Best Fighter Poems

As beams through blinds half-open softly play
on mottled skin, and helpless, she depends
on doctors and on nurses, none allay
her growing agony that never ends.
 
Her dread is looming larger. She can’t rest!
She clings to life and ponders soberly
the reasons for and answers to this test.
There...

A Fighter Like A Broken Heart

With pain that racks his body
defeat is on his mind.
Blood drips from his nose and lip
his left eye beaten blind.

He falls just like a timber
on a cold and stormy night.
A fighter like a broken heart
in a never ending fight.

He thinks...

My spirit is a fighter
    determined, never-say-die
  The devil tries to deter me
    scoffs: Why even bother to try?

  I see a mountain above me
    towering over the clouds
  A wee voice anxiously...

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not a fool.
I won't surrender inalienable rights,
To Washington's Marxist tools.

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not a fool.
I won't abide the liar's,
In the main stream media pool.

I'm a lover not a fighter,
I'm a fighter not...

Taliban fighter
Mind in a whirl
For love of his god
Shoots teenage girl
Places his bullet
Coldly in her head
Taliban fighter
Leaves her for dead

Medieval mind
Full of bigotry and hate
With twisted views
Centuries out of date
Taliban fighter
Don't you think it odd
Although you claim
You did it for your god

This little girl
Is still...

Irish Micky Ward.
His fists were a gift from the lord.
He weathered each punch with defiance.
Now he'll donate his brain to science....

FIGHTER PILOT

So you are a fighter pilot in one of today’s latest jets. 
Tell me what it is like to fly, to fight and to die in the air? 
All of the crushing g-forces and dizzying changes 
of direction happening all at once. 
I bet...

For most of his 
Bumming around days
He was lost 
In dead end jobs
Once in the gym
He became a silhouette of youth
Weaving like a cobra
Slipping
Countering
Learning how to hook
Footwork and poise
A moving target
Possessing  speed
And brutal power
Waiting
To connect
On
Flesh and bone.

All his life
He searched for what was missing
His...

. . . ….             ….. .      .


He lays his head on grass, breathing the sky
A rhapsody of hues trumpets rest day.
Blue Mountains, a lush parade like sun’s dye
Sweeping...

Last night I dreamed an awful dream
My hero he was dying
It left an emptiness inside
I felt my Spirit crying
See somewhere on this road through life
There just ain’t no denying
The souls we meet
Are meant to be 
The Wings to keep us Flying


You lift me when I’m...

My little fighter
Your memory isn't any lighter.
The way you cocked your head,
And for tasty treats you plead.
You loved to tumble in the grass, 
And stole sweets from a kid in my class.
When lying on my bed, 
You'd curl up on my lap
There you'd take a...

In this world of strife and troubles
it’s so difficult to stand on one’s own
we all need someone on our side
left to oneself depressed one is prone

There is one out there to fight
on our behalf that’s to be sure
truly He will stand for us
He’ll overcome always...

More interesting the way you wrestle
never meaning hurt..
flirting.., with a skillfull mind
and matching tongue.

Twice as agile your swift feet, gleeful toes,
play like little lady fingers, jabbing, 
bobbing and weaving in the morning sun.   

What a change I witness when the gloves come off
colors...

After about three days
I realized that I felt better
And I was terrified

Because that just means
That I have successfully turned up the volume
In my headphones so loud 
That I drowned out every last thought I had

When I realize that it is a good day
I wonder how...
