So today, I came to the end Of this long long road. Journey of years. Always wondered where I was going. Through storm and Trackless sand dunes Never knowing where I was going. I have reached the end. No more road. I am at an airport. Only way out is Fly...

Today you came home. Two souls alight Enflamed in love and desire Today it was, I am here, and I am there. I am here, And also there. I saw you. I finally really saw you. Welcome home darling. I knew today You are family. You joined my tribe. They approved you And love you in Their own rough way. Even my elder brothers Those who went before us. And inside verily A cactus of love Although he has no prickly bits. Somehow tonight It is all real All happening. You will come home to me For real Soon. ❤

To the small soldiers To the ones bearing tattered flags Worn shoes and rusty canteens To the ones who understand Billy Joel And Paris Island. To the ones I went to save, All the ones. All y'all. Loved without exception. ❤ I stood in the trenches Mud soaked my feet Got in my shoes and socks. Rain in my eyes and nose, Dripping along with sweat. Gun aimed and ready, steady now. Stood, crouched, hunched for hours While my hands were cold and Could barely feel the trigger. But the sharp report was sure, The enemies falling before us, Brother to brother, sister to sister, Living the horror and agony Together. This month I remember Blood. T
