 Inked thoughts in delicate scrawl tuckaway, tuckaway Missed he is in her recall tuckaway, tuckaway First letter sent was returned yet into her memory, his memory burned tuckaway, tuckaway She no longer knew the where she no longer knew the why she did not know ... did not know yet for many nights she cried Years, in their passing, bring tears to brim when she writes of missing him In cedared chest she places them tuckaway, tuckaway Such sorrow in the sad lament letters written ... never sent tuckaway, tuckaway She passed after years of longing then when he heard of her demise he came to honor her memory with teardrops in his eyes He had not known the where he had not known the why he did not know ... did not know how many nights she had cried Family gave him the cedared chest found tucked among her things of all the teardrops he had known reading her love letters left the greatest sting Had he but known ... but he did not what joy they could have shared He had not known where to find her yet, for all of those same years, he had also cared War time brings a measure of sadness when loved ones are torn apart Often life moves lovers slowly on forgetting where they left their hearts He gently caresses the letters reading them every night finding out years too late she kept her promise to him to foreverly wait~ Now in his lonely heart fond memories come to play one love ... one love tuckaway ... tuckaway~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I so greatly appreciate each kind response~ Sometimes I am *gifted* with words that come from the heart of another ... they circle and land in my inking well ... they swell until they press their way onto the page for sharing~ The arrival of this new muse of thought is a blessing to me~ She was/is real ... he was/is real~ That the thoughts would flow to me is a mystery ... yet a welcomed challenge of channeling~  I am simply 'receptor' ... my mission, as I know it to be, is to share~ Thank you all~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

This is an amazing piece of writing. It shows such emotion, and really leaves you with a sense of despair. I feel as if I can personally feel every thing your characters can. Great job. ~Shannon O'Connor |

Marge, When thinking about separation of Love and Lovers caused by war, your poem is very sad, but, at the same time, in spite of war, it's a great witness of a loving couple's devotion to each other and how enduring Love truly is. Enjoyed reading. God bless. -Bob |
