"ssgt" poems
SSGT Sky
do you remember
sitting so close together
letting our skin brush the others
but never allowing our eyes to meet?
and I was just 14
but I knew exactly who you were to me
and you were almost 18
almost a marine
The callow acts of our youth
can cut deep
my heart always ruled the roost
governed by altruistic spontaneity
and with every blind leap
you were there, looking after me
SSGT Sky
do you remember the week I turned 18
you returned from overseas
remember the bed we made on the beach
your hands shook as they traveled the length of me
and we were just kids
though your innocence was stripped
I knew exactly who I was to you,
and I tried to replenish all of it
But the callow acts of youth
they cut deep
SSGT Sky
do you remember forgetting that we belonged together?
and how I thought I was jaded by those who came after?
until the night before you left
you showed me the pillow that you'd kept
and with my hair tie on your wrist
you kissed me like you'd never loved another
I was a lost 23
until I remembered exactly who you were to me
you were almost 27
a special ops marine
the callow acts of our youth
remedied
my heart always ruled the roost
governed by altruistic spontaneity
and with every blind leap
you were there looking after me
SSGT Sky
our fallen marine
did you still wear my hair tie on your wrist
when you remembered your last memory?
and of your last thoughts
did you take comfort in any of me?
The callow acts of our youth
can cut deep
my heart always ruled the roost
governed by altruistic spontaneity
and with every blind leap
you will remain
looking after me.

When I was superman I could fly
higher than a ferris wheel
up in the sky
'All the way up there
Where the satellites could knock you down
where a laser beam can hit your head
make you tumble
When I was superman I was living
out of town
Overseas, somewhere I cannot disclose
And I was looking for that perfect gal
but, all I found were secret agents and spies
Her name was sara foster
and I don't think I've ever had better
than that tech. busted down to SSgt.
or the blonde imitation of her
Many girls lost many stripes
when losing it upstairs
Satellites travel fast
the coffee served made [for] even faster
Running after work
Running away later
Running and Still Running
like the water[fall] [EL] Cap-y-tan
