The first step is Radical honesty With ourselves We don't intervene We invade That's not "Collateral damage" Those are The corpses Of children And their parents Ours is not defense Ours is war

Ours is War
Wednesdays are solitary shadows Stretching across my skin Imprisoned in this week and you caught me off guard again Where your smile is a hello and my face is your doormat Lay you baggage down and welcome in problems I listen, listen, listen Until everything floods in with a kiss and I tell you What you want to hear Then you fade with Thursday Leaving a photograph as your calling card Black and white, we are And I am left waiting to hear your laughter Feel your touch And changing the locks

Wednesday
Bountiful Land They invaded this land because they thought it was rich With bountiful natural resources and endless wealth And a population to be enslaved against their will The battles were long and arduous but they finally won Another victory carved on their war axe With thousands of soldiers killed or wounded or missing This was nothing compared to the defenders Destruction was almost complete and off the scale Scorched earth policies and a will not to lose were to blame But lose they did to a superior enemy force Who now controlled a land of ashes and subjugated inhabitants But that was fine for under the ground there were riches Oil, gas, diamonds, coal, varied metal ores and much more This would further their wealth and war production and killing But it was all a lie… Rock samples proved it was a second Japan A barren land of nothing except dust, grit and dirt The invaders fell for the biggest lie in human history They had conquered a barren infertile land Involuntarily following the Devil’s actions to the letter His puppets on Earth killing for the lie of plunder And watched all the while by the witch Satan’s biggest enemy in the biggest war there was She waited and got ready to strike her blow With weapons never yet used on Earth

Bountiful Land
my thoughts have invaded continents long before descending on this mind of mine

thoughts over matter
I was home alone Sitting in my room When ringing invited itself into my home A package has been delivered I jumped up My feet barely touching the ground And made my way to the door It was another summer day Soft wind blowing Trees rustling in the distance Birds singing joyful songs of freedom As I open the door The smell of summer morning slaps me in the face Telling me it’s time to wake up I grab the package My fingers swiftly graze the tape My eyes wonder And fear holds me tight An invader I realize I’m in grave danger A scream leaves my lips Dropping the package I run inside I close the door and look through the sparkling glass window There he sits On the side of my fence Chirping knowing that he’s in power Behind me walks my knight in shining armor Calmly making her way towards me Minding her own business Fear takes the lead And I reach for help Quickly opening the door I swing her short furry legs Once Twice And on the third time Boom Target is down Tears find themselves in my eyes And camp in for a while I thank my cat For saving my life And we go back home to eat Never to speak of what happened again

The invader
Be A Russian For one day Whisper And paint Icons Symbols In gold Draped in satin Beware of hope It will grip you Make you into a Mongol Control your mind Destroy your abode Invade the holdfast Become neat Organized Fight to breathe

Russian Tartar
I look into your eyes And I see so much love. The love that you hide, That you hope the world Will not notice. But I notice. The love you possess Rises from your perfect skin Like a morning mist, That few get to actually enjoy. You might have told Yourself you don't want me to, But I feel your love all around me In everything that I do. I feel it When my eyes first open each beautiful morning, I feel it With each necessary breath That I take, I feel it With each choice I blindly make, And I feel it When the Blackness of life Starts to invade my soul And it rescues me... It's always there Like a quiet shadow Following me on an empty street, When the world Makes me feel so lost and alone, It saves me everyday.... Whether you know it or not, YOU SAVE ME... And I LOVE YOU TOO.

I Love You Too
What am I to do when you invade my life? What am I to do when you refuse to say goodbye? What am I to do when you lie, lie, lie? What am I to do? What am I to do when you overstep your boundaries? What am I to do when you can't seem to stop? What am I to do when I feel all alone? What am I to do when I want it all to end? What am I to do when I just give up? I give up. That's the end. The end.

What am I to do?
I find it a bit intrusive how you talk to me in my sleep simply to hear the secrets I keep.
