Away Without Leave and the Laundry Left Behind
the side of your bed
you are gone
I did laundry at 3 am again
then I wrote you a letter
I thought I heard you speaking, calling me back to bed
I felt the heaviness of your arm fall
across my stomach
my husband, my soldier
The one I lie awake with every night
Sleep doesn’t come without you
Love Exhales in the Middle of the Night
long distance lover
battles in the night
Moonlight across his face
courage written strongly in the lines
Love buried underneath
the depths of his soul,
flights in motion
He defends the ground I walk upon
When he breaks down doors
and silently stalks the lines
A soldier cries.
I lie awake, empty
Love traverses time
