Rice paper doorways, glow with the faintest light. Shadows play to a chorus of throaty bamboo flutes. I was the happiest with her. They called it war, I called it love. They said we would win, so I never lost. They ordered me to leave her... And I did. Afterwards, and still....I feel her. I know that the heart really bleeds. That it's not just a figment of love, but the most vital instrument of life itself. I'd do it all again. The fear, the sounds of night exploding, and the killing..... if I could hold her once more, and die in love. |

Wow I liked this. A sadder, wiser write of loss. |

Make love not war, make love during war. Bamboo and rice paper, evocative imagery, well done dear poet. |

![]() (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Max, this is powerfully heartaching, sweet friend, if I had only one option to go out to war without love or go off to war with love, I would choose to be killed feeling love! (sad sigh) My heart sends angel hugs your way, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Max, hank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
