When I'm Dead And Gone

When I'm dead and gone
At my funeral don't play another sad song
I wanna see tears of joy not of sorrow
Remember this day for it will be gone tomorrow
I want people to celebrate my death day
The same way they celebrated my birthday
Remember the good things I've done in my life, and forget the bad
Remember our love, cause at times that's all we had
When I'm dead and gone, who would really miss me?
I would hope that the memory of me make people happy
I'd like to say I'm sorry to all those I've done wrong
And thanks to all who showed me love my whole life long
I have to get these feelings out before I'm dead and gone
Same may wonder why I'm doing this poem
Maybe I feel like my life is reaching its final storm
I rather say this right now right here
Cause later I may not be able to say nothing I fear
No I'm not ready to meet death.
But I rather for you to know now,
Then when I'm dead and gone to be thinking something else.

I Dream, Do You

Do you have dreams, Well I do
I dream of wonderful things
I dream of things yet to come
I dream of things some may say is dumb
I dream of love not just the word I mean real love
I dream of of a place where there is no war
I dream of a good answer to what we fight for
I dream of floating in the clouds free with no worry
I dream of a president who can just say sorry
I dream of reading a book thats begins with 'what is hate'
I dream of a country, thats completely great
I dream of life beyond the one we live today
I dream of a time when all kids do is learn and play
Ok time to wake up to reality
I was loving my dream now im mad at me for waking up
Life here in the real world can be so crazy
I guess the bigger part of me wishes I was stil a baby
Some of my dreams may come true
I know thats not true and so do you
But I will continue to believe my dream will come true

Miss You (RIP Kondor, Martin OIF 29APR04)

I miss you my buddy and I miss you my friend
I was there beside you until the end

I saw you pay that priceless cost
The day you left I was lost

You were my friend for so many years
Now I'm alone with mourning tears

I will strive, to keep your memory alive
So that all will know the reason you died

You gave your life so all could be free
You didn't fight alone you fought with me

Today is so hard to get past the pain
Your memory hits me like an invisible rain

With so many people you left behind
I can only imagine the pain in their mind

Mystery Girl (part II)

Am I lonely or just fooling myself
Could it be that these are the cards that I dealt
Where is that place that love is felt
I want that bit of fire that makes your heart melt
When will I have my chance to float on cloud nine
When will I find that one woman whose only mine
I’m always thinking about her for she stays on my mind
Looking for her on a daily basis, Yes this is my grind
I hear people talk of love unconditionally
I cant wait to find that love that’s meant for me
I scream out to her and all I hear is my echo
When I find her I will squeeze her and never let go
As sit in this far away land
With a pen and pad in my hand
Only thoughts of happiness, In the mist of sadness
This is my life and believe this is not how I planned it
I said I would be married by now and filthy rich
But my dream is over now so reality sets in
Fairy tales don’t always come true in this world of sin
But I wont give up until my time has come

Me And Love Is Blind

I can never find love
And it never finds me
If only we could see
The beauty in Love and Me
I've searched high and I've searched low
I'm sure love is searching for me, don’t ask how I know
I thought Love had found me, so long ago
When I took a closer look, it was only a logo
I had love in my hand once upon a time
But it slipped away cause it really wasn’t mine
A message to Love, cupid must be blind too
Cause he shot the arrow, but it passed me and you
Was I borne blind or do I just choose not to see
That Love is closer than I thought maybe right under me
If only I had my precious sight
I could finally end this lonely plight
Not trying sound bold or come off mean
But Love if you're near by please make yourself seen
I'm so close to just giving up
Could this be my fate or just bad luck

Crazy Man

A guy came to me the other day saying some crazy stuff
He said he hate what I do and what i stand for, to not hit him was ruff

Why do people tend to not look from outside of the boots
I say they need to read a history book on american roots

Some of the comments I hear, I see people can be very crazy
They dont see the pride in the soldiers I fight with daily

Out here where Im at, we are all we got
Even tho we know americans back home got our back

I wish that guy could have seen the day a lil iraqi boy gave me a flower
He said thank you america for your courage and power

His english was kind of broken but I knew what he ment to say
We made it so at least that one lil boy can come back out and play

At my level we dont see saving the world
All we see is making a way for some little boy or little girl

Lets Make Love

Lets make love like its the very first time
Come closer and let me show you, what’s on my mind

As I wrap my arms around you and squeeze you tight
I feel the butterflies in your stomach deep in flight

I can feel your body shiver at my mere touch
As your breathing becomes heavy and very rough

We whisper sweetness in each other's ear
Relax cause as long as im here you have nothing to fear

Our body's sweats wetness of love
Its like fog fills the room from ceiling to rug

The smell of love essence fills the air
If anyone’s hear's us I don’t even care

The mood is right and with the lights down low
As your body heats up you begin to glow

A Romantic Night

You come in and sit down while looking around
I tell you don’t be afraid just relax for this is your night
I’ve prepared all day for this one perfect night
Topped with music, food, wine and a flickering candle light
We eat, drink, laugh, and talk just for starters
I began to gaze into your stars stolen from the sky eyes
As you lay in my arms looking up at me in utter surprised

I stand you up and slowly walk you into my room
I began to undress you piece by piece
While the aroma of the room puts you at ease
I tell you to lie down flat on your stomach
Then your fantasy's and fascinations’ begin to run wild
Now I have a strong appetite for your love and I want it now
Yet the moment is not now so I tell myself to slow down

So I begin giving you a full body massage
Not just any massage I mean really caressing your every curve
Tonight I’m your servant and I’m ready to serve
I smell and inhale a deep breath of air from your hair
