At the Window I Wait

At the window I wait For my love to be home Back from the war And it's deathly roam My longing to enjoy The love of my man To hold him so tight My wantings to run To bathe him and sponge His war torn soul To rinse the dirt Of man's murderous goal Soothed and soaked I join my love Lathered and scented Soldier and dove I hold him close So tender in touch Caressing my man To enjoy him so much We exit the bath Lie in front of the fire Drying each other For soon my desire His silhouette In the fire glow Manly and proud In wanting grow We lay down together Touching, kissing So many years All this was missing Exploring and caressing Like lovers anew I welcome my darling Through heavens dew Like a fresh breeze Over my body he lies Taking me gently My groaning thrives His torso captured By my legs and arms Displaying our lost love Sharing our charms In the glow of the fire Shadows bounce Lubricating our souls Our bodies announce The missing years In the cries as we sighed My husband came home But so many have died . http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/love.php

This poem reflects on the cruel reality of those who will never return to their loved once,and it breaks my heart when i know that every verse is living truth for many---charma

The fears never change over the centuries, women longing for the safe return of their men from war. It's too bad there has to be war. Very god piece James! ~Trudy~

There are so many women out there waiting for their men to return. You gave life to their longing and evoked the loneliness of one who waits. Beautiful poem, Highlander! Love, Carolyn

Nicely done I have experienced this but not in a war situation just gone in military. I can feel for the women out there who miss and are afriad for their man's life. Keep writing. Sara
