St Valentines Day Massacre

Once again pure white
 snow is stained red
Students falling to their
knees learning of their dead
 
The hallowed halls hear screams
of terror and fear
As the black dressed man unloads
his weapons at kids we hold dear
 
The demons that pursue him cause
him to act inhumanely to his peers
Bringing death and destruction
An end to dreams that
will last for years and years
 
This story has been told over and over
The same player...a loner, on medication,
no close friends, dresses in black and
loves guns
People come forward shaking their heads,
this was not the fellow we knew
he was quiet, he was a good son
 
His father is shaken to his very core
You can certainly see that as he stands
by his door
Pleading with cameras to be left alone
how could he know what is unknown

Losses

 

 
Losses
 
My mind's eye plays a myriad of fleeting
images passing ever so quickly
 
Dark brown eyes laughing in the distance
echo's of love lingering ever so gently
 
A sense of humor that did not stop, loving
life at it's fullest
Full of jokes, stories and most of all faith.
My West Virginia friend, that I had never
met...yet close to her I felt
Till we finally meet ... a fond goodbye
 
 
Green eyes flashing protecting hearth and
home ever so greatly
She was my beautiful Irish Warrior Princess
So delightful to know, to read her story
Her love of family was wonderful to behold
She told her stories in the old world way of
"telling" an Irish way about her
 
Will never forget them until my time is done
Time passes on, babies are born and the
circle of life continues...it should be ever so
 
Death comes to all of us, that much is certain
Peel back the curtain, peer into it's face
fighting to stay ever so much
 
Missing the laughter, even the tears - nothing
seems right with the two of you gone...
wishing to turn back time ever so
