Love from War
On a bright sunny day in July 1969
He sent her words from war
It was the first of its kind from the fields of Vietnam
Oh how his heart ached for her
Wishing he was home with her
He ached to feel the touch of her hands
To look into those electrifying brown eyes
And to let her know how much he longed for her
With a sudden yearn beyond the hurts of war
He pulled out a pen and paper
Pouring his heart out with each ink stain
He crafted beautiful words that captured his aches
Long and laborious it was
For him to pen his every thought
But the love he had for her was more
Beyond the throbs and strain he felt
Each word conveying his heart
Painting his soul upon the sheets
An epistle of 10 pages he wrote
Almost conveying his mood in a single note
Now forty eight years after
In holy wedlock to his heartthrob
With days of combat long gone
He sits in peace at the coffee table
Skyping leisurely with her
In one of his conglomerates in China
He couldn't help but utter his relieve
I'm glad your eyes I can behold
And freely your voice I can attend, on a beautiful summer morn!
At 71 they ping daily
The love they share only crescendos
Not a single day passes without them tweeting
And sharing a kiss in real time on skype
On holidays they go on trips
Taking various love cruises through the globe
Their children loves keeping up with them on Instagram
And the grandchildren relish in a group chat on Facebook
At last he had all he wanted and more
All beyond his wildest imaginations by Grace
A business and consortium well grown
A love and family to hold
Even to have them so close, by the magic of a single post!
