      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Oh, Lovely Rose of Red

      Oh, lovely rose of red, your petals soft,

      your blossoms near an end.

      Remember spring, when first your

      buds and leaves did just begin.

      Fear not, my pretty blossom,

      for the harsh winds to blow

      your petals to the ground;

      you served your days

      upon this earth

      with love to everyone.

      Oh, lovely rose of red,

      your petals soft, your days are near

      the end,

      but wait till spring—

      you’re in my eyes again.

      A Poem of True Love

      How can I love you more, my dear,

      How can I love you more?

      I shall not leave you, no, my dear,

      I shall not lose the way.

      Though bitter words could break a trust

      Of binding love divine,

      And shatter all the hopes and dreams

      That someday you’ll be mine.

      The deepest roots of love for you

      Inside my heart and soul,

      The purest thoughts of gentle love

      The world has ever known.

      How can I love you more, my dear,

      How can I love you more?

      A Newfound Place

      Please come with me,

      to a newfound place.

      Where flowers grow wild

      with dew drops on their faces

      and early morning mist.

      Where songbirds awaken up the

      morning dawn to celebrate

      the sun rise from the sky of blue.

      Where butterflies and honey bees suck nectar

      from the clover fields.

      Such beauty the eyes can behold

      from this newfound place.

      A Cry of Fear

      A cry of fear, alas, alas!

      The fear of death in all their hearts.

      Some made it through

      that dreadful time;

      suffice to say the shock took hold,

      screaming and shouting and pushing and shoving and blood and tears and broken hearts—

      no shame, no gain.

      I shook my head; it could be me instead of them,

      the terrorists, whoe’er they be,

      will have to stand on judgment day

      and witness hell,

      their destiny.

      Love Cannot Be Bought

      Love cannot be taken lightly.

      Love is compassion,

      Respect, and honesty.

      Love has no anxiety.

      True love never fades away;

      It is with you every day.

      Love is precious,

      Love is priceless,

      It cannot be
