Ha Long Bay 2004

In a beautiful French villa
upon volcanic isles' we shared
the tenderness of hearts
the way that lovers do.

Later that night on an
island bay, in the romantic
moonlight, I never wanted
the evening to be through.

Take my heart away
to Ha Long Bay and
the special times
I spent with you.

look deep into each word
and you will understand the

Remember Them

If you are able,
save for them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for places they can no longer go.

Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.

Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.

And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.
