The last photograph I remember of him<\/p>\n
Was taken not far from Dover in the June of 2022<\/p>\n
He was wearing a light green shirt<\/p>\n
With a darker green vest underneath<\/p>\n
As normal he was wearing his aviator shades<\/p>\n
The army jeep that was in the photograph<\/p>\n
Belonged to a friend who was dining with us<\/p>\n
Little did I know that only a few days later<\/p>\n
He would go to war as he had a passion for war<\/p>\n
Everything was black and white to him<\/p>\n
There were bad guys and good guys<\/p>\n
Bad countries and good countries<\/p>\n
The bad guys died and the good guys survived<\/p>\n
But he had a less defined side which I liked<\/p>\n
He once was due to execute an enemy soldier<\/p>\n
But refused as the poor man was reading Gogol<\/p>\n
Whereas he had a bloody appetite in battle<\/p>\n
And took few prisoners if any<\/p>\n
He notes that if he was ever killed<\/p>\n
That he should be buried face down<\/p>\n
So that he might listen to the anger of the world<\/p>\n
As he knew that God was terribly cross with him<\/p>\n
My husband never tells me when intends to return<\/p>\n
He just shows up unannounced at the sea facing door<\/p>\n
Usually looking tired and in need of a fine meal<\/p>\n
And then he retires to his study to write poetry<\/p>\n
I have asked him to cease going to war<\/p>\n
As one day his luck will abandon him<\/p>\n
He promises that it will be a war and a day<\/p>\n
Whatever that means his answer is deliberate<\/p>\n
He is my hero my soulmate and my friend<\/p>\n
But there are parts of him that are mysterious<\/p>\n
These I choose not to explore for fear of the exposure<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
