Raindrops...


Many still here with us
Too many left without a fuss
Fell like drops of rain
Upon blood thirsty terrain
Far, far away leaving all behind
Home in the back of the mind
Under flame scorched sky
Head hung to cry
Watch your buddy die
In silence you sigh,
"Goodbye, My Friend, Goodbye!"
Raindrops from the sky
Remember those heartless fields
Where fear never yields
MaryLou crossing your mind
That love left far, far behind
Remember that trench; your bed
Your Home when you're dead
Beneath that bitter sky
Head hung to cry
Watch your buddy die
In silence you sigh,
"Goodbye, My Friend, Goodbye!"
Raindrops from the sky

The snap of a twig.....

The beauty of my dearest wife
Snapped like a twig from life
Thieving are the Otherworldly...
To steal her presence from me
I care little who I crank
Now so little reason to thank
They didn't allow me to go fore
To galantly open the door
No, they plunged her into uncertainty
Thereby they toy with my sanity
To add to my disgrace
Death laughs in my face
Whilst I die inside
He courts his new Bride
Carrying her over the threshold
As my blood runs cold
Missing my dearest wife
Snapped like a twig from life
