I remember the many trips I took in the vastness of my mind, <\/span><\/p>\n

The kisses I placed upon your lips and the love I hoped to find, <\/span><\/p>\n

As I placed a soft hello into space,<\/span><\/p>\n

With hopes to light upon your face, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I tossed and I turned I cried out to you please never leave, <\/span><\/p>\n

Although in my mind you were my life love and my only reprieve, <\/span><\/p>\n

Everything that I am I give to you, <\/span><\/p>\n

When you dream do I come through, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve held you at night as you laid at my side but only in a dream, <\/span><\/p>\n

When I kissed you goodbye did it feel as I hoped it would seem, <\/span><\/p>\n

Did you cry with the same pain I felt?<\/span><\/p>\n

A sad dream is what I’ve been dealt,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And I cry hello into the darkness of time and space with a tear, <\/span><\/p>\n

Forever to travel space until one day you will hear me so clear, <\/span><\/p>\n

And I pray it doesn’t come too late, <\/span><\/p>\n

That you’ve forgotten our last date, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So worn and sore with aches desperately painful plus a lonely heart, <\/span><\/p>\n

In the jungles of war you were in my heart as you were from the start, <\/span><\/p>\n

As the only one that I have loved, <\/span><\/p>\n

My heart is open and never gloved, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How your beautiful face in the night says hello to my heart once again, <\/span><\/p>\n

Please never leave me, please stay eternally until our life’s can begin, <\/span><\/p>\n

Everything that I love is second to you, <\/span><\/p>\n

I have loved you forever written here true, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And now I lay in discomfort covered in snow afraid I could freeze, <\/span><\/p>\n

Cuddled with you in my vision, I fall asleep in the cold with ease, <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve held onto a secret too long, <\/span><\/p>\n

Loving only you is where I belong, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a series of dreams I’ve stared backwards in time in search of you, <\/span><\/p>\n

Will I ever be home, will I ever be warm after all I have been through, <\/span><\/p>\n

I softly whisper hello so afraid I may sleep, <\/span><\/p>\n

Cold has overtaken me I can’t feel my feet, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everything that I love is in you with absence of your love I will die, <\/span><\/p>\n

A frozen droplet of tear remains on my face as I awaken I still cry, <\/span><\/p>\n

Hello in the vastness of cold, <\/span><\/p>\n

In but a year I’ve grown so old, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just this once I cry let me survive if only that I may dream once more, <\/span><\/p>\n

As I finish my prayer I whisper aloud, hello I love you, it’s you I live for, <\/span><\/p>\n

I beg to stand before you ready to weep, <\/span><\/p>\n

It is of you I survived, your love to keep, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How I pray to survive the cruelties of man and return home to all, <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet I question survival as I have fought all alone, since came the call, <\/span><\/p>\n

I cry in the darkness where are they all, <\/span><\/p>\n

If but a moment the pain could stall, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Abuse has overtaken my mind as sodomy penetrated what I am, <\/span><\/p>\n

I now understand the greatest sin cast upon women by a man, <\/span><\/p>\n

Any innocence that remained is gone, <\/span><\/p>\n

The child of my past has passed on, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a garden in heaven youth of my soul has been laid to rest, <\/span><\/p>\n

I cry for the child of me that tried to do as told and did his best, <\/span><\/p>\n

Now I will never again be whole, <\/span><\/p>\n

The evil of man penetrated my soul, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On a damp dirty floor with my waste on the floor they did their best, <\/span><\/p>\n

To empty my soul of love and hope, but my love of you had yet to crest, <\/span><\/p>\n

In shame I cried for my mother, <\/span><\/p>\n

Words I wish I could smother, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a moment of cowardliness I cried like a child wanting Mama there, <\/span><\/p>\n

For her to kiss my forehead then to hold me as she gave me her care, <\/span><\/p>\n

In a vision I saw you ever so plain, <\/span><\/p>\n

I’m so ashamed I cried your name, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every weakness I have came forward in time and I exposed what’s inside, <\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not a brave man filled with courage and so ashamed your names I cried, <\/span><\/p>\n

I bleed until I faltered at death’s door, <\/span><\/p>\n

I’m so sorry I couldn’t take any more, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello, can you hear me Patti, I fear this is my last journey into space, <\/span><\/p>\n

You will receive a box of my dreams for you if I don’t leave this place, <\/span><\/p>\n

It will be given my daddy and he will hold you, <\/span><\/p>\n

As every letter and poem you read through, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m no longer a man as I’m damaged beyond repair this time I fear, <\/span><\/p>\n

In a blink of my eyes I’m in a bed learning to walk and can see clear, <\/span><\/p>\n

The kindness of a nurse brought you to me, <\/span><\/p>\n

Recovered your photo that you I’ll see, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a moment in time all I had been through was a nightmare of past, <\/span><\/p>\n

Hello, my heart is crying please never leave me, don’t leave so fast, <\/span><\/p>\n

As you left me my heart filled with fear,<\/span><\/p>\n

And I whispered goodby with a tear, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a wave of goodbye everything that I love drove off far away, <\/span><\/p>\n

Another wave of extreme loneliness to live through until the day, <\/span><\/p>\n

That you say hello once more to me, <\/span><\/p>\n

And with my eyes it’s you that I see, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may never know that each night I told you goodnight in a rhyme,<\/span><\/p>\n

For so long I’ve whispered my love poems into the vastness of time, <\/span><\/p>\n

I would cry into the emptiness each night, <\/span><\/p>\n

And dream of holding you so tight, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The times of extreme are now etched in my face to be seen by everyone, <\/span><\/p>\n

As I walk towards your smile a hidden tear says the loneliness is done, <\/span><\/p>\n

Everything that I love is at my side, <\/span><\/p>\n

I walk from it all with you as my bride. <\/span><\/p>\n

The end, to Patti, from Pat. November 1967 to November 7, 1970.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
