  Heavy, heavy upon my failing heart weighs your aching
  need for my full and loving devotion.

  Oh, how I spend myself willingly on your behalf as,
  truly, your desires outstrip my own.

  Were I but a younger and wiry man, would I scale
  a sheer and defy a roiling torrent for you.

  Yet, that is what I do -- with no holding back --
  to save my love from her daily peril.

  As strength and life pour from my soul while
  safety I afford your gasping frame,

  It is no loss to me that I gave my all to
  bring you to life and bid my own . . .

  Adieu. . . .

  It's excellent to see you!

  Thanks, Scully! Good to see you, too!

  I'm all right, just dealing with life and new, unexpected challenges. I appreciate your asking.

  This popped into my head earlier today while on a job. I rushed home in order to send it forth for those who have given all for love . . .

  Love,

  CoCo du Coeur

  I wait patiently for my turn at the deli counter,
  the ticket bearing "38" clenched in my fist.
  In a flash I recall our first picnic: bright skies,
  Anney Greensprings wine and your adoring, faithful smile,
  Our dreams were so much larger the... - "Number 38!" the deli clerk calls
  "I'll take all the ham".

  Thanks CoCo, that was beautiful, you very nearly made an old man (some say old fart) shed tears !

  Thank you for all your excellent writing over the years on here, it is truly different, unique, but always uplifting, and I, along with many others, appreciate and need that !

  Many thanks, NN, rip and Phizzy.

  I write so little nowadays, but when it happens . . .

  You've made my day!

  Love,

  CoCo

  You, my beloved -- dearest soul ever to touch a foot
  on this hallowed earth upon which now I kneel --

  It's but the memory of you, that fading recollection of
  glorious moments past that join my aching heart to a

  Wasted soul in an elusive hope that somehow, some
  way, I might find relief from descent into madness.

  The parting of our ways was enjoined upon me by a
  sickness that struck at a weakness we neither of us

  Knew did lurk; and lurk and menace it did until in full
  and robust form it burst forth fully conceived from an

  Unsuspecting heart: your once pure and noble heart
  fastened itself onto another, a soul whose neediness

  Supplanted my own needs, those once attended to by
  you; and so you drifted to him whose heart was, by

  Urgent necessity, in peril lest you, the healer of those
  forlorn, should fail to succor the weaker of us two.

  Absorbed though I am in the moment -- all alone in this merciless world -- yet I think of sweeter days, days when you, my faithful, loving companion were at my side, at the ready to meet my ever pressing needs: those of heart, body, soul.

  Who took you from me? I cannot believe that you should, of your own accord, slip away and leave me unattended, this fragile and wounded man who loved you so deeply but erratically. I admit to my manifold flaws. Were the others who loved you aware of my urgent needs? Did they insinuate themselves into your psyche and persuade you that your unbridled devotion to me was, somehow, unhealthy? It is by giving that we are renewed. Did you tire of attending to him who had become -- surely, without question -- your reason to live?

  It is not too late. If you cannot open that door and reenter into the presence of our former reality, please come back to me in my dreams, where my life has long since taken up lodging . . .

  He can find a good shrink back home in lala land.

  Get a life!

  Seen enough to spot a looser!
