Sci Fi Story

You wrote this while sleeping in such harsh conditions?!

Each thought is then of her
until the morning sun
respite

It's still not too late B...but you already know that. Kris is lucky for such a soul to linger in her memories...Your words kiss heaven right now...You are on top of the world right now, because life is naught but a dream, really?
Great poem

True words, that was when I was on radio watch at night in my sleeping bag, fully dressed, with people out to simulate warfare...Specialist (aka Spec4) B-Mental;US ARMY, 2nd Armored Division, Forward Brigade, 1st Battallion, Headquarters & Headquarters Company, Mortar Platoon, 1st Section, Fire Direction Control (FDC)....Positions (plural) Chief Fire Direction Control & Radio Telephone Operator, Vehicle Driver. Yeah, I still don't sleep much after the military...I was all Gung-Ho...and I never thank God had to do what I these men and women are doing now, but I'm proud to have done it, and proud of they those BAND OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS...I really....HATE...Violence, because I have felt it so many times..............

Your poem was sweet, tragic and awesome. I always suspected you were a man to love a lady well and true. I wonder if she knows what an honor she has been bestowed.

Your heart is poured out in these three little verses, very touching, Pete. I am so hoping that the cancer can be treated and that you two can have your piece of heaven NOW. You deserve to be happy and to have someone to share your hopes and dreams with. Please take care, Kizzo

I wonder if she knows what an honor she has been bestowed.

well, the Kris from high school was really my first love, and we didn't know how to have relationships. She said that she wouldn't cheapen herself by having sex before marriage, and when I had nothing, I gave her everything she wanted, but sex...mhm I went into the military, and she started sleeping with a couple of my people I know....and I had a lot of friends...I found out but, what am I going to do be mad? It turns out they wanted to know why she and I were so tight, and we weren't. They thought she was some sex starved animal, because I couldn't stop talking about "Kris Cuts"...It was what I thought was a cute way to describe how she made me feel when she hurt my feelings...then...we just became friends, and she would be "Why do you rave about Rembrandt? And Van Gogh is Awful...all my friends think you are crazy!" blah, blah, blah. So probably NO>> I know this much I was in love with being in love. Its a part of the essence of many who love well...or poets. I do wonder why you think you don't understand poetry mtpsur...cause the term of endearment..."Long suffering wife" is so poetic to me.

****Mods, please feel free to edit should you deem this improper for the blog...I don't want to blame her, and she is or was a sweet person.

She probably knows. She wouldn't need to see the writings and thoughts to see the truth on your face...
edit: I guess, being in love with love is what lots of people do..why do a lot of victims of abuse hang on to their dangerous lovers? Good luck with your relationship with Kris....but before that, dance in the good memories with her. She needs companionship right now. She needs devotion, or the strength will become harder and harder to attain. She and you will become closer after all this; things will change, and the past will be the past.

"Never turn away from a woman,
when your love is great.
Til' I see her next I'll just have to wait..."

Seems like your heart knew the way all along, B. Sometimes we forget to listen to what our own heart tells us because the despair becomes so great. Kris is fortunate to have you, mon ami, you have a heart full of unconditional love.

Woot, woot...woot...I'll give that a cowbell!

In my heart of hearts I know that the loss and pain you have suffered, I have too. Maybe the next two little poems in the next sequentially appearing entry will give you release? Cheers Pendragon, you can guide me anytime...I mean that!

True love is like shadow
True love will never leave you in your tough time
True love will follow you like shadow!!!!

so sorry, Pete But this was very romantic...great!

Thanks Downing and Mukta. Toodles B

Ok, the reason now that I was drawn to Kris is now apparent...it was her, her son, and her ex husband... a former relative of mine....he is related to Ulysses S. Grant...the saviour of the civil war, and his Nickname was "Unconditional Surrender" B.
