British Army Veteran

I am a british army veteran, Once I stood to take an oath, I signed a cheque of no amount For queen and country both I never fought in combat, But stood beside a few, Who did and some of which, You may have even knew. We trained to stand…

RECOVERY

The epic centre of emotion, Explodes from sober depths, Rushing to the surface, We know not what happens next. A surge of pressure far beyond, Which the complexity of mind, Could fathom in a hundred years, A tidal wave of fear we find From waters depths we found the sunshine,…

HUMAN NATURE

Upon ones thoughts both sides face war, For the pleasing mind a choice means chore, Burning flames of fear inside, One wants to fight, one wants to hide.. Incoming rounds of the emotional kind, Piercing through the gentle mind, Explosive flutters of fear within, The belly of good buried in…

Born Again

Your the angel in my darkness The void that fills my hole Your The every beat that pumps my heart The meaning to my soul Your eyes see good that lies beneath The tainted skin above Your the Noah to my ark The relaser of my dove You woke me…

The best of us…

If your best is what you give Then the best you'll always be As life's silver spoon makes no room For the likes of you and me... If there's fruits you wish to Harvest Or lands you wish to sew Then take my hand To distant land And far across…

I WANT TO BE A SOLDIER

I want to be a soldier Be brave stand tall and still I want to fight my corner And defend my own free will My friend would be a stranger Standing by my side And in those times of danger Be with me for the ride My dad would be…

Hearts and Minds…

Wars are fought with weapons, they're won with hearts and minds. The minds of combat soldiers and the hearts they leave behind.. Fear feeds all things evil, soon all must make a choice.. Line the pockets of the devil, or make Satan hear your voice! Courage without fear, is not…

High Tides…

Loves much like the ocean, As its tides drift in and out. Not often noticed when high tides in, But apparent when its out. With high tides there comes the driftwood, From shores yet still unknown, Brings with a message in its bottle, Of greater things to come. Low tides…
