For The Principles of the Red White and Blue

When it's All Been Said and Done

Lost Souls of Yesteryear

On theDark side of the Moon!

Cactus Jack and the Deveil's Gold

The Wind Blew

Where were you@?

How old areyou?

In the Blink of an Eye

The Proof

White Paper

I'll Just Keep Walking!

Until You Quit Loving Me

Do You Remember When?

Sometime, I'm still in Nam

Sir, That's why We Were There!

Tranquility Lake

Ole Sedville-USA

The Spectator

Those Were the Days

The Stars and Stripes Forever

Tearful Thoughts of an Old Soldier

Magical Moments

The Devil's Advocate

Singing in the Sunshine

Ode to All the Unsung Heroes

Hey Jack you made it back!

A Moment of Hope

A Pirate's Fate

Jingling  bobbles, tiny silver bells,
white silky satin, shinny  golden
combs in her long raven hair.
Capacious dark eyes
with there hypnotic stare.

Swaying slowly back and forth,
with an inviting motion.
She slowly danced around,
and around, like the waves
of a mighty ocean.

I tried to take her for my own,
but a rum drunken mate shoved
me aside, and this I could not abide.

Whisky and fire did collide,
and I drew the pistol from my side,
but a second too late.

Now I lay mortally wounded,
on this isle at the end of the world.

I shall remain here for eternity, dreaming
of that raven hair maiden with bobbles,
bells, inviting dark eyes and untold beauty.
