Sometimes I wonder why one would harm someone twice again,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve journeyed unseen dimensions of the spirit, heart, and men,<\/span><\/p>\n

Pain inflicted by the heart is more unbearable than physical pain,<\/span><\/p>\n

Hate is a crime of the soul that inflicts onto the soul a dark stain,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have wept of these things as a deep sadness for mankind came,<\/span><\/p>\n

My heart savagely pierced by those that rejoiced in a painful game,<\/span><\/p>\n

Loneliness was a heavy burden placed upon a young man so alone,<\/span><\/p>\n

A year with no letters from home as combat created a death zone,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To stare into the eyes of a combatant whose rage wants you dead,<\/span><\/p>\n

Is to enter a zone of fear as I realized a desperation to leave instead,<\/span><\/p>\n

I cried alone on missions so deep a soldier\u2019s existence is fully denied,<\/span><\/p>\n

The greatest fear I\u2019ve ever faced is a fear her heart is now occupied,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To abruptly feel void of an angels love is a powerful poison of heart,<\/span><\/p>\n

So burdened yet destined to endure more as protestors chants start,<\/span><\/p>\n

The flying Navy hospital burdened with men absent limbs and parts,<\/span><\/p>\n

To touch the U.S. soil of our country is when a soldiers healing starts,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The burden of emptiness is the heaviest yet as her love now feels gone,<\/span><\/p>\n

Sixteen months returned home a weary man without a desire to go on,<\/span><\/p>\n

No boy getting older nor young man has come home to family or friend,<\/span><\/p>\n

Beaten and abused by citizens for accepting the draft letter they send,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aged, worn, and expecting a crowd as we return but no ride is there,<\/span><\/p>\n

As I return to my hometown we parked outside her house and I stare,<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps as I cry and sob I will feel her energy pulse through my soul,<\/span><\/p>\n

The AM is midpoint as I ride the few blocks home to find my new role,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My heart is in anguish as the unknown has tortured my person through,<\/span><\/p>\n

If she was near I would say \u201cas I\u2019ve said many times before, I love you\u201d,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s happened to you Patti?\u201d Are you in the arms of someone new?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been tortured by an enemy so brutal torture of men is all they do,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pain so intense my spirit took flight as separation from my body began,<\/span><\/p>\n

The pain I endured pales compared to the shattered heart of this man,<\/span><\/p>\n

If only she could but touch my chest with assurance of love still there,<\/span><\/p>\n

Rejuvenation of my being would take place to know she may still care,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written lines of poetry expressly for you my beautiful angel of life,<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a desperate need of conveying love before you became my wife,<\/span><\/p>\n

How many men would drive seven hours for a date and again home,<\/span><\/p>\n

Any price paid is worth the price to be near you as our love has shown,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The pain endured created a discharge home so it was worth price,<\/span><\/p>\n

Still I give thanks for that event returning me home to you was nice,<\/span><\/p>\n

As time diminishes from pathways of life, romance, and loving you,<\/span><\/p>\n

I pray for more time of life because loving you is the best thing I do,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My heart is conjoined of you as motions of your self make me stare,<\/span><\/p>\n

So beautiful with every ounce of your being no other can compare,<\/span><\/p>\n

To make love to you is selfish if known, that such pleasure is mine,<\/span><\/p>\n

To make love with you is to share of our love as if a rare fine wine,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Know I\u2019m sorry if lust appears a reason of my desired lovemaking,<\/span><\/p>\n

Not meaning to be greedy but it takes time to love your everything,<\/span><\/p>\n

I love you so, I feel a need to express said love with remaining time,<\/span><\/p>\n

Please be patient with me as I try to explain my love with a rhyme.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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