Apple Blossom Tears

The wheel of fortune turned by a letter
Words bold yet cold glared on a printed page
Dreaded but expected , those orders from command
A mission into danger, risen by the call to arms
From the window of the train the last lingering kiss
To be comforting memory on long ghostly nights
Her eyes filled with darkness, she had waved farewell
Unable to stop the rain of sweet apple blossom tears
In a prison of his choosing her image always his faith
Through the hell of war he strode unphased
To his chest her picture closely pressed
His guarding angel with him as he crawled through the dust
He smiled now, closed his eyes, relaxed and at ease
The clattering of carriages did not disturb his mind
Nor the screeching of brakes at his journeys end
At last, reunited, he would feel his lover's arms
Sweet scent of perfume wafted on the breeze
Eyes met, the circle of love again complete
Hand raised slowly, tenderly, he gently touched her skin
To wipe away the sorrow of her apple blossom tears
