I Would Rather

I WOULD RATHER I would rather in battle With Dagger in hand, the enemy to face in Mortal combat Than Risk losing, even for a minute, your Precious love! © Demetrios Trifiatis 21 NOVEMBER 2013

Splendid and adequate for a sound mind. This gave me more light to my soul and has stimulated a self- expression from me, serving as the fuel to my outburst.

I know exactly what you are talking about my friend, I find my wife's love to be such a desire I don't want to be without it! Just like your poem states, "...Than/Risk losing, even for a minute, your/Precious love!" I would hate to lose her love, it would kill me quicker than mortal combat for sure! (and I can't fight!) I surely loved reading this illustrious write this morning! What a lovely piece this one truly is my friend! Great Work!!

My dear friend, Russell, yes, you are blessed with a wife like that BUT I am certain, she is blessed too in the same degree having a husband like you! May the good Lord keep you forever happy! Thank you so much for visiting and commenting!
