The following is based on an actual mission by special operators behind enemy lines -- quiet soldiers all that go on the most dangerous missions without fanfare, news coverage, or acknowledgment other than by their brothers and sisters in arms. Heroes one and all. ___________________________________________ Behind enemy lines you gave your life, The risks you knew and embraced willingly, Red, black and green berets fought by your side, And brought your body back to family. The freedom I enjoy comes thanks to you, And all who serve with honor, proud and true. Later in a ritual of their own, They would name a field airport in your name, And honor you, your brothers, far from home, Their memory now your eternal flame. The freedom I enjoy comes thanks to you, And all who serve with honor, proud and true. I do not know your rank, your name, your face, I only know that I am in your debt, Who for your family can take your place? Our debt to them we must never forget. The freedom I enjoy comes thanks to you, And all who serve with honor, proud and true. Rest in peace, all quiet soldiers, heroes all. I'll always see you in the flag you never let fall.

Death of a Quiet Soldier -- Poem, Lyrics and link to song (free)
Replicating thoughts—reptile skins, changing shadows, down to earth; repping tiles— :revolving doors, resolving morals through cutthroat self-worth; like ice-cold Sprite slicing my throat— lime seeds bite, then lemon trees from words; what I spit, I plant— pain grows proof, even when it hurts. A six-pack that hurts from trading sixpacks, late nights; uncontrollable forces still, I force control within— a brown stain on white forces, forces me to face what shows; at least a piece of white remains, at least a piece of growth still grows, even when it feels slow.

Discipline equals Growth
all things add up to today's conclusions, those strange experiences, very much out of the norm some unseen hand was definitely out to **** me and at times very nearly succeeded but for another unseen hand that saved me. and all those long boring hours for daydreaming, school was an unexpected chance to use my imagination, not quite what the school had in mind....

unexpected chance to use my imagination
While the moon makes her entrance, The maiden gazes at the stars, The sun goes through the plane, The great eclipse of the heart is formed. She tries finding her self in the colliding world, Two opposing forces going through her. She withdraws her gaze, But always has to turn back. How she wishes she could move forward or escape, Like skipping the time or going through time, But the only way is to be the time.

Parallel Forces Within
Who are we the soldiers, the airmen and Jack Tars. We who keep on serving, neath blazing sun or stars. We don't crave attention, we don't make a fuss. Our service goes unnoticed , no one thinks of us. We are someone's brother, mother, father, son. A sister or a daughter to some their only one. But we've another family, one we've grown to love as well A family who stand with us when we are going through hell. We've bonds that go unbroken even death can't take away Friendship, trust, togetherness each and every day. You hear the cries "for valour," or "for god and country" too But what is oft forgotten is our service is for you. So all we ask is simple, on a cold November day. For our colleagues that  have left us please bow your head and pray.

Service
A tiny ember. It nibbles at kindling. It is now a marble. It is fragile and weak, and things appear bleak. It bites at twigs. It is now an egg. Its glow radiates red. The fire is not dead. Smoke is revealed. It gnashes at sticks. It is now a head. It twists and spins, with a crack and a snap. The twigs grow black. The ash falls to soil. It devours the logs. It is now too much. It slashes and weaves. The world cracks and trembles. The air quivers in fear, and is dryer than bone. Sirens wail in the air. The ground is bare. Helicopters arrive, and water descends. It roars in pain. The fire has now been slain. Everybody leaves, sighing with relief. In death, it tries. It leaves something. A gift. A tiny ember.

Flames
The bonding forge of palm on palm Breaks my shield, dissolves my calm; Your hands trace earthquakes down my spine, Awakening every nerve of mine. You ignite my skin with a lightning flash, Electric tremors pulse and pass, Each fingertip becomes a molten brand That sears desire across my land. When lips meet, our worlds collapse Passion fractures these synaptic maps; Your embrace, a crushing tidal force, Leaves my gravity without a course. Magnetic fever pulls us close, As currents crush and silence prose. Each brush of skin sends shockwaves deep, Where primal energy coils and leaps. Heated fusion erodes the mantle, Boundaries burn and souls entangle, Your touch conquers my universe Intent with the need to be immersed. ©️Lizzie Bevis

Haiku / Senryu #18 - Natural Forces
The Earth, The highest form of honesty Earth has no motive, it is just being Pure integrity, pure electricity Sending out dynamic forces to its occupants It runs through the ground And is transferred To you, to me And just like that we are pulled A smile from across the room A magnetic within our souls Unintentional, innocently planted electrifying The highest form of honesty Mistaken for the ultimate betrayal

Dark forces Stealing time Through inflation’s daily climb Printing money Come what may Though the poorest have to pay Dark forces Surveilling you Watching what you say and do With the motive To control Shaping you - their stated goal Dark forces Creating naught They just live off what you’ve got Higher taxes They decide We work hard - yet incomes slide Dark forces Anger and fear When they see - Bitcoin is here Bringing hope Shining light On dark forces, with truth and right

Dark Forces (Bitcoin Poem 065)
We're riding bikes on this trip known as life In midnight hours Facing wind with a hefty amount of risk mixed with intoxication adorning my head with an imaginary crown in place of where nonexistent helmet should be Drunk not on alcohol Instead from the countless tears formed by self-hatred Soul-boiling Hot liquid bubbling over edges of my eyelids I hope we find our way We travel without light guiding our direction Two insignificant nomads blindly navigating this vast existential void Attempting to reach sort of adequate destination before time reaches us Held together by fingers and an invisible magnetism more powerful than the unknown forces pulling and prodding around us at all angles And led forward by our hearts

Nomads
Turning in bed throughout the night Pestered by demons Didn't invite The last thing wanna do is face my pain It's the only subject boiling on my brain You said not to worry and stress without cause Know no other way of coping with my flaws Is it easy for everyone else to show themselves love? Self- loathing drags me down and I cannot rise above First doubt creeps in like 5 o'clock shadows Insults that start small and then grow On mind like frost coating a thin layer of ground Freezing to the insecurity to which I am bound Last night's insomnia paints bags under eyes Circles so deep and dark they can't even be disguised I eat up lies you dish out like I haven't been fed in weeks Hungry because gut never finds the nourishment it seeks The distractions I consume to fill the void only render me more hollow Skeleton becomes a nest of pity in which I choose to wallow Fears bloom faster than blossoming flowers Watered by teardrops that pour out in showers Within bones The middle where marrow should be Instead filled with stones Inside skin a storm is raging complete with lightning and thunder Perished as teardrops poured Presently pain pulls me under I quickly surrender to rain clouds in the sky Working to save my soul Guess it is time to accept that in this universe some forces are beyond my control

The soul is something to nurture To be touched with gentle hands Will only blossom when cared for By someone who understands And your eyes feel like a dagger Piercing through my skin Puncturing vulnerable parts Hidden deep within Once full of serenity and strength My body now lies hollow An ocean of potential dried up Empty pit where demons wallow Drawing me in against my will Like a fish caught on a line Powerless to escape the hook Captivity hard to define Freedom drowned in a sea of regret Pulled by the tide's direction Swept up in the undertow Waves crash and silence objection Reasons remain a mystery My heart caged without knowing why Held hostage by past transgressions Imprisoned by forces too great to defy

Hostage
They say that scale can break the laws of science A crime so high in magnitude Yet they cannot police This bully that reality turns out to be We met by means of tunneling improbabilities The kiss of a miracle Punishing the God complex Of the self-righteous Because the real laws, unknowable, Dwell in realms higher than dogmatic notion Whose knowledge is the surface of an ocean Hence judgement cannot be Wrought by the swimmers And their fear of mortality That guides them through the waves And so their laws are the transgression And We Are the justice of the storm

Wonders
Translated by Przemyslaw Musialowski 11/9/2019 From boulder to boulder, I was standing on a fragile plank that separates light from darkness, death from life, over the huge explosion of the precipice foamed... Below me, the roar and beating of the wings of a dark night. Through the moist floor of the moss tapestries, the abyss is growling and, like a hound, rattling with the chain... At my feet its foams, its anger, its howling... I trample them, I strike them with lightning bolts... I am just a shade. From boulder to boulder, I've descended under the mad assault of waters, ferociously rushing at me and at the the abyss, stunned by the simultaneous firing of a hundred death's guns. And suddenly I felt like a light bird feather, carried far away from the quiet marina by the breeze, and trembling, I covered my eyes... I was just daydreaming. Maria Konopnicka (1842-1910)

From Boulder To Boulder
Sometimes all you have is the forces within you. Sometimes all you have to listen to is the sound of those forces crashing like the ocean waves. Sometimes all you sense is the internal motion and vibration of the opposing forces within you. The forces of love and hate that's found in everything. The forces of good and evil that govern human emotions, the forces of growth and stagnation that drive productivity and the force of artistry that fuels and enhances creativity. #Ivanbrookspoetry©️ 15.6.2019

A short story of who I am A drastic change thanks to time A young lass with angels learning to dance But the devils thought it's better to rhyme Got locked in a box of words Knowing letters as the only swords With it fighting kings and lords No running, only training voice chords Words as loud as explosions Passion hot as fire Wasting paper after paper Ink never ending, heart never tires For the devils control her mind And angels control her brain Both fighting to win the war And the young lass is trying to stay sane

Another year has come to a violent end yet again the people do not disappoint death destruction chaos misery abound nothing different to those times before as always nature the master of mankind with other malicious forces is entwined! Another unknown year is about to start here we go again into the twilight zone full of uncertainty where nothing is clear so may I just add Happy New Year! #TheFoureyedPoet.

Happy New Year!
That which is invisible moves the most. The greatest forces those that can’t be seen. To feel we are influenced by a ghost, To feel what our fragile emotions mean. Wind, electricity and gravity, Anger, kindness, sorrow, comfort and pain, The measure of a heart’s capacity, Missing a loved one you won’t see again. Happiness and joy, mournfulness and peace, The connection between two lovers’ souls, A sense of time where time will never cease, The need to be under divine control. Manifestations of our God above, His unseen force a model for our Love.

Sonnet To The Invisible
Friendship is like A diapole diapole interaction Two different Entities Positive and negative Attracted to each other Best friendship Is like a hydrogen bond Still a diapole diapole but stronger Only possible in the presence of A hydrogen Someone in the relationship Able to keep it afloat A London dispersion Force Is like a pleasant acquaintance Someone you get along with But no strong emotional ties To hold you there Just Small talk An ion diapole bond Is like A difficult relationship Opposites attract But you’re bonded So strongly ... That eventually one Of you just starts To tear the other apart Like salt in water

Intermolecular Forces
Illuminated by the moon. Her whispers come to me. I show her that I listen, I'll prove her that I see. In a white summer dress, barefoot by the creek, with my loose long hair and my soft pink cheeks. Almost midnight time, stones, herbs and tree barks, kneeling on the grass, going over ancient marks. My silver hoops sparkle and I begin to recite a beesech to a force unnoticeable to the sight. Developed energies. Astral effect; my state of mind goes higher so my wish I can project. I feel its presence; It thickens the air. The wind blows stronger. I can feel its piercing stare. I command you my will and I order you to bow as I start to float inside the circle baring my tar black soul. The moon is still there, up there in the dark sky. It giggles and whispers: You belong to the night.

Whispers from the moon.
I miss you even though you are here Miss you not by name By how my feelings really are We both know it is not the same A week can last an eternity When there is love set in my heart Forces on the outside Determined to keep us apart I miss you even though you are here Sitting down next to me I do not miss you at all I miss how things used to be
