[hometext] => Dedicated to the many Vietnam Vets who went through Hell and back, that live with that horror every day! God Bless you all for your service!
[bodytext] => I am getting weary from the memories that tie me down Whenever I close my eyes I travel back to a certain place at the speed of sound Almost like having a dream only I am very wide awake I find myself sweating profusely wishing for God, my soul to take The sounds of years ago ringing so clearly in my head The visions of so much confusion and bodies of the dead My eyes are closed I am afraid to open them wide The realization of where I have been only gives me the will to hide If only people around me could see the visions in my mind The sweating and cold shivers is the freedom they will find Bound in this body aging through all these years I have remained a soldier in my mind while my memories bring only tears Many buddies I left back in Nam but when I close my eyes we are together as a team Then I open my eyes and find myself back in this world where nothing, is as it really may seem Written by: E.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
