Her image of vision may no longer be yet her image as a vision will be,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A line that came to me is now understood for its when I no longer see,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Written long ago as many are to remain unknown until known tragedy,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To see her beauty is my greatest joy, soon blindness will take it from me,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A gift given me long ago is the ability to see future events and more,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Little boys of seven should not tell of their grandfather’s death before,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This ability comes at times to remain unknown, a prediction I must store,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please read this rhyme of my love of Patti, past love of her and so much more,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let stand my heart alone rather than place thee in deigning stance,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beneath the drop of moonlight glow paradise garden is of dance,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dare say I to such beauty, “oh wondrous angel would you by chance?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Did such sweet answer flow from your lips for me by hap-stance, \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From a thought held tight within my heart it is time I reveal,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Courage is mine as I have used my fortitude in war’s ordeal,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet I tremble inside as if I have been exposed to be unreal,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon my knees for thee I whisper with intent my love is real,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, the truth of my heart has been exposed to you in view,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I hunger deeply for thee and for thy kiss I thirst deeply too,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From thine eyes of angel’s colors I find comfort I never knew,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The field of view of thine eyes has me so entranced of you,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Long ago when young of heart I wondered has another known,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Has trespass taken place within this field of heart I feel I own,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Was injury of your naive heart done as war’s hell I was shown,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did awakening take place of you to find love for me had grown,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As Romeo held Juliette my heart held you dear through ordeal,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For so very long before events or war I tried to prove my love as real,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Drain my heart of lifeblood if dying of thirst, drink of me as you will,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For thee I’ll sacrifice life if but for a second of love of me you feel,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let stand a tombstone in love’s tribute to honor undying love I feel,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quarry of marbled stone so words will stand time’s wrath to reveal,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pat Hath Love For Patti unknown until this headstone was found real,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So many frailties knew this man yet strength of heart seemed surreal,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A heart once broken by neglect healed by you when realized I’m true,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though my return home found no home without it I wouldn’t see you,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Frailties given me by draft did not affect my ability to love you through,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not once has doubt of love entertained my mind I must tell you this true,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are the king and beautiful queen of the Texas Panhandle Lore,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those of curious nature ask how I survive so much, non ask what for,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What for is seen in you, what for is for you, more now than ever before,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once love of me was revealed for you I would endure so much more,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first heartbeat after Cupid’s reveal of you felt of life I never knew,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your image entered every cell of my being along with love for you,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First sight love is real yet I felt I had fought for my ladies hand in oh two,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fifteen oh two I should say yet memories of lifetimes past came in view,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are more than two falling in love, a reunion of hearts past took place,<\/span><\/p>\n

As God bears witness I swear each life you have had the same lovely face,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To awaken a sleeping soul the jolt must be felt of heart to give chase,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

May I stand in fires searing pain if I speak untruth from my aging face,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beneath the skies of Texas the masquerade of hearts ceased to be,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From tender lips of red came a kiss that jolted time’s memories free,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Memories passed from lifetimes carried within the soul we can’t see,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though I may lose you to sands of time I will find you again in eternity,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My left hand may bear a cane to stand while the other cane is of white,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An image of you is within my heart, know this my angel of morning light,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Centuries have embossed your image into my mind to be held every night,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve watched me die by swordsmanship hand and held me oh so tight,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each time I vowed my love until eternities passing, I vowed love for you,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

True of heart I remember my bride’s delight of birds singing in full view,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a small house made of gathered stacked stone and thatched roof too,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Built for you with my hands before the Crusades took me far from you,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Years passed before a triumphant return to a son I never knew,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But most of all a one armed knight returned as he had promised to,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More memories I have such as the North Carolina Ice House in twenty two,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though hard to believe I have centuries of experience loving you.<\/span><\/p>\n

For thine heart I am true. \u00a0The end.<\/span><\/p>\n
