I ventured out on a transcendent journey to learn more of you, <\/span><\/p>\n

Into a mystical enchanted place of uncharted waters I felt askew, <\/span><\/p>\n

With no physical form to anchor my soul I flew into the unknown,<\/span><\/p>\n

Flying untethered by physics I defied the laws of man we’ve known,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will each star in the heavens welcome me home upon my return, <\/span><\/p>\n

Once when drafted I was shunned by citizens to feel an odious burn, <\/span><\/p>\n

Pray tell Ye of Creation that never again will I feel such painful slight, <\/span><\/p>\n

It is now a century halved yet the memory haunts me every night, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Soon I entered a place I recognized yet I didn’t recall the place at all, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Befuddled by my lack of memory I sought safety and a place to fall, <\/span><\/p>\n

Where did I put the photograph I hold so dear? It will make things right, <\/span><\/p>\n

As fast as I can think I saw snapshots of a misplaced sailor in the night, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this place of familiarity I also see you through a dimensional peep, <\/span><\/p>\n

I saw snapshots of you in deep worry while praying my life to keep, <\/span><\/p>\n

The brokenness of your heart became overwhelmingly sad to me,<\/span><\/p>\n

A small trickle has formed where teardrops dwell I am sorry to see, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is my dark haired image of old embedded within your mind’s chamber, <\/span><\/p>\n

Have I held you each night in your dreams far from this war’s danger, <\/span><\/p>\n

While paying the draft boards due of forced slavery I wept at times, <\/span><\/p>\n

For the loneliness of combat has no place while writing love rhymes, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It expands every emotion of love to such point it would surely burst, <\/span><\/p>\n

Love is the answer to life’s dreams of which I have had a deep thirst, <\/span><\/p>\n

To know true love is to know true heartache of which I am well versed, <\/span><\/p>\n

Each morning upon waking thoughts of loving you always came first, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When found far from home for a year or more loneliness did reign, <\/span><\/p>\n

Now through this dimensional foray I’ve journeyed to see your pain, <\/span><\/p>\n

Love is revealed as I see from this journey you loved me as I did you, <\/span><\/p>\n

From this revelation of truth my spirits soared just as high as I flew, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My journey of a lifetime has told me that loving you then was not in vain, <\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve pulled away a particle of me that you will feel my love when in pain, <\/span><\/p>\n

From the hourglass of my sand I’ve pulled away a fragment of my time, <\/span><\/p>\n

It may seem insignificant but if you look hard you’ll find it’s my lifetime, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh sweet woman so beautiful say yes you’ll bare your breast for me, <\/span><\/p>\n

At my life’s end I pray my every moment will be spent as your devotee, <\/span><\/p>\n

Love is a heartache I knew well once upon a time when I was sent away, <\/span><\/p>\n

To know you too endured the loneliness I felt is worth the pain of today, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To find your presence in this unknown place I recognize sometimes, <\/span><\/p>\n

I thought a miracle of fate until I saw us tethered by our love’s ley lines, <\/span><\/p>\n

Wishing to comfort poor me I leaped through a dimensional boundary, <\/span><\/p>\n

As I placed a particulate of my future into his heart I created a quandary, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I touched his heart with love’s delight a sudden memory occurred, <\/span><\/p>\n

Did I remember feeling suddenly better that night that now seems blurred, <\/span><\/p>\n

I shortened my current existence by giving him the particle containing time, <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet I now remember a burst of love one night that helped create this rhyme, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have no need to travel the vastness of this place because you are here, <\/span><\/p>\n

As I wrote my words of love on paper I recognized my creations so clear, <\/span><\/p>\n

Every poem, rhyme and story written can be condensed into but a word, <\/span><\/p>\n

They are attempts of assurance that my words of love for you are heard, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I looked around in this place of magic I found answers I needed to know, <\/span><\/p>\n

Came a whisper that said drink from the river of answers while in full flow, <\/span><\/p>\n

But I only found answers to questions that created the questions anew, <\/span><\/p>\n

Each time I departed it was an entry from the other side from which I flew, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dimensional planes have no thickness yet they are too vast for one mind, <\/span><\/p>\n

Best explained as a loop for time has no movement mankind will soon find, <\/span><\/p>\n

As I exit to re-enter my lifetime fore and aft I can see where I stand today, <\/span><\/p>\n

My fingers are placing digital ones and zeros to light up the iPad’s display, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I soon came upon a stranger that I recognized as being the future me,<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked a question of how are you he said “open your eyes to see”, <\/span><\/p>\n

He pointed with his finger directly at me and said “all of this is inside you,<\/span><\/p>\n

The questions and answers are within you, look nearby you’ll find a clue”, <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tethered at my side not too far away lays my best friend and wife too, <\/span><\/p>\n

Without loving you I would be empty with nothing for my fingers to do, <\/span><\/p>\n

My best friend is my wife I’m happy to announce and to say it is true, <\/span><\/p>\n

When I exit this dimension to enter the next I say “it will be loving you”. <\/span><\/p>\n

The end, by Pat for Patti.<\/span><\/p>\n

I love you baby.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
