Soldier Blue

She stalks the night in search of him Unwary heart without the sin Of betrayal in his thoughts And with such stealthiness she prowls Without so much as e'er a growl Regret an afterthought She spies her prey and pins him in Then sinks her bloody teeth within His crippled heart begot Her fangs are sharp and deep they grate Leaving him to exsanguinate With eyes the devil wrought J.W.

Torrid nights replace the days Lovers hearts amidst the haze Broken in so many ways What hope for Soldier Blue Dancing with the Reaper Grim Stainless steel and lead within Wine to mask the bloody sin Now finally Soldier True One more glass before the crime Will reason enter just in time And in the daylight who will find Must think this through so well Alas my mind I can't make up I think I'll just refill my cup Afore this monster dost erupt And takes me straight to Hell J.W.

Each morn I wake in my cocoon I reach and stretch to touch you For the assurance that you're still here And put aside my deepest fears It's storming I brush my fingers o'er your skin Breathing deep to take you in Your honeysuckle fills the air Intoxicating nectar Good morning J.

November days the trees aflame Bright orange they do glow Dads prepare to give their thanks Fall nights begin to grow I see them through their windows Holding hands in prayer And as I turn to walk away I whisper I don't care My turkey breast is on the stove Hot still from being fried I'll carve it with my dullest knife Hardly giving it a try I'll say my prayer and thank my Lord For all that I so miss Another hand to hold in mine A simple hello kiss But something tugs upon my heart I know that I'm still blessed And loved I am by He who reigns My God in Whom I Rest J.W.
