The embrace of life comes in the form of a lover\u2019s hold,<\/span><\/p>\n

Vicious words and spit were given by protestor\u2019s bold,<\/span><\/p>\n

They were righteous within the boundaries of their mind,<\/span><\/p>\n

Cowardice ways of a few somehow guiding masses of blind,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kind words were needed to free my broken soul of the chains,<\/span><\/p>\n

Words or greetings of welcome never came so war pain remains,<\/span><\/p>\n

Stains of death have found a courier in form of a battered few,<\/span><\/p>\n

Kind words of healing were forever gone, we are now a lost crew,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My dreams of future love with the girl of my dreams were gone,<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how hard I tried to follow through I couldn\u2019t move on,<\/span><\/p>\n

My poor heart rained teardrops creating an anguish river in flow,<\/span><\/p>\n

Residing within my heart the love for her rose with no place to go,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Freely I spoke of my love for it was worthy of my every breathe,<\/span><\/p>\n

Truly she was worthy of every love-bit I could offer before death,<\/span><\/p>\n

I cried out at night when tremors of frightful dreams brought fear,<\/span><\/p>\n

Overwrought with worry of her as a loss to my heart, I wept a tear,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Following said tear came a torrid desire to touch her breast if once,<\/span><\/p>\n

For she is the lingering pain within my heart, or I am but a dunce,<\/span><\/p>\n

Too blind or unaware to see the reality of my draft tragedy in full,<\/span><\/p>\n

War is not enough I ask aloud of the night while tears create a pool,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For a man has endured enough if perishing at war is his final act,<\/span><\/p>\n

But to lose the one he has worshiped, now gone with a final extract,<\/span><\/p>\n

Please my sweet angel, I beg that you take care in my absence of you,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve given instructions of my final letters of love to you and what to do,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since age eighteen I\u2019ve had but one life goal of fulfilling my love dream,<\/span><\/p>\n

You, my beautiful teenage girl so womanly in form you make me beam,<\/span><\/p>\n

For four years and since day one I announced my love and my desire,<\/span><\/p>\n

Since a miracle became a vision of you I have carried love like a fire,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My chest pounded excessively hard while in our first lover\u2019s embrace,<\/span><\/p>\n

Your breasts against my chest absorbing wild beats as if in a chase,<\/span><\/p>\n

No man deserving so little has been given so much if only in that kiss,<\/span><\/p>\n

Too your fingertips gently caressing my face with tenderness I will miss,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My flesh is yours, the oxygen carriage of blood is given freely too,<\/span><\/p>\n

I am yours, I\u2019ve made a vow of love for life written in rhyme to you,<\/span><\/p>\n

This and so much more is written in my will of soldier\u2019s last words,<\/span><\/p>\n

Angel I pray that if my words must be read I hope for singing birds,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You beam beautifully when birds are with song to fill the day\u2019s air,<\/span><\/p>\n

I will stand proudly at your side although no one can see me there,<\/span><\/p>\n

A flag draped casket will be all that remains of the man you knew,<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps it was best my letters never touched the lovely hand of you,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love\u2019s flame would have taken hold to increase your broken heart,<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps prayers will save my life and only death can tear us apart,<\/span><\/p>\n

I truly believe I will marry you and of course you\u2019ll marry this man,<\/span><\/p>\n

Somehow, someway, someday, we will unite as soon as we can,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below verses written on 09\/01\/2018<\/span><\/p>\n

Those verses overhead were written in nineteen sixty and nine,<\/span><\/p>\n

For fifty three years I\u2019ve felt your angelic kiss that is now Devine,<\/span><\/p>\n

In desperate times you\u2019ve held me tight to halt a growing tear,<\/span><\/p>\n

My love has grown each day or should I say it as year after year,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I speak of my love for you as it is worthy of my every breath,<\/span><\/p>\n

Truly you are worthy of every bit of love I can offer before death,<\/span><\/p>\n

I sometimes cry out at night as frightening dreams of war appear,<\/span><\/p>\n

And if overwrought with worry of losing you, I may weep a tear,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The embrace of life has come in the form of my lover\u2019s hold,<\/span><\/p>\n

Words and spit from protesters are no longer for me I\u2019m told,<\/span><\/p>\n

The boundaries of haters have changed and many are now dead,<\/span><\/p>\n

You and I now dwell where love exists with joyous times instead,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your hold is what I live for, your kiss and to kiss your full breast,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve loved you for so very long, perhaps at last you believe the rest,<\/span><\/p>\n

I have never lied of my love for you, even when I began loving you,<\/span><\/p>\n

I love you more each and every day, for loving you is what I do.<\/span><\/p>\n
