Buahrangers Revetment: Poety and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. Pahl and friends

What’s it like?
Love I mean?
I’ve never been in Love
I’ve never even been kissed
or even had someone hold my hand.

It must be wonderful?

I know what it was like with Momma and Daddy,
deep, burning and all consuming…
Is that what it’s like?

I used to watch them
and wonder:
Is love is always like that?

Dearest Becky,

Love is…

… barefoot in sand at break of day
… a moonbeam hug and kissing a star
… riding a Stallion till neither has breath.
… the rapture of knowing life after death

… a butterfly seeking nectar on a rose,
… like a hummingbird darting too and fro
… like a wolf running through the snow
… a wisp of wind on lips that glow.

… like pounding surf on jagged rocks
And the heartbeat of the universe
… like hurricanes or a raging storm
And like a whirlpool of all life reborn

… like nothing ever felt before
And everything that is for ever more
And it is now, and then, and yet to be
And it is all you ever want or need…
