It looks like this extra poetry cafe I just built is gonna 
come in handy.  Please send more, Foxx.

This one I was required to write.... I didn't have a good start to set the
time of day, so I borrowed a line from another poem that I posted here.....

I'm going to post a bit.... but I'm not going to post the poem that actually
made someone cry.... it's not a good thing....

I'm glad she still speaks with me after that.....

-----------------------------------------

We weep for the dead....

A touch of orange from a darkening sky,
a sense of longing, a sense of goodbye....
Leaving my town, my beautious home,
leaving, I'm leaving, to be forever alone...
My light is dim, the bullet inside me,
all I shall do, is wait for darkness to find me...
My one and only, the love of my life,
is hovering over me, spared from the strife...
I faught this war, for ever so long,
I never had dreamed, my life would be gone....
We weep this day, we weep for the dead, 
the thought of lifelesness fills me with dread...
I hear the sound of battle, a horrible war cry,
the enemy is invading, my town will die....
I tell her to run, no hope for me,
"Flee, my love, across the great sea"
A hug and a kiss, I tell her to run,
I can only pray that she is spared from a gun...
I try to go with her, I stand on my feet,
but more bullets tear through me, and I know I am beat...
Falling to the ground, in blood I lay....
Speaking my final words, all I can say... 
    "I love you....."
