On a day in September
No one really knew
About the death and destruction
Except the evil twenty-two
As radical Muslims
On four separate planes
From New York to Boston
For political gain
With tanks topped with jet fuel
And targets well known
From unholy minds
To make an Arab cause shown
Massive Twin Towers
That gleam in the sun
A symbol of our country
A war soon begun
As they taxi along
No one is aware
What evil is on board
And the plans that they share
From high in the heavens
Like a bolt from the sky
The victims are found
Soon a nation will cry
At the Pentagon in D.C.
And on Flight 93
Death was soon dawning
As we watched on t.v.
Some died in the plane crash
Others jumped from on high
With the smoke and the flames
How could any survive
And just when our worst fears
They suddenly came true
Two Towers came crashing
Killing all trapped we knew
The EMS, the police and the firemen
The ones who bravely rushed inside
The heroes from the Port Authority
They are now angels on high
For misery strikes
From unhappy minds
The misguided few
The religiously blind
They think that their plan
Was executed so well
Because civilians were killed
When our Twin Towers fell
But I'm glad to inform them
They were not even close
The targets they missed
Are what we treasure the most
They aren't cast in buildings
With mortar or stone
No strong beams of steel
An office or home
No the targets I speak of
Are very much real
They live in our hearts
The beliefs that we feel
It's justice and freedom and living in peace
This passion for elections
By a people who are free
Just ask the down trodden
On the streets of Iran
An election was stolen
When religion showed it's hand
As Neda lay bleeding
From a gunshot so near
A nation was shown
What we hold so dear
That some beliefs are worth dying
And you never will kill
The story that started
At our Bunker Hill
We have fought for this freedom
At Normandy and Pearl
Against monsters much greater
Than some martyrs who kill
We come back even stronger
When our freedom is attacked
Just remember the brave passengers
When Flight 93 boldly fought back
I know we are not perfect
Mistakes have been shown
And Palestine should live
Where once was their home
The land that they cherish
Is now a holy Jewish state
And for love and understanding
We should give up on hate
Let all of earth's children
Share all this sacred land
And live in peace and harmony
For as long as we can
For life is too short
To suffer in fear
The pain and uncertainty
Shown in our childrens tears
So no more dear young ones
Are scared in the night
Or left without parents
Because of four deadly flights. | |

Posted: 3/2/2010 6:53:58 AM | April 14th 1912
Such grandeur to view the neo-behemoth
Poised to cross in her virgin state
Rare jewel in form and scale triumph
Ocean stride and starlit sky
The test and rhythm of maritime
Old sails replaced by steel and steam
The icy calm and April eve
No ripple bears the bergs tonight
Full speed ahead as New York waits
So rich the fools who tempt the fates
The crush and rush past iron plates
With water born and earthly haunt
Rising slowly the wounded gallant
As giant breaks and slips beneath
With man or child or woman lost
The cold and certain cries to silence
Are left with God and currents sown
The angel pace and depths below
Titanic ghost | |

Posted: 3/2/2010 7:11:11 AM | The Devils Race
Dark stallion spurred silent towards the black
Spark metal shoes on stones roadside
Down the winding soldiers follow
Pour the wicked branches low
This moonlit ride this raven scene
Pound thy hooves as whip and warrent both give chase
No jail for certain just the devils race
Hold for life as a dozen follow
Drawn metal through a ghostly hollow
Thundering hooves roll judgement day
As judge and jury hunt I pray
Two bends ahead I swiftly ride
The powers to be force this lie
No trial forgiving or sentence worthy
Just potent equine judge and jury
Trust a stallions step and my silent wiles
Through hills well traveled far and wide
Down a path unseen as we have before
To listen to their quieting roar
As fly they do...right on by
Shouts and curses fade to a birdsong's sigh
We slow and I let him breath at ease
Out a path far northern and soaking wet
We shake as cold is still upon the morning yet
No sunrise cast just the barest of light
The beloved steed with myself free and alive
With mulligan waiting after our midnight run
The Bush and Broom have candles burning among
My horse is fed and stabled quietly
Mead and stew host my thoughts alone and silently
As last night from the army an escape was made
To dream the ride all over as if a price must be paid
Sleep falls and in the lonely hills I ride
In my solitude the task runs daunting or so it seems
To stand and fight without losing your life or what you believe
A challenge remains from the dire drawn sword
The chaliced jeweled decree from a vengeful lord
A shout out for blood as a gang does pursue
As fear is the marker alone within my view
When captains and soldiers both give chase
It's death if I'm captured
That's the the devils race. | |

| A Day In September
Posted: 3/2/2010 7:25:16 AM | There Once Were Men
There once were men I never knew
Though of them I admire
As Dover's cliffs fade far from view
And France's hills grew higher
For English shores were not their home
Across Atlantic waves
A place that fought here once before
A land thats free and brave
Stout British lads returned to France
In Dunkirks wake they dwell
At Sword and Juno they did their part
To avenge the bombs that fell
And from the north Canadian boys
They sadly gave their souls
At Juno beach they went through hell
My freedom tells me so
They lost and fought and died for us they righted wrong beliefs
They did thier duty then came home but with them came their grief
I'm sure at night for long tossed years they sat alone and cried
For arms so lost and friends long dead was hell they did survive
The horrors of war are many of these I cannot speak
The anguish, pain and terror left lying at men's feet
The labor camps and people starved
White ash upon the wind
The waste and inhumanity were mankinds greatest sin
I'm sure that I have passed them on the streets of my hometown
The men who came back home to us and never let us down
I wish I could still thank those
The brave who faced a calling higher
The one's who never came back home
The men we all admire. | |

Posted: 3/2/2010 7:35:14 AM | Timeless Freedom
Whisper my name
Without any fear
Shout of my deeds
Endless and clear
Cling to a time
When justice it rained
The good and the fair
Let hope please remain
The faith of our people
The chaste and the strong
With clever emotion
Where right does belong
A stable of stallions
The regal strong stead
The hope of so many
A land to believe
No king in the castle
Or lords held on high
A simple dominion
From earth to the sky
A field so forgiving
What holds us in place
A race for the ages
The view that we trace
I know of a land
Where promise has time
Where voices are heard
And freedom still flies
The image unyeilding
The job still remains
A quest never ending
For us still the same
To protect this dear freedom
The chase never ends
When man is forgiving
I will tell you my friend
As long as the world
Is still filled with hate
We have freedom to defend
This is our fate. | |

Posted: 3/2/2010 7:45:43 AM | Hidden In The Pines
What lays hidden in the forest forgotten
A billion stars and points of light
What heaven threads through on a cloudless night
The exquisite taste of yonder field
A life so ancient and very real
In a clear a cottage dark
The forest prime and lakeside
A sailboat moored to journey forth
You wave and watch me go
Each hour as the sand
Drifts off dunes below
The hush and pilgrim call
Waits shoreside while I fly
Over waters and the eagles
At least within my mind
More likely on a old stump
With a fishing pole
The crickets sing me in fore long
To sleep the quiet road
When last the mornings coffee call
And driftwood way offshore
I think my time is no longer mine
It simply comes and goes
The cottage lets me live in peace
The promised right I'm told
Hope ducks they fly
Right over heights
And last in heavens hold
No gilded cage or shanty bare
A happy life foretold
Down maple paths
With pines to pass
Tis nature's golden road. | |

Posted: 3/2/2010 7:54:06 AM | A Peaceful Silent Sunday
A peaceful silent Sunday
Reflects Pacific blue
No morning service calls the flock
On this the seventh day
A nations naval calling
Anchors battleship row
Awaiting the enraptured dawn
So many years ago
Wheeler gave us angels
Who left on earthly wings
Primal oil and prism fire
The West Virginia it rings
While embattled Oklahoma
Rolls her impassive keel
As destined Arizona
Shakes with Lucifer's zeal
A memorial still guarded
Haunts us to this day
Emblazing a red sun
That slowly fades away
Remembering Pearl Harbor
As the coveted ages fly
The day our nations innocence
Forever said goodbye. | |

Posted: 3/2/2010 8:00:42 AM | A Time Of Christmas
From a bright winter sky
Filled with stars and heaven's light
On the twenty-fourth eve
The twenty-fourth night
For Christmas will always be about giving and family
The wonder and hope and tradition to those
Who barely slept or who happily doze
As reindeer did fly and children did dream
Plums of sweet sugar and silver paper that gleams
A time to gather our loved one's so dear
To hold and to cherish while we all are here
A happy beginning to winter's long train
Jack Frost and the snowy treasures we hope won't remain
As praise for the family holding on till dear spring
Our Christmas spirit means more than anything. | |

Posted: 3/3/2010 8:26:00 AM | The Pawn
I am lost without you
My dreams wither to black coal and sadness alights too often
I recall happier times frothed with chills brought on by glee and loving tears
Your eyes would light as my love was shown in your gentle face
I cherished and waited happy to be so torn
And I would kiss you as no woman before
Now neither remains and loneliness clutches so
A pawn for life and reason
I prefer the treasured tones
For I can close my eyes and still hear your laughter
Honestly given and anticipated gladly
Be happy dear heart
I am alone
But I have such wonderful memories of her
A nd someday I will love again. | |

| A Day In September
Posted: 3/3/2010 8:33:45 AM | The Prisoner
I wait unsure for doors unlocked
With absent guards and alarms that mock
To creep and crawl past barriers strong
To reach a path to break for home
No electric trick or prison gate
The self-made stairs or cuffs of fate
A sentence told as I grow old
The single force that binds me blind
Is a prisoner held and left behind
The lonely soul that is free to fly
But doubts his wings and fears to try
To leap the ledge and dodge the pain
To grip the truth and brave the rain
I know this man and feel his shame
The caution held with one to blame
No cell of steel just fears unreal
A single wish
A simple state
To escape this prison
That I create. | |

| A Day In September
Posted: 3/3/2010 8:40:44 AM | Nightfall
Passive shades amber dark with crimson silhouette
Smoky turquoise baths the horizon future
The obscure day performs a burgundy burlesque
While willow lights buy evening a few fleeting moments
Lost rays of second season pass as the youthful day is spent
Earth and heavens field yield to night
Colors alight as majestic Boreas is jealous
Beneath adoring radiance the perfect Aurora sight
Shaded rustic red till dusk to fire's light
As the last penetrating flight
Finds the stellar black victorious | |

Posted: 3/4/2010 7:17:11 AM | The Letter
Dear Love
What have I done for you to forsake
I have worshipped treasured time and laughter
The only words being loyalty and destiny lived
The lavish rose or fostered pleasure
I would sing with harmony and grace in her presence
She is the beauty and the quest ridden
A fevered path as lust attainable
The hollow way for she is away
As I am left to fend forward towards a shadowy track
To walk alone without the pleasure she owned
The husband unwanted or wife cast out
A child orphaned
Loves sorrowful victim stone still and sadly quiet
Alas the rejected | |

Posted: 3/4/2010 7:29:53 AM | Mourn The Tower Damsel
Maven moon past August light
Castle rise and ramparts telling
Ripple flags and penannts flight
Hunts the lunar vista showing
A second cousin of sin and might
Crafted towards a sinister combing
The disenchanted perplexed and faint
Follow the chaliced sad complaint
For born the tower maiden held
So swift the tears from village yearning
Mother's grave and so mourned now
The damsel captive and who's protesting
The shut away and long interned
A brutal gang no thought to envy
Who toil the streets and evening tap
The so un-noble and alike
No bankers gang or city teller
Who drink thy gin and laugh alot
The dank, the dark the malajusted
The bawdy girls on Dower Street
A working class of women flashing
The tawdry type a wench of flavor
These grasp of prison and fate of such
The dungeon ruin and so lost longing
Nay maiden in the tower waiting
Years far spread our tempers wane
As she is ghost to inspire
The hallowed night or yearly vigil | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 3/4/2010 7:37:06 AM | Lonely Beings
Lonely beings are we
Self-contained though longing for more
As a pulse quickens
We glance and a wait
For pleasures of fate and moments transformed
As no words are necessary
Be silent my love
What lie's between us are more than mere sounds
A spark
A touch
Some remembered past
We are the forgotten brought back as two
We are the lovers who travel the distant road
Are you the passion so long desired
Or just a refection of my true self
Given in love | |

Posted: 3/4/2010 7:45:17 AM | My Cartoons
Happily I sit on the living room rug
My cartoons play on the t.v.
Mommy scrubs the kitchen floor
I am five
Suddenly a man comes on the t.v.
Something has happened
Something is wrong
Where are my cartoons?
People shout
They hurry about
The t.v. is very noisy
My mommy is very quiet
Finally she tries to explain
What awful thing has happened
How people can be so cruel
A man was shot today
He was riding in his car
His wife by his side
A tall handsome man
Was shot in Dallas today
Loved by many
But hated by a few
A man was shot in Dallas today
And I realized
There was more to the world
Than my house
My street
My cartoons | |

Posted: 3/5/2010 7:08:39 AM | Grandma Fed Me Cherries
As autumn passes into winters long evening
My eyes dim towards said pleasures of when I was a child
I never saw the hardships as I thought summer was forever
Joy brought constantly forth as puppies nuzzled and the grass was always greener underfoot
Plum trees blossomed while Grandma fed me cherries as I hung on kisses and wishes
Unaware that war and fear clouded reason
While men plotted and prayed for God to punish pagans overheard
Why are men so destined to fail at peace and kindness
Decent men work at lifting themselves above the cunning and greed
A slight few gather no love but thrive on some wrong unveiling of hate's throng
Too bad they have forgotten the laughter of childhood
When games were the flavor of life's favorite days
As gleeful memories overcome hateful ambitions
And my puppy licked me hello and guarded me from adulthood concealed. | |

Posted: 3/5/2010 7:20:43 AM | Pain Untold
Forest floor
My home
My past
Long before
We treasured this place
Valley sun warmed us
As rain bathed my children
Fire held us through winter's dark miracle
Then you came
These people respect nothing
They listen to no one
What they want is all that matters
We welcomed you as friends
You didn't deserved our friendship
Fish die
Animals disappear
Building
Drilling
Destroying
All around the world
The greed of gold covers your thoughts
While my children weep yours play soccer
You claim to be self-righteous
To fight for the poor and to stand up for the weak
But this only hides your guilt
You lied to us and forced us onto dead lands
This wasn't enough as you poison this most holy of places
Your garbage lays across my dreams
No shame
How can this be
How could this have happened to my people
This plague
This virus
America in God we also trusted
He lets us suffer at your hands
A trust betrayed | |

Posted: 3/5/2010 7:27:58 AM | The Taste Of Passion
The taste of passion
Is allowed to melt slow and seductive
As a kiss turns to a touch or blazing temptation
We laugh for that is the foreplay that holds a couple as one
While music is the background of life's leisure
Only she knows my gift and allows me to search her body
Her neck royal and regal
Reflecting my lips as I whisper how much I desire her
She allows my hands to explore her quietly
As moonlit fires burn to loving motions
Two are held to taste what I have long sought
And she only gives this to the one she loves. | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 3/5/2010 8:13:20 AM | The Light
Before her words only darkness
I endured barren and once tortured alone
The still time of growth amid burdens
My shadowed hall formed in frustration
As sunshine and romance are suddenly gained
My life is warmed and enlightened with sunlit glass
No hasty remorse for choices made only loving vision and blessed guilt
The complexity of youthful remarks woven towards an earthly ending
My thoughts mirrored in your eyes and novel ways told to my soul
I know the meaning of life's longings
Listed in words and deeds of faint charm and held deeply to view her way of Eros
As I am the faithful
She is the Light. | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 3/5/2010 8:18:13 AM | Will We Fight Forever
The anguished faces carved in blood
All heaven lost as demons pray
The tears of many cold on my shoulder
Bloodied together for others folly
When no more is left that bears thier name
Will we ever leave this hate behind
Or shall duty call till kingdoms ruin
This lucid soldier driven valiant
No tremble in his hand held so
With sword or lance or dagger deed
No winds of change land heartfelt true
The trumpet call and marching masses
The hate and piety of ego's cast
Our solemn oaths for the faithful
Become just empty words on fresh cut graves | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 3/5/2010 8:23:17 AM | Let Peace Reign
The simple scene of a woman and her child
A puppy plays and love is dialed
The sunshine sweet with a passive breeze
No danger near or in the trees
What allows this picture and it's coming grace
No push for land or atomic race
The one known truth that allows this scene
No blast of war or ghetto scream
We all must share this blame that's due
The impassive indifference of what is true
We rarely care unless it's at our door
The look of war and so much more
Let's live in peace and hold so dear
The short little time that we are here | |

Posted: 3/5/2010 8:37:44 AM | Return Dear Merlin
As a fair young lad
This tale I was told
No warrior defeat or king so bold
A troll unkind or dame held past
The subject of no man cast
A shadow serpent of deaths define
This Merlin who whispers the coming sign
A talismans board or his alter of stone
No evil eye as he is subject all alone
He once stood his ground and held armies at bay
An inclement beast with real power to say
A prophecy of war for kings from afar
To raise the ocean tides and blacken the stars
Men always fear what they don't understand
Whether in lifes's torn deeds or the devil's dealt hand
The wisdom of the ages and potions so queer
Too bad he is adrift and no longer here
One sad stubborn eve the wizard Emrys did flee
Deep down to a hillside cave, spell bound it's believed
It's only a sad willow that know's where he keeps
Till dusk he does linger then he drifts off to sleep
For mist and the devil fog surround his weeping tree
The bog ungrateful as we sip to no breeze
A wing on said Merlin
Put flight far behind
Return to your known folk
A safe wall and grapevine | |

Posted: 3/5/2010 8:44:48 AM | My Favorite Time
September
Is my favorite time of the year
Fields are full of harvest
And lambs so young are coming of age
As summer recedes and the long sleep nears
My girl is beside me giving love's warmth
As I fear the coming cold and snow
You comfort me during winter's call
For words are like kisses quiet
And grief has no home between us
Before your presence I would be sitting alone
Now autumn is here so bring on the coming cold
For she is with me
As Septembers song has arrived
And love has it's own warmth and pleasures served | |

Posted: 3/6/2010 6:39:34 AM | The Window
Frost lingers near
As our window displays
Your beauty reflected off cool glass
You have donned my white dress shirt only
Opened and unbuttoned
I cradle you from behind
As the glass is pressed to your perfect breast
Held against this surface unforgiving
It brings smiles and shivers of delight
Winter stalks us from outside our tame abode
Though we are safe and warm in love's content
While the only witness are the deer and the sweeping pines
The wind howls as soft imprisoned moans are released against said mirror
Our rhythm's change as movements collide and you pull me in
Two are as one with demon snow and fire calling
As banks emotions are thrown against frozen forms
Evenings sudden enraptured ending shows mornings call and sunlit revival
Be still and quiet my love
As we act in a passionate reflection
For we have all winter to ravage each other
And to say nothing
Over and over again | |
|
| A Day In September
Posted: 3/6/2010 6:49:42 AM | Ancient As Time
Ancient as time
We are for each other
Burning through life as a candle devours
No master of fate or woman revealed haunts my past
As time slips it's bridle a fear is removed
Soft crimson glances that toll the hour
No wonder of thought or movement of limb
Says enough of how I feel
As we are no longer alone
We gladly hold tight to gifts of love or moments conspired
Lust provided and scents alluring
All at a days rest when I am chosen
And evening begins | |
