Michael's Story
-A Soldier's Life Story
I thought I used to rule the world
When slept out under the stars
The sun would rise just for me
When I used to sail the open seas
Nights, I used to own the streets
Protect them all, with no moon light
The crowd often sang our praise
As we would roll through the towns
Our armies ran to defend and protect
You could see the fear, in our enemies
Once, I was even honored by a King
Back then, I thought I ruled the world
We were as emissaries on foreign soils
Building so many castles in there sands
With our words revolutions died down
And when we left, I knew of no honest man
There was a time I protected world leaders
Then, everyone used to call us a friend
Most days I controlled oh, so many lives
Then on one, my world crashed around
Suddenly, my head exploded, my body limp
Remembering the thundering Calvary past, as
Sounds of guns and drums shattered windows
Many wept as the church bells rang loudly
When I arrived up above the clouds
My armor and weapons laid out polished
But, for some reason, I'll never know
Everyone was telling me to go back
Some people often still recall my name
And ask where I've been, but I'm not sure
So now, every morning, I wake alone
Just feeling lost, confused, old and grey

-Moonlight-n-Stars,
Knights-on-Beaches,
Roses-n-You
Cool breezy tropical nights, tickle and chill
Toes twisting in white satin sandy beaches
With the fires warmth, I still pull you closer
Too many dreams, and stars under moonlight
Cuddling close, with you, stirs my passions
The tenderest touches and light caresses
Your eyes do sparkle and dance among them
Tweaking a geeks thoughts towards verboten
The red wine ...Expand for more
moistens across your red lips
Glistening full and pouty, me staring aimless
Making my heart skip beats, justly wanting
Sparkling images anew, amidst my dreams
Then there's those dozens of red velvet roses
Because I buy, you treasure more than I know
And as always, here's me, next to you, again
Thinking much about it, and being next to me
Holding hands, making so many memories
Wanderlust heart reposes, the dreams
Under the moonlight, hearts and minds
With beautiful thoughts, a kiss discloses
Moonlight-n-roses,
Will bring memories of you

-Heroes, Horses, and Dreams of Love...
I was told stories of Heroes on White Horses
And that's all I ever dreamed of
Rescuing Princess, then dancing thru night
And finding my own True Love
But, it seems as you start growing older
Those dreams lose their light, and the glow
As if they were picked up and held too often
Then you forget to take them out one day
The Heroes and Horses in their shining armor
And the Princess's have all gone their way
I've waited just a little too long, now to realize
I forgot to be the one coming to save your day
I've spent too much time building the Castles
On these distant Sands, that washed to sea
I thought I had been forging our tomorrows
Now, Aged, I'm still looking, longing to find you
As I stand here and stare, just glare in the mirror
Waiting to see my Princess, longing for her kiss
But, I find myself standing, standing all alone
Wondering how, when, where... did I pass you by
I still hold to stories of Heroes on White Horses
And rescuing the Princess, holding her till light
I know she's still out there... waiting for her Hero
Hoping to find True Love writing across the Sands
