John Wayne was a giant of the Western
The Searchers, True Grit, and Rooster Cogburn
He won the gunfights
He loved Miss Goodnight
And always proved that he was the best-durn!

I'm not good at writing poetry,you already know
But I'll try my best because I want to show
to you how much I love you how much I care
if only you could feel the love that we share

I know the distance is what keeps us apart
but it won't get me down ,you're always in my heart
it's something that together we will face
until we can feel each other's embrace

Sometimes I feel insecure and alone, you do too
but I won't show you I won't tell you
I just keep it to myself ,prefer to hold it in
It's weird but it's like you're under my skin

If you ever need someone to talk to
just know i will always be here for you
we both know that with me you belong
can't wait till you come,say it won't be long

I know I'm Not perfect and that I will never be
I don't search for perfection,just want you to see
that you're all I need,everything I was looking for
therefore I Can only pray that we'll both stay strong

Gentle as the breeze that blows
And sends the fields of daffodils
off to bow their weary heads
like fallen soldiers in the wind..

As subtle as the cloudy sky
That gently raises the home made kite
And blows ever so softly giving way,
Allowing it to take flight,

As calming as the setting sun.,
We sit and watch when the day is done..
As peaceful as the summer rain..
As it falls from a pale grey, sky.

As welcoming as the the Springtime is ,
Signalling that all life shall again begin,
And when you drink in all these things,
Then comes the Quiet storm.

And there may be lightening, and assuredly
There will be rain..
And sometimes the wind will howl and moan,
And just as suddenly all will be calm again..

And the next day when you awaken,
In the very early morn..
Drink in the sunny vibrant hues of red, yellow and blue,
That is the beauty of the Quiet Storm.

It's my joy in life to find
At every turning of the road;
The strong arm of comrades kind,
To help me onward with my load.

And since I have no gold to give
And love alone must make amends;
My only prayer is while I live,
God make me worthy of my friends.

It’s amazing you know
How long my body has remained
Such a mystery to me
I had a heart once
But it bled to death
Eyes that once saw
As clear as a bell
(Why do they say that?)
Are now blurred and raw
Skin that was smooth
Hangs like wrinkled washing
And my eyebrows have decided
To have a mind of their own
Whilst my head goes on thinning
My ears have new growth
My nose is getting bigger
(I suppose it’s a thirst for knowledge?)
And my hands
That never seemed to frown
Are gloriously speckled brown
I remember the days
When I was six foot two
And my feet had size nine shoes
Now a size eight slipper will do
I shall not talk about teeth
For we have parted our ways
And the magnificent browns
Have all turned to greys
But I will soldier on
Though I think my rifle is empty
Still nothing to fire at
When the browns turn to greys

Underneath two of the tallest buildings in the world
We were a part of an extensive piece of rail
People coming and going – busy everyday
We were proud to be part of the world trade

It started out as a beautiful September day
The sky was blue and clear – not grey
Suddenly there was a tremendous roar
Then an explosion that shook every floor

The sound of the fire was deafening and loud
People were running down the stairs and out
Meanwhile firemen and policemen came in
Heroically risking their lives for all those within

Suddenly another roar hit the second one
Both were burning with heat hot as the sun
We saw horrible sights and will never forget
Terrorists had hijacked and hit them with 2 jets

Suddenly the Twin Towers caved in – all the floors
We were buried underneath listening in horror
Then there was a deathly quiet for a long time
Until the rescuers came searching through the grime

We were moved to an island and carefully stored
Thinking we were not a part of the towers any more
Sad and lonely we sat for 15 long years
Remembering each year the fear and crying tears

Now we are in the sunshine in this quiet peaceful place
We now sit on top of this beautiful granite base
To remind the visitors who come to never forget
The day that terrorists came and posed a threat

Others have also since loss their lives each day
To keep us safe from terrorists come what may
We are here to say – We will never forget
We were part of the Twin Towers that we represent

A beautiful crisp cold night
A night for all lovers everywhere
But everything was not alright
He could not find her anywhere

The love of his entire life was gone
He was lost without her guiding wings
She had left and he was all alone
Without her he no longer felt like a King

Remembering her lovely color of white
The sounds she made when they courted
And as a couple they were a beautiful sight
Their long necks at times looking contorted

Springtime was the most romantic time of all
In the Summer they loved the cool blue water
Then the beautiful colored trees in the Fall
Winter also had a magic as they cuddled closer

He is all alone wondering where his love went
One day she was there and the next gone
He hunted for her until he was spent
Mourning for her - he lived the rest of his life alone

He locked all his stuff in the storage
And went for a journey around the world.
He left no home behind, no family waiting him back,
He travelled from country to country
Many days, many weeks and months
He wanted to see many things, many buildings
He wanted to touch the growing grapes.

He heard of a Siren
That lived on the island Calypso
He wanted to meet her, to hear her song...

And there she was
So light, so pure
He instantly wanted to guard her.
She sang, and her words,
Every sound she made
Were dragging him close to her.

He asked what she wanted from him, maybe help?
-She wanted him to stay.
He felt like he's losing his mind for her
And when she turned her head he ran away.

He ran away, he thought he is safe,
But her song was still in his head.

He kept with his journey
But every morning
He was waking up hearing her song in his head,
Which kept dragging him back to the island Calypso
To Siren that sang.

He tries to forget, to follow his errands,
To live like he lived before
And its too difficult now
After he heard her song.


Sun is wrapping Calypso with light and warmth
Sea is caressing shores in tune

Siren singing through tears
over note he left:
"I will find my way back to you"

like the petal of a rose hungry
for the sun's energy
and the mist that sustains
the very food of life
I am...only sated
by your touch and love
by your spirit and soul
perpetually intertwined
in my heart, in my mind
even as
you are gone
somewhere in the horizon
of nothingness
but here within me,
every second, our memory
sustains my will to live
just like the petal
which hungers in the night
but when the new dawn breaks
and the sun rises
with you in my heart
am forever energized
waiting...
