My Soldier-Love! (a soldier’s
song-proud)
In
the abyss of white diamond midnight-light
This
tender-heart love-soars my spirit-bright
Come
eternal dawns your face lives in sight
Together
again one day soon my dream-delight
Pink-subtle hint
of dawn colored eastern sky;
Shortly: Red! White!
Blue!-hues blend-swirl;
Lovers awake to
coolness-aspen whisper-wind;
Pine-y woods at
tree line kisses bright sun-day.
Gazing into
brown-crystal pools he takes her hand;
A gentle kiss
sweet-love the pair does savor-share;
Breakfast on the
open fire with sugar for tart-tea;
Gather camp,
then challenge trail adventure-search.
Five miles to
high-noon cold lunch respite-time;
Energy bars and
trail mix snack onto relax-recline;
Absently she
strums guitar as sun warms pretty face;
Her beau
attentive gazes soft enamored sacred-tender.
In an
abyss of white high noon sun-light
This
tender-heart love-soars my spirit-bright
Come
eternal dawns your face lives in sight
Together
again one day soon my dream-delight
Thy beauty-face
with angel-song soothes my heart;
“I love you more
than all of this!” Arms spread wide;
She smiled and
whisper-sang her quatrain-love verse;
A stinging tear
escaped her eye though she lamented it.
Soft, his
fingertips erased the mar to taste the salt;
“I will return so soon once this tour is
final-done”;
A lower lip
quivered-slight belied resolve-intended;
Her body
shuddered as he held her gentle-comfort close.
Backpacks
upright they headed out, her strength recouped;
Miles ahead upon
a shelter-ridge they pitched a tidy night-camp;
In
flicker-shadows daguerreotype exposed veracity subtle-flashed;
Ebb-flow
emotioned-passion undulated cadence universe-grandeur;
Later,
hot-liquid stained his handsome face until she succumbed sleep.
In
the abyss of white diamond midnight-light
This
tender-heart love-soars my spirit-bright
Come
eternal dawns your face lives in sight
Together
again one day soon my dream-delight
Much too soon an
evil loading-gate swallowed her love;
Back home she
hiked the Great Divide, friend-in-hand;
To trace their
steps, easy enough; her tight voice failed;
Desperately
alone she fit-full tossed-slept the evil dark;
Morning-bright
offered no relief; she somehow arrived home.
Eternal
first-year slowly eroded a willing-life full-desire;
Friend-guitar
gathered evil dust, forgotten on a deserted shelf;
Emotions slowly
died save letters defined seeming lost life-love;
Too soon the
nightmares assaulted anguished-hope in lost space.
For him, the
evil “hell” alive with demon-monsters savage-insane;
Felt he could
dodge green-tracer rounds leading lethal end-to-life;
Rifle-friend had
saved him through time and space, a spirit injured;
Yet, true Love-abounds in hope with helmet-picture
safe-secured.
In
the abyss of red-laser death midnight-fright
This
tender-heart love-soars his spirit-bright
Come
eternal dawns love’s face lives in sight
Together
again one day soon my dream-delight
Startled awake
in stark-fear---the dream too real to think;
Her soldier-boy
visited her home in hidden-shadow face;
A cold-ice hand
reached out to vacant touch her pale hand;
Too much to bear
she faded dull to beg bright morning sun.
They finally
came by ten to check as she be an early riser;
Upon the tosseled
bed she sat guitar-friend in steady-hand;
While in her
absent-sleep the phone had blared somewhere;
Their tortured
faces told the tale which she already evil-knew.
The flag-draped
box Red! White! Blue! So quiet-still
it rested;
Precision-cadence
uniform-march to attention stand-salute;
Seated-front with
a worn guitar the pretty lady strangely stoic;
Crisp-careful
folded proud flag solemn presented with Love!
Blended-abyss
Red! White! Blue! Noon-light
This
purple-heart love-soars his spirit-bright
Come
eternal dawns your Love! lives in sight
Together
again one day soon my dream-delight
In
the abyss of white diamond midnight-light
This
tender-heart love-soars my spirit-bright
Come
eternal dawns your face lives in sight
Together
again one day soon my dream-delight
Amen!
