I read many poems here. All were very good. I like to share two I wrote many years ago and to this day is still my favorite that I wrote. I have a whole book of them......2 I would like to share:

You look at one star and what do you see
If you see two of them, then one is me
Make a wish and you shall see,
what you wished it will be
And if I fall you will see
a streak in the sky, that is me
Grab the earth and toss into the sea
for part of belongs to me
Washed ashore to start again
this time now there is no end.

and

Thicker then water
sweet to taste
all the blood that flows
has gone to waste
all the wars that were fought
a soldier fights for what is right
he fights with his will and might and sword
to save this land from
oppressive lords
tyrany has taken this land
a soldier fights were he stands
now the blood flows into a stream
a stream that flows into green
turning water into red
many men lay near there dead
once a boy, now a man
eighteen years he understands
the price of war
tarnished and ravished
his soul felt
now understanding what he was delt
to never enjoy being young again
to enjoy the birds, the grass, his toes in beach sand
once a woman he onced love
now she looks at him dicussed
with her hands and all her might
she tears his heart with a killers insight
falls to his knees
now he prays
to make his soul rest in grave
life for him now is lost
a soul from has been scorned
that woman now holds heart
one fell sweep a heart is torn
crushed
his soul now in devils control
to pay the price for taking life
he puts his head down in shame
the war was won, pain remains.
