Kentucky saw a lot of Indian fighting in it's settling. The settlers there went through hell. Massacres on both sides weren't uncommon. Lets jus...

Thank you Pops - I appreciate it. This is a tribute to my deceased common law husband. He named his Harley, "Carry", as described herein - after a line from a Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show song that said "Carry me home". That was her name, and thats why. I've written several pieces about loving and...

Carry “Carry me home, wench” He snuffed his smoke and turned the key Kicked her hard, as it should be, And she roared her thunder, At his command Then away into the night, He rode – on Carry “Ride hard, die fast”, Was tattooed on his back While Blackbeard graced his chest, And Rose sat brazen on hi...

This was an exceptionally good poem. The intensity builds with the dream, and then the soothing ending:

an arm around me
a gentle kiss
I wake

your face

I remember...

you're still here
I found you

...forever

Perfect! Great ending to a very intense piece.
