Tears Of Ink Poem by Leo Long

“To my Love”… I start the letter
Which I know will be a curse,
For we said we’d be together, for better…
And for worse.

Each line that I pen
Forces a tear from my eye,
For I reminisce of back-then
Before I knew I was about to die.

Ah, the warmth of summer days,
Before receiving the dark news,
But somehow they seem a haze
Of autumn and of hues.

The good times we had
Seem to dance before me
Never were you sad
You seemed so happy… so free.

But now with my letter and life
Both about to end
I sign off with a tear and all my love for you my wife,
My love… my friend
