Larsen M. Callirhoe Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Letter to Joyce (or is this just a fleeting passing moment in my life!) How many times did it take for me to tell you I do. Only once - because I thought our union would last for eternity. You see I loved you so. I will be lonely without you, because I will be missing you. Babe I loved you so long ago. From the beginning of time till now we were meant to be. The time is drawing near I know you left me so alone. So please don't be so cruel and heartless like the day you left me without a care in the world for I saw your bleeding, such a sad heart. Reflections in the waves, spark my memories of our honeymoon on the beach in Naples, Florida. Set an open course for the virgin sea. Half way there was as far as we would ever get. You took my hand in marriage and crushed my heart in divorce that was not picture perfect bittersweet my tears flood many worlds. Whenever I had enough of you it was your unblemished body that drove me wild. I will be lonely without you. The day you said I do I actually felt wanted by another human being for the first time in this incarnation. Now I am hardly alive. I am not just another charity case. The day you left me is the night the music died in my life. My heart doesn't beat the way it used to. Long nights, I am just want I am. You see when you left me I wept for months on end. Praying to my God not wanting loneliness in my life anymore. I know HE exists and that the Godhood is the truth. He has Sophia and in all his infinite might he couldn't put a female in my path to be my Earthly Companion. Joyce was my one shot at marriage. I hold marriage as though it is a sacred institution of God's Holy Ghost. That is my reflections on how I looked at you my lovely dear. You were my moon and my stars. But, would you believe it?

tonyv Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 As is always the case, Victor, I enjoyed your characteristic blend of the personal and the metaphysical. This image sticks in my mind: Set an open course for the virgin sea. Half way there was as far as we would ever get. By its very nature, the title piques the reader's curiosity.

goldenlangur Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hi victor, From the pain of a lost love you evoke the beauty and healing of Sophia - the symbol of wisdom and release from the torments of the soul. Moving and beautiful. Quote goldenlangur Even a single enemy is too many and a thousand friends too few - Bhutanese saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
