James Fraser Poet Rhyme

Let Love Live

An American Marine
On tour in Bahrain
Falls in love with a Princess
Love is his blame

The lengths that he went to
To protect his Meriam
Bring her to his America
To live and be with him

For although she was a princess
She wanted more from life
A prisoner in her royalty
She left and became his wife

Because she was an illegal
Asylum she has sought
Lost in the system
She became a forget me not

In May 2001
A Green Card came her way
The 9/11 bombings 
Their marriage in disarray

Then came that final hour
Divorce was on the cards
Las Vegas night life grasped her
Their marriage, now in discard

This became the end of their journey
They went their separate ways
What could have been of a lifetime
Distance has had its say

Carolyn Devonshire February 15, 2010 at 2:42 PM James, you always give us such amazing storylines in your poems. Is this a true story? I keep wondering what role the 9/11 bombings may have played in their marriage falling apart. But it's easy to see how the Vegas nightlife could grab her interest. She had lived such a sheltered life in royalty. You SHOULD write a book, my friend! Love, Carolyn

Audrey Haick February 14, 2010 at 4:09 PM So very sad, James-that their love could not withstand the 9/11 tragedy. It could have been a lifetime and an inspiration to others to see that true love can transcend anything! A real pity. Peace, your friend, Audrey P.S. Thank you so much for your kind comments on my poems, James. As always, you know I appreciate you taking your time to read and leave your comments. Thank you.
