THE OLD SOLDIER TIM WILLIAMS DEC. 2014

HE WAS THERE, THEY SAY HE HAS MEDALS TO PROVE IT,
HE...

In red stripes these kids played.

Playground full of fun.

Up until as per usual, alliance...

"I speak of the devil , as i know thee well,
for a cup of tea and a biscuit we once shared'
...

I can feel your breath upon my chest, while I resist my feelings

You are an image in my mind, it...

It's always about you but it isn't about you, all the time.

Trivial pursuits, tests and games,...

Space INVADERS bound for earth

Beings out of this world no myth

Terror races, alarm raising...

Do you know me by the scars on my face
the ones that your hands trace
The stories behind them...

He talks of the needles broken in his arm
how they're still there but cause no harm
It's odd...

Don't forget what we're fighting for,
freedom from an oppressive host
To clean the slate's...

They happen occasionally
Blood is let indiscriminately
It is a valve that readjusts society...

Our Veterans fought for the USA so that we can be free.
They're important to you and they're...

Here we in beds of steel lay
all our dreams have been taken away

Questioning what we will...

Fields of red, of poppy leaf
The fields where so many brave came to grief
Brave men indeed...

THE BUTTON TIM WILLIAMS NOVEMBER 2014

SUNLIGHT FLASHES , CAUGHT AND REFLECTED
OFF A BRASS...

On a lazy fading summer.
Upon the sleeping flowing streams.
Hear the beating of the drummer...

Is that you inside, the casket my friend, you hid all your feelings until the very end. We’ll never...

Out on the battlefield and not alone
hear the thunderous bangs and terrible moans
The enemy...
