Dulce Et, Decorum Est, Pro Patria Mori
Its sweet and proper to die for one's country

Blood looks violet on fresh snow
...

Teach your Children Well
Teach them All your dreams
Children are small kites
They try to soar high and
...

Memories mostly make for
The strangest of dreams-
Those that more often than not tend to go awry,
Making the silly mind wonder
...

Bacchus? ? ?
Why do they call you that?
My answer is straight and flat
Once a simple soul comes into your arms

EL HIJO – THE SON

Now hear me first
Before you claim

AMBITION

Ambition~ sweet sweet and so neat
But~
...

Once in the winter snows
We promised
To meet again
You standing
...

Ask the dust
What you must
But ain't it a fact
That life is never just
...

I remember with a tremor
In my heart
On a cold winter morning with
The fog enveloping everything
...

This was originally written in German and was loved by the German and the Allied soldiers alike as Lilly to most was a street walker but she was the soldier's one true love

Underneath the lantern, by the barrack gate
Darling I remember, The way you used to wait

Walls

Walls they place you
But Doors show where?

MAMA

Mama you were on my mind
As you went gently into the tender night.

PC PRAYER

Every single evening, as I’m lying here in my bed,
This tiny little prayer keeps running through my head.

...

When then world is darker than
I can understand
When nothing turns out the way I want
When the sky turns grey
...

Fiat Justitia Ruat Caelum
(May justice prevail before the heavens fall)

The Goddess of Justice
...

Your face
still haunts the windmills of my mind
Your grace
so undefined
...

...

...

When you were fourteen you could not bear
To hear
A word spoken by me
Today at Twenty one you realise, what a lot
...
