her poor heart

her heart
longs for the return of soft bedroom whispers
and the feel of beard stubble rashes

her heart
remembers sharing Sunday afternoon lemonade
and his lawnmower serenades

her heart
dreams of dinner table laughter
and popcorn movie nights with the kids.

her poor heart
torn and shattered at the doorway from
a knock at the door and a letter.

“we regret to inform you”


Zeitgeist.
part of the “war series”

A letter all to often sent.  This is well done. I bow to you and your's.  

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."

Thank you everyone for commenting on this poem. War consumes many lifes, both on and off the battlefield.
