A Love at War


A Love at War

Darling, I stand before you as I prepare for my possible end, our end. For tonight I must take up my sword and fight for our country. I have bound myself to this country so that I may fight for it and allow it to stand beyond the test of time. To see its banner fly even through the darkest of times.

 But my darling, as we take our last kiss and hold each other before we must say goodbye. Let it be known to you and the world, that I not only fight for the land beneath my feet and those that walk beside me. But fight for our opportunity of love.

 I fight so that we may be safe in our homes. Safe, so that we may birth a family and grow old. I fight for our love darling. So that we may not love only for a moment, but for a lifetime. For we are given freedom to choose our love. To hold hands with whomever we may place our hearts upon.

 I fight for these soils so that those who cannot defend themselves may have opportunity to live. Opportunity to do what they love. Opportunity for you and I to live in peace upon the foundation of our home, our love.

 Tonight, when the stars shine, the moon glows and the clouds vanish. We shall embrace in a moment that will bring tears and I will be a fool and keep mine from falling. For I must show courage before my men, that there is nothing to rid me of my focus. I must keep my tears held for my return, so that I may return my men to their families, those that bare children.

 Our love will always be at my heart and I will say your name as I stare into the abyss of battle and pray we meet again. My darling, we are more than our skin, our lips and our eyes. We are an extensions of each other.

 What you think, I will think, what you feel, I will feel, and what you pray for I will pray for. For we are more than the lust of our flesh, we are magic. And when the nights draw cold and I am held at enemy lines, I will say your name as my heart is touched in your prayers.

 I will say your name as I wake with each morning. I will say your name when we are victorious and slain our enemy. I will rejoice in our love when the cold grasp of winter takes to my lungs. I will say your name when the heat of the desert bears upon my face, peeling me of my skin.

 Darling, I fight so that we may be a country not of cowards but of heroes. I fight, so that upon my return, our love is even stronger. I fight, so that our children can be proud of us. Proud that our love stood against the anxieties of life, of war.

 Darling, you are the first and last thing I shall think of. You shall be my sun in darkness, my stars when lost and my fire when cold.

 Darling, let us share our love before we part. Let our lips taste our hearts, our flesh feel our souls and our eyes see our love. Darling, if this is our last moment, let it be known that you are everything I could ever need.

 You are the air, the wild green grass, the wheat that feeds us, the moon that pulls the tides, the water that holds life and the music that dances in my ears. Take this kiss darling and let it be a memory to keep us going. Let it be a memory that will tie us together, even in death.

Goodbye my darling.

  Step Out! Out, Out from the gloom, The obscure breath of doubt Take stone, break thy yoke, Let trouble fall, let shoulders be lifted, Flow, to the heavens Be but strain no more, Open wide, thy mouth, Let prayer fill thy tongue Be parched no more. Stillness in heart  Though seas roar like lions, And beast snarl among mist, Step,  Out! To mercy of life, Ease, be reborn. Let no shackle of past Be meaning for tear Take hammer,  Fracture the cumbersome Be feet of swift Fill your days with strides, Though dunes widen And heat scorches thy soles. Out, Step out from thy fear, There is another to call To breach, To reach your heart  Though thee be of man, Let not thy eyes of flesh Be the dealings of truth, Wander, In aspect to be whole Be not the coward hidden in cave, A creature curled  Like frightened doe, For he walks beside thee, Like king among his men, A sword of greatness Sways from his belt, Ready, To swing against thy enemies, A presence more bold  T...

I Had Forgotten

 I Had Forgotten     Red smoke plumes in the air. A brilliant, yet daunting sky of clouded crimson thickens the sky in sheets of billowed cotton. It rises with no sense to stop. The atmosphere frightens, yet heightens the senses with a strange tingle of pleasure.  We are losing our homes to the natural order. Yet I am not taken by tears, but by an odd joy of entertainment. For too long have I adhered myself to these pieces of physical wealth. Yes, through struggle, persistence and consistent efforts I have dawned myself with such rewards.  But for too long now, I have forgotten the path I had been taken. I had forgotten the many beads of sweat I spewed from the exhaustion to gain such things. I had forgotten the lonely misery I had fought. I forgotten the friends that lifted me, the moments that tore me down only to bring me higher.   I had forgotten the delicacy of a flower. The aromas of nature the beauty within myself and the beauty so n...
