Protector and Savior
Savior of Peace
Make war not love
To save the ones you love...

Sacrifice
Suffer for others that is your vice
Live while others die
Just a roll of the die

A calling...
Lover's wait for that call
Call one last time
To say it was his time
He passed away
Away in a far off land

Taking up arms
Forced from his lover's arms
Fighting the good fight
Left alone at night...

Devoid of her company
A company of heroes
Giving it all
All for one and one for all.

Honor for your life
A life honor bound
With a price to pay
For the crimes of another

Worlds away
Away from the world you know
No room for fear
Fear heaven's out of room

Saints guide your step
One mis-step
Follows the last
Your future has now passed

Standing as brothers
Missing another
Each a story
Yet told

Day to Day
A new place
Weather worn face
With all new fears to face...

Baptism by fire
Fire your gun
Fallen brothers
Their crying mothers

Pull the trigger
A decision, a snap decision
Or rounds snap snap snap
snap this silence

**** to live
Live to ****
Forced to action
Action of force

Necessity is his weapon
Safety off
Off to secure your safety
Driven by some danger

Answer the call
A call to duty
To fulfill
Fulfill your destiny

Legacy
So much life left to see
Yet blind to me
Is the key

Peace is fake
Faked to pick up the peaces
Of mistakes
Mistakes still made

Now we pay
Pay this price
Price of our lives
Lives spent

Wasted on that foreign soil
Still they toil
Facing enemies
Enemies of who?

Not a man's but a nations
Nations call on their own
To own their failures
In times less sure...

When feelings fail
One is left behind
Once new words, now fall stale
Familiar feelings maybe I will find

Is it so wrong to be attached?
Two hearts so well matched
Well I thought it so...
Doubts in my head it did sow

Who felt more?
The question burns at my core
To know now what's further in store
What is meant to be?
What is to become of you and me?

If you hold your heart back
You'll never know what is true
Where we are going, me and you
These answers, I still lack

Neither you nor I
Can say for sure
To guess is but a lie
To leave my heart sore
In lacking an answer now
I can't see how

To face this...
I've left my feelings bare
Open to the world and its judging stare
So whats inside
What do you hold back there?
Speak or not, now you decide

Is it worth it
Those days I cried
Over moments when I tried
It's fine, we both lied

I am an open book
May your fear
Be just something I mistook
I need you here
At my side
In my arms
I can say I tried
To convince you now with all my charms

I'm here to stay
I'll partake of this game
I'll put in the work, I'm happy to play
With you, they are one in the same

Every moment an adventure.

Shadows stand tall,
Gentle moonlight did fall.
Around us as we wept,
In moments of joy the sadness was swept.

Away from this place,
Softly I did hold your face.
Dancing in our shadows,
Our love no one yet knows...

Music of the heart did play

Our Silhouettes cast upon a dawn sky,
My hand in yours....
A touch from which we do not shy
Lead us now to safer shores.

A gap to bridge,
Between strangers.
Protect you now from unknown dangers.
Your loneliness I will abridge.

One half is mine
The other of your design.
Piece together our own fantasy
In center, you and me.

In sync with this beat
Our bodies now meet.
Support each other
Love no other.

Uplift you
Prove this is true
Veiled in white
Your beauty fills my sight

I do, I do,
I need to be with you
Under steeple stands
Couple with clasped hands
Waiting to be bound
Just as we were found

Wanting of love,
Lips now meet.
A babe's new cries this world does greet.
Held in mothers arms.
Keep her free from all kinds of harm.

Called to serve
Steel your nerve
On desert sands
Guns replace your lover's hands

In the shade of palms
Your world weary palms
Fall to the Earth
A soul free'd from its berth

Half a world away
What can she say
A mothers loss,
Flowers on a lonely cross.

Daughters hands where his did hold.
Left without a father
Thoughts do bother...
Where is father?

Faithful traitor,
My own vindicator.
Loyal to the end,
Still disguised as a friend.

Stalwart paragon,
Among those too far gone.
Betrayal a means to right,
Cleanse corrupted insight.

Faith placed in you,
misguided, yes its true.
A traitor,
makes salvation all the greater.

Now I see,
the pain you caused me.
Was meant to steer,
Your reason, I would not hear.

Faithful to me in betrayal,
Painted a dark portrayal.
Of the kindness you did pay,
What else can I say?

My faithful traitor.
My heart you did break,
Still not free of that ache.
Cast a stone at my brow,
Your love I did disavow.

You take it in,
my failure my own sin.
Saving me from my own-self,
Brought this down on myself.

Traitor yes to my eyes,
brought free from my demise.
Thank you for your trust,
the truth solely your lust.

Laughter lights my soul,
Two lives set alight.
Brought together tonight.
We're just taking flight,
So why don't you make me whole?

Hopelessly romantic,
That's my tic.
Head ******* on straight,
for the future I dare not wait.

Dreams of love,
Questions of what lies above.
Measured out in my mind.
Where I belong not yet defined.

Lovesick heart.
Me and love, never far apart.
Joy in another's eyes.
Life from her amorous sighs.

Peace found in action.
Thoughts seeking some extraction.
Seemingly condemned by my own heart.
Too late to begin again, to restart.

Lost in a lover's gaze.
My thoughts raise this endless maze.
Step after step I take.
Often enough a mistake.

But still one in a million.
She's the one I have my eyes set on.
I'll be the soldier, she the civilian.
Ever there, to be relied upon.

To be needed.
Then I know I have succeeded.
Lover not a fighter.
I'm my story's own writer.
