[hometext] => Thoughts of my wife while here in Iraq..... It's never too late.....
[bodytext] => Sequestered to the waste-land, far from home Where it was written, Great Babylon’s tome Seeking a reason, for why it’s not there Wondering why would anyone care The cry of the sand for love and for life A deafened echo amidst the man’s strife He doesn’t and won’t hear, unless it is her Laid at life’s wayside with the rest of the cur The Mesopotamian-sanguineous sand Is where he will dream of holding her hand In the womb of where civilization was born He thinks only of her, in a country war-torn The desert like love, is barren and stark Revealing its true loveliness when it gets dark His eyes search for the crescent moon waxing Her vanquished longing for him has been racking Will it again rise and be as it was Only if a thought of him causes her pause She has the power of life over death Her voice like a song on the angels’ breath In the land of Babel he continues to wait Love’s second chance, is never too late [comments] => 3 [counter] => 193 [topic] => 22 [informant] => navydocny [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
