Rice paper doorways glow with the faintest, flickering light,
as shadows glide to a chorus of throaty bamboo flutes

There were times spent when I was happy with her
The powers which were called it war...I called it love

They said we would win, so I never lost
They ordered me to leave her...so leave her I did

I know that a heart can really bleed,
that it's not just a figment of love

I'd do it all again to be with her just once more
The fear, the sound of night exploding, and death

All of it, if I could hold her just once more
...and die in love.

...just bein' Bluesy

Bluesy, you really know how to capture a time and a place with a minimum of references that have a maximum result. On top of which, you bandy about the love word like nobody's business. I liked it! ~L

Nobody really wins in war...There are casualties all the way around ~ A touching read Bluesy...
