Yesterday . . . I was me
Enjoying Life
Living Life
Not a care in the world

Then all of a sudden . . . a War Broke Out
Not in some distant land
That would be easy
No thy enemy . . . and all that stuff

NO . . . This War . . . This War
Was inside . . . ME
I can’t see IT . . . hear IT
But . . . IT . . . is stalking ME

IT . . . uses Gorilla Warfare
IT . . . attacked ME . . . When I wasn’t looking
I did not see . . . IT . . . coming
How do I Defend ME . . . Protect ME

I am SCARED . . . I don’t understand
WHY . . . ME
Oh! GOD in Heaven . . . What did I do
Do I . . . Did I . . . Deserve this

S l o w l y . . . S l o w l y
IT . . . consumes ME
My mind . . . Frantic . . .Don’t know what to do
Doctor said . . . Only so much time . . . to do

My Loved One’s . . . They try
To Understand . . . Comfort . . . Support
They Cry . . . They Try
Understanding . . . So Elusive

But . . . What about Them
How do I . . . Protect . . . Support
I Won’t be Here . . . I’ll be . . .
Reality . . . Fear . . . Frantic

IT is winning . . . Doctor’s tried
Failing . . . Legs . . .Arms
The Sun . . . It doesn't seem as bright today
Despair . . .Tears rolling down my cheeks

Not long now
Laying here . . . sterile walls to look at
Home . . . take ME Home
I want to be . . . My loved one’s

Today . . .No more Tomorrow’s
Above . . . I look down
Sadness . . . Aunt Pattie’s Apple Pie
They say . . . I was a Good Person

Next Year . . . The Year After
Remember . . . ME
Will I fade . . . From Memory
Picture of ME . . . Displayed . . . Tears of Memory

Tho the experiences we all have in life might differ, the emotions we feel are often the same. As my EvkoEmotive Style unfolds before me, the evolution of my creations reveal the sensitivities in my nature. I have found that a well placed pause in the tempo, will allow your inner voice to insert your own experiences and emotions into a poem. This “Emotional Colouring Book”, allows the reader to actively participate. Hence, I supply the frame, you supply the emotion, the poesy becomes my 'Gift' to you.

Great poem. The war that comes back to haunt us is that of conscience.
