My dad fought in World War IIJoined up at nineteen, fresh out of school.From the ranks of the ROTCAnd into the Royal Artillery.His dad before him had been a gunnerSo selecting that military branch was no stunner. He fought in Africa, Sicily, Italy, France and suchBut never talked about it very much.He had a big scar on his shin.His 'war wound' he'd call it, with a grin.It was not the result of enemy action.He fell off a m...
Still and silent stream in the midnight darkResting amongst the flax is the night sky beauty herselfQuenching a thirst from the sweet, still watersWinds that whisper vows and carry the faintest of spellsHer eyes are deep pools of wintery waterPlaying in the shallows feels safe, any deeper and you risk drowningAn otherworldly beauty emerges from her secret streamSuch an ethereal maiden has never before been seenRushing to...
Do you not see what you've done to meMy heart breaking into tiny pieces From words that have been said Once a friendship that never ceasesA void is left where once was full Of a love so gentle and pure That was growing into the night Now left everything unsure I am worth more than what you've done Making me feel smaller than a snail You know how to hurt me so wellYou did it all through fucking e-mailYou told me I was too...
I wish you could see what you mean to meWhere we have gone and where we will beWe were two souls connected in the nightAn email that started a friendship so right Tears, laughter, and naughty things Fun times, joys, and stories of ping'sHush Little One and Seduction by SlumberThese things we write without encumber Seeing through the chaos in my headHelping me see what needs to be said Through love, pain and heartacheYou'r...

At last the light of this bright truth has shone On my dull and uncomprehending mind, That for my sake you have all else forgone, For without thought and ne'er a glance behind You gave your heart, and doing heaped upon My head such shame that I could be so blind. For sake of me you have your life redrawn, All other loves for me to dust consigned, And claimed this, not as loss, but bright new morn, A ray of hope into your...
It was a day just like today, I remember, The beginning of spring, a day of fresh beauty. Vanished were the harsh and bitter winds of winter. The landscape dull and heavy under a sullen sky, And the very earth hard like iron, cold and dead. But that was all forgotten now, just like a dream From which we had awakened into a new world, Redolent with hope and promise, lifting our hearts, And filling us with untold jo...
I try so hard I give it my best I try to please you I give you all you request But you are so loud And so very self focused You are easily offended You think I talk to much You feel I don't act right You hold it over me Day and night My every action is observed I try to be perfect But you always seem perturbed I want you to love me Or like me at least But you push me away There are others who come first I try to understa...
