the war
When its all finally over will we remember what it was for
For revenge is a dish that is better served cold
And terrorist man men will kill us we are told
Is it terrorist fighters that we really should fear
Or the lying polititians on this it's pretty clear
Not to believe all the lies and to question those who lead
To love all the world's people
And elect leaders we can believe | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 4/21/2010 7:52:15 AM | Every September
For long lonely years
We have mourned and cried
The pain and grief from that evil time
As pictures are held up every year
We can't forget the fear
Too close so near
The height and flames
It's deadly name
From all above no one remains
When angels taunted all around
As this became such holy ground
The twisted logic
The total blame
From life's mad choices
Most are the same
A gift from God
We do proclaim
Then shoot their children
Blood wet as rain
This must end
We all do pray
To find our peace
From this September day | |
