A name

A black and white woman stands on the edge
Feet buried, water still, coming up to the shore.
Footprints surround her, stamped by each one.
She displays a short skirt, held by a white button
A U.S Navy shirt, received from her lover.
Hair, pulled back away from her glowing face by a head band,
Rests bountifully on her neck; full, wavy, dark.
Her figure is divine, stocky legs broad chest
Decadent chin and check bones.
She stares down while her lover snaps;
His gaze upon her.
A smile; knowing she is loved
A smile filled in their world.

Reveille

The overwhelming truth and awareness shocks your senses
You don't dare widen your view
Averse at what will be discovered
Muscles tense; beg to be stretched
You breath, as your upper body lifts to the ceiling
Exhale and sink back into your cave
Toes reach for the cold exposure
Arms extend to clutch the air
Then again compress your body like a slinky being pulled and pushed back together
The informer howls in your ear, a never ending sharp reminder
But you treat it as the if the wind just swept through the window
Immersing yourself into the dark oblivion
You feel the warmth of your body and breath
The time elapsed is unknown
But your mind, body, and soul pleads for more and laments.

Dormir

Goodnight.
Give everything I need to make the children smile
Filled with the knowledge to have them never look down.

Goodnight.
Let the happiness that will sustain me for the rest of my life rush through me like a coaster drop.
That the grasp of untangled fingers is the completeness millions seek.

Goodnight.
A nomad on the earth, time after time through the slick burning sky,
with the never ending push for whats to come.

Goodnight.
Find the passion that's hidden under the skin.
Find the hardship that's worth the work.

Goodnight.
Let the days melt upon you with hope and self-worth.
Let the world see what i see in our reflection.

Goodnight.
