I BROUGHT THEM HOME... MY LOVE!

I saw something
of Angels in your eyes.
... your lips
... and I loved you so very happily .
... that I answered the Preacher...... YES!

.........and again
...Yes!
I cried
hoping none would see the torn souls
of my dead brothers
that I placed in bags beneath a hot wind
... a war that I brought home
to you.

My brothers.gone
......... yet they watch our loving touch,
and nestle into the warm grass
beside us.
They touch you...
My love!
... and I become their flesh
gone!
...... yet their desire reaching
... into the silence
of the eternal soul.
