Hey you!
It’s actually an age old theme, about how soldiers go off to fight and how important the letters from home, and from their lovers, are. It gets them through the tough parts .
Nowadays staying in touch is instant of course. But back in the day, letters were anticipating finding gold. -

This is a new read for me. Love against all odds.
Truly an epic love journey.
It’s the one thing that withstands the test time if you’re lucky.
What a great way to end my evening:)-

A hauntingly beautiful elegy of love and war. This poem folds devotion and devastation into one breath.
I love how the moon becomes witness, both executioner and promise, while the language blurs history and intimacy into something timeless.
The tenderness feels earned, sacred even, amid the ruin.

The moon being involved in love stories and poems etc is perhaps cliche’ by now. Yet, it is such a motivator with its presence.
Although I am ex military, I prefer to write of kinder things usually. The things that will save our souls perhaps. Hope, etc.
Thank you very much for going back to this one. It’s always been one of my favs of my own. It needs some work, but I do like it.
