~Rave On~ I’m out on patrol jus’ thinkin’ of you Out humping the killing zone, feelin’ kinda blue But I’ll be back to hold you tight Remember me darlin’, everythin’s all right Jus’ gotta do my duty with all my might In this little hissy-fit fight. But my ragin’ brain can’t help thinkin’ of you Running my fingers through your curly do I remember when I held you tight Everything seemed oh so right... Then I went far away I would not return for a year and a day. Though in my dreams I still hold you tight In my dreams everything’s all right Humping with the combat infantry Fighting evil men of infamy Who done freedom wrong Who desecrated liberty’s song. Oh baby, I’ll be home soon. I see your sweet smile in ev’ry killing moon Dreaming for only you I pine I feel your lips on mine Little things you say and do Make me want to be back in “the world” with you. Gotta do my patriotic chore Though fighting I abhor Rather think of the honey I adore But here there’s death all around Here where real monsters abound Wanting to plant me six feet under the ground. Rather dream of you saying “I love you” Than wily Vietcong pursue This fear’s got me reelin’ Jus’ dreaming of war’s bloody feelin’ Trading memories of your softness For this fighting and dying obtuse. So I can’t be thinkin’ too much of you Because there are men preoccupied with my dying too Lots of people here don’t like me very much Dedicated to killing me with their bloody touch Wanting to reunite me with dust from whence I came For this fight holding me to blame. So I can’t dream too much on it Unless I want to be kickin’ up daisies in this forest pit Find the bullet with my name on it I’m so glad your love takes me away from this bullsh-- uh, er, tragedy Remember the way you dance and hold me tight Raving dreams got me reelin’ all right. Dreaming of back home with your love Never again to be lonely, my honey dove Tell me, not to be lonely Tell me, you love me only Back across the heartbreak sea Where my rue love waits for me. I still dream of that tender kiss Of that “just right” bliss With the heart of me infatuated, Feelings in my heart celebrated Basking in the glow of romance Empassioned in loves sweet dance. I dream longingly of that night Foretelling a future so bright There under the golden moon spun Here in a dangerous land under the gun Where the race in the gamut of life is run Victory and the agony of defeat lost ... or won. each poem with more action graphics and Pictures
