Dedication

To anyone that has ever graced me with a minute of their time. All of my encounters have helped me to put together a collection of works from emotional turmoil as an adolescent to monumental experiences as a combat veteran. To you I say Thank you!

Part I

PART I

One’s Days Before…

Precious

That you will always be

I loving you eternally

For when we part

That of my heart

You hold

Please,

Handle with care

For I fear

No matter what you do

Once we’re through

The emptiness shall remain

And for I

Heavenly love

Is now

Mundane pain

A Quiet Tongue

Why do I speak with a quiet tongue?

That of which limits my fun

Articulators come to a halt

Knowing it’s not their fault

One upon another each of them cover

Moving only when summoned by others

Until the time
