Welcome to Gaia! ::

In case you don't visit my profile to read them, here is some of my poetry... sweatdrop

A Sonnet:

Wilting Hearts

The shadows cast by fervent dreams reflect
The scorching sanguine secret’s racing pulse
Which drowns the cries of Love with sinful force.
A prelude to an act which God rejects.
The cordial bonds will break and fear project
Upon the souls of lovers on this course
And left they’ll be with feelings of remorse
For soaring blood so rank with ill intent.

Yet love cannot grow strong without the tests
That men and women place upon themselves
By dancing to a tune at Lust’s behest.
And so a romance needs to well invest
O, Not in the desires, but that which delves
The love to depths beyond a mere int’rest.

I Find it Hard to be at Peace
(in response to the US in Iraq)

I find it hard to be at peace
When trouble lurks ‘round ev’ry bend
And They still ask our strength to lend
And so we go to fight a war.
I find it hard to be at peace
When friends are lost and fam’lies torn.

Where never I would go to stay
Our loved ones go there anyway.
The battles rage on overseas…
I wonder how they maintain hope.
I find it hard to be at peace
While soldiers search for ways to cope
With aching hearts and sun scorched souls
As I at home read the death tolls.

I myself will never be
One of those who bear their load.
The strain would be too much for me –
To work so hard and never cease.
Their valiant efforts lain to waste.
I’ll never find myself at peace
While they are bound to winding roads
While they with hostile sneers are faced.
But they can rest assured of this:
Each moment they are sorely missed.

I find it hard to be at peace was my favorite, for obvious reasons >.>

I go in september. Hell, that's 6 weeks away. I almost feel as if time's coming to an end, and I'm not even infantry. Hell, I'm maintanence, and may never be in harms way. But a year away from my newlywed wife? Away from my home, family, and culture? Working gods know how many hours a day in heat to rival hell itself? Not looking forward to it. Good news is, I get done with that, I'm halfway done with my first contract. I know a few months from now it'll become just another day at the job, but I cannot see that now.
