Better post some poetry before "The Mad Limericker" strikes again...
Here is something short but sweet that I did. :c)

"When I"

When I see her smile, when I see her face;
When I hear her laugh, it sends me into space
When I hear her voice, when I see her grin;
When I look into her eyes, I want to fall right in
When I think of her, when I dream of My Light;
When I feel her touch, I want to hold her tight.

Death and destruction
Disease and devastation
Despair and dejection
Where oh where would we be
Without the letter D

Hav'nt posted here recently, so this will make up for all fo those missing "Daily Doses of Doggy"


"War Again"

Indestructible
A long lost love
Ever shaking
My own white dove

What is peace?
What is War?
Knocking always
On my front door

I am America
Hear me cry
I slit my own wrist
And I lay down and Die

Forever here
Forever gone
Here to stay
Life in the non

War has scarred me
War is crime
War is murder
War is slime

Ok, Lets talk about war then....

"Last Man Standing"

Walking through a nuclear Hell,
Stepping over human shells.
Holocaust all around
No one else left to make a sound.
The heat freezes your bones
The decimation leaves you all alone
Listen to your coffin wheeze,
Weak, you fall to your knees.
Fallout rotting your brain,
World's population laying slain.
The Reaper's work is almost done,
Hunting down you, the last one.
Feeling Death's touch, you leave it all behind,
The annihilation of Mankind.

Technical Difficulties

As I gazed into my face in the mirror,
I was horrified to find that all of its vitality, all of its life,
In essence, my very being,
Was drained out of me and that I was merely
The external portion, the frame.
I was still there, but it was like an old photograph: faded and worn.
Was it still me?

As a Christian,
I am taught to have complete faith in God.
But, at these times,
The lowest in some time,
Even God cannot comfort me.
I isolate myself from His power.

I want to fall into despair,
But when I try, it's empty.
There's nothing there.
I'm depressed. I'm worried. I'm scared.
Am I really crazy, as I've feared?
Alone. Alone. Alone.
This house is not my home.

wow, nice one Jessiac, heres a new one from the doggy for all ya'll to enjoy, or not enjoy, but who knows?


" I Lament For Existance"

"I Lament" (part 1 of 2)

No one expects the obvious
Only God can know the truth
I sit and cry and pray
For else would be uncouth

Destruction all around me
Can God protect me now?
If I were to die this instant
Could God defend me? How?

How can this "God" allow
Injustices and death
If God is the almighty
Will he be there in my last breath?

Because my breath is every breath,
Of the healthy and the sick
And because no one lives forever
Burned down has been our wick

"For Existence" (part 2 of 2)

We think ourselves immortal,
And we think ourselves as great
But we are not even a speck
On St. Peters' holy gate

Will this life we know burn out?
Since ten thousand years at most
Have we been on this planet
A four billion year old host

So the answer is "of course"
We'll run our path as planned
Our soul to meet our maker
Our body to meet the land

I Know now how our God
Can allow senseless despair
For we are just another raindrop
Fell on a desert bare

This is probably my favorite poem I've written to date, and I hope that all who read it will enjoy it as well...
