MadameBlizardee - Hello Poetry

I have never seen a world as dark as this its shadows create monsters knarled teeth and clashing fingers i have never seen a world as bright as this warmth that grabs the heart and pushes fears away from you i have never seen a world as gray as this where words are two dimensional and people drift like the northern wind i have never seen a world such as this.

I Have

I have never seen a world as dark as this its shadows create monsters knarled teeth and clashing fingers i have never seen a world as bright as this warmth that grabs the heart and pushes fears away from you i have never seen a world as gray as this where words are two dimensional and people drift like the northern wind i have never seen a world such as this.

I Will Be The Exception I will smile at every veteran I see I will place my hand across my heart and sing, "Oh say, can you see..." I Will Be The Exception I will laugh and talk and joke and play, and smile. But not only on Veterans Day. I will do it every day. I Will Be The Exception I will shake their hands, I will help in anyway I can. Freedom can be celebrated every day, not every now and then From This Day...And This Day On I Will Be The Exception

She searches among the masses, their daughter in her hands. Her dress a fluffy pink, her hair in a head band. They have never spent this long apart, never dreamed the hurt it would cause in their heart. When she had watched him leave, her body willed away her tears. While others had cheered. She continued to watch for a shave of brown, a think of dark/light green.She waited for him in dark/gray jeans. The masses continued, her heart falling with every step. Had some note been unanswered? Had something been left unsaid. Her eyes come alight with love, her hands holding a tiny, pink dove. This is it. She thinks quietly to herself, * "I hope you like little-bit" *

*Lay me doon in the caul caul groon Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun Lay me doon in the caul caul groon Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun* It was silent. His body sunk into the earth. His soul long gone from there. He had died A gun upon his arms. *When they come a wull staun ma groon Staun ma groon al nae be afraid* He had died with a home that his dream would live on. *Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears* Later they had told us he had died with courage and valor. *Ains a year say a prayer faur me Close yir een an remember me* The shots continue he fell by the tenth. *Nair mair shall a see the sun For a fell tae a Germans gun* A ******** grasped in his stone cold hand *Lay me doon in the caul caul groon Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun* He saw a line of faces, brown, black and white. Some were smiling others, crying *Lay me doon in the caul caul groon Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun* His body sunk into the cold, wet ground As God opened his arms, for a boy drenched in blood. Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun A group waited in the wings. Soldiers from many places. Who fought to keep their shores safe.

There is no place like home Where our roots have grown Where speaking is only limited By the words that you can make Where you can go where you want Because someone is buried in Arlington Where life is precious And victory is sweet Where God smiled and thought, "Oh my that sure is pretty"

There is no glory in bloodshed No honor is death and decay But in a little town near Georgia From away from this bloodied land A girl by the name of Linda Has my son in her arms And a hand on her hip And planting little vinca's Is waiting for me. There is no glory in bloodshed No honor in death and decay But my husband is waiting for me In Petticoat, Maine. And even though we fought before I left He's expecting me home A kiss And for my head on his chest There is no glory in bloodshed No glory in death and decay But I'd give my very life for you For I Have grown to love living In the US of A

The US of A

There is no glory in bloodshed No honor is death and decay But in a little town near Georgia From away from this bloodied land A girl by the name of Linda Has my son in her arms And a hand on her hip And planting little vinca's Is waiting for me. There is no glory in bloodshed No honor in death and decay But my husband is waiting for me In Petticoat, Maine. And even though we fought before I left He's expecting me home A kiss And for my head on his chest There is no glory in bloodshed No glory in death and decay But I'd give my very life for you For I Have grown to love living In the US of A

*the hallways are crowded. slow. hot. people of all ages walk them. looking. talking. seeing. the fight is instant. and flesh hits flesh. bruises the size of apples appear on a small arm. they see a small boy but he is actually quite tall. teachers step in. reluctance, worry, impatience. they are hesitant to step in even though they worry for the boy*

I find that fear is just as delicate as hope. It comes and goes. Leaves an effect. It is amazing their abilities to conquer or overcome. They can change lives.

I'll hide my lies Behind my eyes And cry when she flies Through the vines Looking for who she thinks I was Gone for good
