We were there
We were there when we went but no one remembers
We were there and we seen a war in September
I sat in my barracks with some of good friends
when head master called to his infantry men
as a ranger i flew i took to the skies
i'm lucky enough i made it alive
War is hell its all the same
a ranger born to die
The same
My poetic rhyme of the war and how it has affected me

This Flag
This flag ain't a rag
it don't stand for a gang
We don't throw it in the air
just proudly it hangs
it fly's by day it lowers at noon
we pledge unto it an oath we keep true
many men died to keep you free
and keep that flag flying flown in the breeze
i guess its true and i'm proud to brag
i love my sweet ole American flag
Patriotic poem here to show admiration for my country
my brothers my hero's my family and my service to it
All gave some but some gave all

Remember me
When you are gone
When you are  lost
When your burdens are heavy
When answers are wrong
When your mind tends to wonder
When heart starts to cry
When all of your love comes falling inside
When rain falls from hell
And hail fall from rain
Come unto me dear i will take you away
Into a new land filled with love
Remember me darling
I wait up above
I watch while your sleeping
I watch while you play
I watch while your running
I see you all day
I know that i left you to far and to soon
I fought for this country your mother and you
You never did see me
You never will know
My beautiful daughter
How i love you so
That poem is for a friend of mines daughter who father was KIA in Afghanistan
We remember them and we must remember their families

Who cares honestly
Upon a night one as this i sat and wrote a poem of bliss
I saw a bird he landed close and said to me who are you for
i said nay bird go away he flew afar up and flaying the night sky.

Another night he did return and brought to me a torn paper upon wrote said
I am savior of course i said bird go away leave me be my poems await
he then flew off again in flight peeling off the skin of night.

But weeks did pass like does a second i found myself second guessing
my condescension to the bird but then again he did return
he said to me i come with love take me in for im a dove
i said oh bird just let me be my dreary poems await for me .

and as of time it did pass but then again once alas he did return but as of now he was sparrow strong and stout i said to him fly away i have need of no sparrow go away he then again flew a flight peering off to the moonlight.

Years did pass and i grew old children came grew up left home my wife she passed leaving me true and now i feel so lonesome too but then again the bird returned but just like me he aged in turn a owl now he was this time.

I said oh Wise owl have you come to stay he said if you wish we can fly away i took hold of his wings he spread them far we flew of like speeds of moving cars.

I saw cars buildings and sky scrapers airplane jets and clouds of vapor he headed for the moon and went even higher we reached top and the stars grew brighter he said now watch as go far we picked up speed and went even farther.

At this point i could see the earth and the all stars and the planets i said to the bird shall i drift off back he said to me yes.

We flew swiftly through the night back to my chambers he let me off i said come in and take a seat and so he did and we both did eat.

Night had passed and the sun was on the rise i went to my bed and opened my eyes.

Love is what
What's this thing they're speaking of
Everyone says it's love
I don't know
I cant tell
From what i see it's all fail
holding hands and giving touch
kissing each other and whispering stuff
and you wouldn't
believe if I said
I just don't know what true love is

Man of stories
An old man sat his hand in his hat talking to a boy.
And said you know i must of fought 3 different wars.
From WWII to Korea and even Vietnam.
I remember when old sky man dropped that ****** ole bomb.
But everyone said stay away from him he is telling you all lies.
But he would sit and tell us how he seen his good friends die.
Then one day he passed away and we boys missed him so.
We went to see him at his grave and wouldn't you all know.
On his stone it was wrote here lies a man.
Who fought for his country decorated 3 star general 3 wars for uncle Sam.

Ballad
I'm a singer of lost songs so far and cast away.
I was born in the sky in the heavens i fly In stars by night and day.
My father was older than the sun upon my very birth.
He said go on and sing your song to God and mother earth.
And so i did i went and sang but nobody would lend an ear.
And Jupiter Mars Venus and stars cried for you to hear.
Mars grew tired war aspired Jupiter lost her eyes.
Venus said come here my child and take me as your wife.
Aries grew angry i battled him for 60.000 years.
And through that battle he surrendered and declared me God of him.
I went to Zeus i challenged him to a battle to the death.
And here i sit upon his throne as he takes his last breath.
I see it all and poetry is just a trick of mine.
Show me respect or find your death before my very eyes.

You are slaves
In your phone in your minds you hide so far away.
speaking drinking talking and thinking you not what ahead lays.
Herded like sheep taught to speak about what you know.
you do not listen or pay attention so soon you all shall know.
The end is nigh we all will die the world is coming slow.
For its all the same and all a game you will never truly show.
Your true emotion thought or devotion it all will end the same.
You all are slaves to what you crave and that will be your grave.

The heart of a dragonfly
Courage he said to his own men as they stood on the break of destruction
But no one spoke for death was close and many knew he wasn't
They joked and said we will all be dead with a captain such as he
But he was a man with sword in hand and a Heart of a dragon fly

The ship wind blew and many men fell unto the deep dark ocean
but the captain stood as tough as wood with courage strength and devotion
They heard a scream it sounded mean it came from the west the captain stood and in hand laid the enemy's head

For 30 days and 30 nights he fought no sleep or food
he rung sword his pistol twords a thousand maybe 2
His men retreated and he was not defeated he kept on and on
Raviour in hand pistol in other he fought until the sun

6000 men lay dead at his feet the battle finally in flight
and just to think it was only one man with the heart of a dragon fly

I'm in love with you

This not a poem
Hello everyone this is not a poem i wrote for fun and only for fun no meaning not one not all not none
Its not that great it's not that cool it's not  made for the wise simply made for a fool. someone who laughs and drinks in the rain so join me my friends and do the same. I'm not saying it doesn't rhyme for it surely does but I'm not quite sure that's how it is done . You see poetry is made of 15 vowels one like duck cat horse girl bird or cow. Syllables and meaning which also mean the same whether equal close separate par or on far lane. but added all together makes a similar sound. Added together in far put vowels

God be with you
For all the fallen in Las Vegas God be with you and may he save us.
An evil deed has been done and some are felt left feeling numb.
You hurt no one but yet received something cruel and dark and mean.
Mothers fathers saved their children as bullets rained down and shot and killed them.
I know your pain iv'e been there to so know I'm always here for you.

War
War
Fire Death in the air i wake up screaming like im back over there,
Mothers father children same all have seem to die in vain.
Soldiers brothers throughout the land fighting combat hand in hand.
Forever and ever i shed a tear for all my brothers i lost in years.

A poem to remember
C130 rolling down the strip airborne ranger on a one way trip mission unspoken destination unknown airborne ranger ain't never coming home
------------------------------------------------------------­----------------------------------
They flew out to a place called Iraq he jumped out the plane he held to his pack he hit the ground rolling he jumped out his gear he led to his marker to find a true fear.
Just 3 klicks that miles for you he lost a good friend but that's nothing new cause out in the desert its hell or its all cause during a war its ***** to the wall.

I write and I write
I write and I type day and by night.
A book full of poem's a heart full of flight.
A dream of another a girl i once knew.
A kiss from an angel a poem that i drew.
Is it art is it tell me oh Devil which condemns me what might it be.
Is it lust is it anger or hate or deceit.
**** you for evil you fooled me again.
I continue to write and it seems for no end.
Save me oh save my readers to be my mind it is broken like glass or a leak.
My soul is condemned for all i have done.
Oh **** it to hell I'm finally done.

Who am I
Am i yet alone is this me is this who i am.
What have i become i am no longer man.
But yet a faded memory of what once was.
A dream a motion a point of lust.
Lust is key to a mind of temptation.
I hate myself but love the wasteful.
I this me why is this me.
Who or what might i just be.

Am i who they say i am
I look in the mirror the face is familiar yet i have not seen it.
I look in her eyes and see all the lies yet i cannot dream it.
I smell her on my clothes i feel her on my skin i know her.
But am i who they say i am.

I know you
I have not seen you nor have we met but i know you.
We have not kissed we have not loved but yet i love you.
We have not smiled and sang a song of love yet i sing of you.
We have not danced on the surface of hardwood floors yet i dream of you.
Who are you
I know you
I was born in the dessert on the moon in a cloud of rain.
I was killed in the summer in the arctic on the mountain plain.
I was kissed by the sea and i touched the sun.
Loved an angel touched her spangles and now I'm on the run.
A dragon touched me set me a fire into a freezing blaze.
I chased the devil into heaven and hell was colder than space.
I married the Goddess and the planets did align.
I wrote a ballad that will stand the test of time.

Yet I'm lonely and it;s more than a state of mind.
