The Old Sailor and The Wench

Old Sail Lore©
The old Sailor and his wench sat together on the bench
looking back upon the years they'd spent together
both a wonderin why they'd never given love a try.
With no regrets he'd picked her out and just caught her
if he could of, as a sailor, he'd just bought her
but just one smell of her perfume as he followed room to room
was enough to realize just why he sought her.
Then she turned to realize this sailor's gaze upon her caught her
in that instant in surprize how much he'd taught her.
Of the times to come, at last, as they whirled by so fast,
spinning memories, building hopes and sharing dreams.
Every day upon the sea, as she prayed he'll marry thee,
he took his watch, passed hand to hand, from son to daughter,
just to buy a plain gold band to one day place upon her hand,
and let her know she filled his dreams with love and laughter.
Alas! It never was to be for he was always out at sea
and the love they'd shown, while even grown, strewn on the water.
Until this day upon this bench, they thought of only love to quench
to fill the years, so full of tears with love and laughter,
so as she bowed her head and prayed, he took her hand and then they made
their future plans as they swore love to one another, and no other.
Upon her hand he placed that ring that caused her heart to swell and sing
as before all, God and king, forever after
they became one on that night as their hearts met in love's flight
the bliss that followed, filled that hollowed life with delight.

IN 1990©

In 1990 our forces took a trip
to remove a small dictator and to take away his whip.
We found him hold'n hostages and make'n them his shield,
but he soon found out our President and country wouldn't yield.

We packed our guns and we lead the coalition
we tried diplomacy at first but it was might slow.
We tried once more while we built up our munitions
Then we ran out of the TALK and WAIT and finally got the "GO"

We kept on with the bomb'n while we talked another round
and the Soviets they tried their best for peace that wasn't found.
Bush gave an ultimatum and Saddam just closed his ears
and the ground war was a commin so we put away our fears.

We moved our guns while Saddam he wasn't look'n
He lost communications and he looked out towards the sea.
He never knew for sure just what the coalitions' cook'n
But in a day or two we knew Kuwait would soon be free

His forces surrendered from the left and then the right
guess the bomb'n got the best of them (at least took out their fight).
Storm'n Norman took the day a classic victory
and our forces found themselves a place in battle's history.

So we pack our guns and dictators take to runn'n
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
They know we're strong and for them we are a gunn'n
From the GULF and Tripoli or anywhere we have to go
From the Gulf and TRIPOLI or anywhere we have to go
From the Gulf and Tripoli or ANYWHERE we have to go

Note: Dedicated to our forces in the Gulf by LT Wayne Jones

Two Weeks©

Two weeks have passed and still no word
yet your still on my mind,
whenever I just dare to chance
I remember ties that bind.
We hope that we're still here the day
we've worked to one another,
because I love you, my beloved,
it is you I want the nearest.
So space between us, at your request
and my respect, its given,
I've chosen still to honor you and will
until I am forgiven
for beyond my judgment in the past with errors
made and blunders,
it is with grace and hope, I pray, forgiveness
and many wonders,
for without your presence in my life
the shell I feel within
will not reveal the chosen path
that without you shan't begin.
So take the time you need my love
for I hope you will discover
that your choices made close by my side
are the best you've made and no other
could love you till their dying day with
all their heartfelt gladness and took the time
beside you, love, to lessen all your sadness.

On my Way to Getting Sound©
You could have been my Valentine with those eyes of yours that shine
and I was ready to heed heart's call to one day make you mine
but burning bridges was your game and you say that I'm insane
at least, my love, my heart strove true and sang it's true refrain.
I gave your heart my history, my psyche to your brain
I let you speak in trust to those who support me with no drain
I did my best to put to rest your worries and your fears
and you went off the deep end, love, with what you've drug for years.
So I take this time within this year, you've sought with legal measure
to hold on to the gifts in time that we truely have to treasure.
We didn't have to part like this, in fact it was quite unpleasant
I feel more like a sitting duck than a glass containing pheasant
but either way the bird is dead, the methods been concealed
you shot me down while flying high but my feet have hit the ground
and all the wounds are now congealed, my flesh you've got your pound
so lets move on, I'll get ahead, on my way to getting sound.

The Picture On Your Wall©

I saw you holding Jamie in that picture on your wall
you both had smiles as big as life as she looked to you, so small
for as you held her up so high the shutter caught the laughs
as the joy you shared completely, echoed sweetly, filled each glass.
As the twinkle in your eyes then, I can see that twinkle still
each time you share a laugh, a smile, a joy that has a will
to fill your life with peace and hope, to build fond memories
to share with someone close to you who like you daily sees
that God has given each a chance to have life on their own
but shared with Him, lifes never dim, its potential will be shown.
Now as I pray most every night that picture comes to mind
for I believe He sent me here so I would surely find
the lady in the picture that I have grown to love
and that is why I tell Him thanks for His guidance from above.

By Heaven's Light©

I asked you if you'd marry me, as your breath caressed my ear,
then both you and I came close, as one facing monumental fear.
For trust to reach us now, has hope, as we cling to one another
coping, praying, giving, staying, finding now we have each other.

Yes, you make me laugh, you make me sing I pray our wedding bells to ring
on through that night, with love's delight, we'll cresendo with our symbol.
For this love thats shared, our lives repaired, we shall grow from here together,
never feeling any tether, just creating our own weather, always knowing it is better
to remain close by His side, letting God and love just guide,
through storms darkness till the dawn,
when our fears and pains are gone and His joy and peace is ours,
we'll accept love by the hours and let it glow by heaven's ight.

Christmas Box©

I gave my love a Christmas box, my poems for to hold
in hopes that she would read each one and know why I'm so bold.
You see I want to spend my life, both nights and single days
just holding her and touching her until our strands of grays
tell all the world we've spent our time together by God's plan
and what a pleasure this man has in just walking hand in hand
beside the streams just sharing dreams and schemes of things to come
we've found for us the factors that when two, our ones' the sum.
So if some day she'll marry me, a dream of mine fullfilled,
I'll pray each day I'm granted is a day her heart is mine
for until my shell is planted she must feel that shes' devine.
And at final rest, inside my box, my soul at last set free
will soar into the heavens because she spent her life with me.
