A Last Love Letter
By Todd C. Stanley
My Dearest Serra,
If you are reading this letter, then you know that I’ve not made it home alive, that I’ve not survived the war, and that I have died defending my country. My beautiful Serra dear, do not weep for me, my body may be shattered but my love for you still lingers. It is alive in these words that I have written to you and I pray that they shall stay with you always. Serra my darling, I wish it had not come to this, I fear now that you alone must take care of our children, tell them for me that their father misses them and loves them with all my heart. Tell little Angie that I am proud of her, to keep her balance as she learns to ride her bike, and tell Alyssa when she comes, that I am sorry I could not be there for her birth but that I love her very much.
Serra, I know you are suffering my loss but I know you will pull through; I need you to stay strong for our children and watch after them. I know you will raise them to be wonderful young women who are strong and confident. Serra I am so proud of you, we have only been together for two years but right now it feels like it’s been forever. I couldn’t be happier with anyone else but you. I have died as your man, and as you being my only one, forever and ever. You make me so happy Serra, you and our beautiful children. Many men here have died for something or someone. Most men here are too young to be wearing a uniform, but they are, and they wear it with sincere hearts. Despite how young we are, I’m glad that we are out here. Conditions are tough, and there are less and less of us returning to base by the day, the men’s morale is wearing thin and I fear that they are losing hope. I know we will win this war.
There is one last thing I want to tell you my love. I want to tell you that I believe we will be together again. I know God has a plan for us and I don’t believe that he wants our love to end. I know I’ve never believed much in God, but being here has brought me closer to him and I can feel it more and more by the day. I know he will help you Serra, you have always been so faithful in your prayers. When Alyssa comes, teach her to pray with her older sister, teach them who God is and tell them that their father will always be close by them to watch them grow. Let them know how proud I am of them. I love you so much Serra, my love, my darling sweetheart, my northern star, my world and my life. I love you.

Gather the Stars
Gather the Stars
By Todd C. Stanley
Gather the stars in your delicate hands and throw them to the cold earth like the tears I’ve shed for you as you walk away from this now vacant grave engraved with the name you’ll never forget. The piercing hate you show me is but a rouse of how you have changed for the worse. You were so beautiful once, and now the vacant grave in which you’ve departed from keeps something inside, dark and bleeding. From my knees I arise to my heavy feet and take pity in which lies at this hallowed grave; the thing in which I used to cherish above every other thing. It is only now but a shriveled pitiful thing growing colder every step you walk away. Shattered and meaningless now, soon to be forgotten, your heart lies in this dark hole. As I look into the star littered sky I shed one last tear, like a falling star it will pierce your broken heart once again as had my past tears had done to you. The tear speaks the words that I must depart with, leaving you to carry on with your broken life. God knows we never wanted this to end, as strong as you thought you were the only thing you proved was how weak you became. I loved you so much, I would have endured everything I had to just to hear you say that back to me. But now you are gone and have forced me to carry on with my life. I pray that someday somebody may find your gravestone covered in cold and warm your freezing heart. I will ever be grateful for the times we had together. Know that I will never hate you for what you’ve done to me, I knew you were my angel of darkness and my demon of light. So gracefully you punished me, how did I ever think I could tame your heart? Let me close my tired eyes now and hope for your salvation with a chance for true love. As I give into the night I will always have with me what we had together. Tormented, I will wrestle with my nightmares. These consuming nightmares of how you were able to let something so beautiful slip from your delicate hands. Still, I will arise from this battle with a damaged smile and a sincere heartache. These are the wounds you have left me with, and though they heal more and more by the next sunrise; there will always be the scar you left. As I live to my limit, keep lying in your carved out grave and wait for someone to find you. Gather the stars in your delicate hands my love.

The most 'beautiful' of words are reserved for those who are the most eligible for such a word. To you my dear I have reserved these words; locked into my heart a kiss from you picks the lock and lets the words flow through to yours. Eligibility of this word called 'beautiful' requires something of you not found in others perspectives but my own. So 'beautifully' you'll unlock every secret in my heart about you. So 'beautiful' you'll smile and set me to dance on the glimmer of your lipstick, and to the sparkle of your eyes. Just a wisp of your breath over your lips shakes me to my knees where I look up to you smiling so 'beautifully' down at me. Your hands so softly caress around my shoulders as I hold you tightly to me. Moving up to your lips our eyes will meet, as they have many times before, they will meet again for the first time, and I'll tell you every secret of my unlocked heart. For you my dear I will die as you lay me to rest in this vast unknown world in which, with you, is a 'beautiful' grave. My lungs will never fail me as long as your lethal kiss keeps my heart beating so rapidly at the sight of your 'beautiful' eyes gripping me and leaving me paralyzed in this grave with nothing to move to except for the sway of your hair in this soft breeze. I close my eyes and let my mind bleed out the rest of my sanity, letting my ever beating heart to scream out for your everlasting 'beauty.' If the sun never rises, I will stay with you and keep you close. Never could I leave you for my last breath will be yours. Don't waste this last breath, together we will share it. With one last lasting kiss and one breath to share, I will tell you my last secret. The secret of how you have always been to me. Such a word is the last breath in which you were the most eligible. I speak the word and we both close our eyes and blot out the world. "You are so beautiful…"

Sunrise Sunset
Sunrise Sunset
By Todd Craig Stanley
What is wrong with your life, why is the system of our day crumbling with each new word we speak? Our lips touch and the feeling of love evaporates like water simmering on a star. It never lasts, never remains, never lingers. Once felt dreams of passionate romance and unsettling hearts tears away the core of my being. One last touch of your soft delicate skin, the grazing warmth that passes through your body like the summer breeze, blowing through this field of roses that makes me recall the scent of your hair fills the evening. The opening of your dazzling blue eyes, the blue of this dark night hiding the sun sending the sky to cool down bursting with color as the night begins to take your life. Ever on the colors stretch as you lay your head to the cold earth, feeling the breath of the world pass through your fingertips. Death that comes from the darkness offers light to your soul as your star filled eyes flood with tears streaming down your soft pale cheeks. The tears you cry scream for relief as death stretches his welcoming hand towards you, beckoning an escape from your world now shattered. The last breath that lingers on your lips escapes from a grasping, unseen hand now faded as speech of a few simple words strikes against your broken world, taming your heart, and making you close your eyes to the sense of a heart taking hold of yours as my lips keep your last breath in your mouth bringing you back to life. When you open those beautiful eyes I'll be gone, my essence of love will remain with you always, keeping you alive and keeping you on your feet. The strings of my heart entangled with yours sets my mind to dream of a day when you could be mine again. When you fall to your knees, burdened by the world, bleeding tears that shatter your heart into smaller pieces, and making you give up on life will never last. I will be there to pick you up along with the remains of your heart. Fly across the universe, count the stars, and find the one you and I both share. Gaze into my eyes and see that life you once had when you were happy, when you were in love. The night settling the sun now dims the shimmer of light upon your flesh as you now fade away into the dark leaving me once again alone, wandering, and searching the night for your face. The sparkle of the stars reflect your eyes now hidden by the dark clouds that take you from me. For so long I will wait for you to appear to me again, this night I sleep hearing the chorus of the breeze like the lullaby you sang for me. Awake with the morning rising in the sky as the blue of your eyes are found once again. Find me standing there, waiting patiently for you to make your next fatal move against my heart. Spill my blood again and revel in the glory that I will keep a smile just for you. I will survive the day, waiting again for the night to come take the world so peacefully, waiting to see your eyes glisten in the stars once again, waiting for you to come out of the night to join me in the sunset where the sky will be stretched with red like your sweet hair that sways beside you filling the air with purity and passion. I'll watch as you fall asleep to the sound of the night, the orchestra of the wind calling your name so gently. Keep hold of this sunset fading so quickly as your eyes grow heavy, in the morning when you look to the sunrise you will see me again, giving that smile to you, that smile I've always kept safe for you.

Two Hearts of Life and Suicide
Two Hearts of Life and Suicide
By Todd C. Stanley
And when you look out into the rain, can you see me there with every fallen drop like the cold tears on my pale cheeks? I've cried over you for too long, now my tears stream down my once warm face to the floor where they will dry and never be remembered by anyone else but you. Can you feel me close beside you when you sing those songs we sang together when we shared those memories? There's nothing beside me but the empty void that hangs this colorless dream into a world of distortion. If I tell you that your laughter is my lullaby, would you lay me to rest beside your lips that once curved so warm and gracefully? I'll hold out my hand and reach towards you just it the hopes that you will take hold of it and bring me up so I can be with you. When I see you again will you run to me and let me kiss you? Those nights we were together, we sat next to each other and the warm drift of the wind would blow through our fingers. Our hands were so close. Maybe someday when we meet again you'll let me hold you tight and never let me let you go and we could stay close forever. How do you see me when you see me smiling at you? I would hope that the birds sing for you and time stops for us just so we could stare at each other. Does your heart stop when you take a breath as our lips collide? Do you live for a moment as my touch grazes your soft flesh so tenderly? Do your eyes awake when I whisper in your ear that I love you? There tears lay still as my body relaxes to the dimmed sounds of our last memories together. My mind begins to unravel every last thought of you while I smile at the fact that I will see you again soon. Did you like the roses I got for you? They were the last to fallow you as you were put into the dark of the earth. I'm sorry I was the one who survived that night, I couldn't bring you back. As hard as I tried to fix your bleeding heart, I never realized that mine was fading just as fast. I can't forget those eyes staring lifeless up at mine. Those beautiful eyes that were once filled with so much life vanished so fast. Do you think God will forgive me for what I've done tonight? I hope you didn't cry when I pulled the trigger. The truth is, I found myself without a heart that last night after you left me bleeding. I can't handle this life knowing I can't be happy without you, please don't cry for me, I'll be with you soon. Let my eyes close as this blood stretches across the hard floor. When I open them again, I'll be with you and we will live again forever. Together like we were always meant to be.

A Letter from Heaven
A Letter from Heaven
By Todd C. Stanley
Hello my love, how have you been? I’ve been missing you and the wind here has been getting colder with every day I am away from you. Are you happy without me there holding you and keeping you warm and comforted? I am trying to get by without you here in my arms. I really miss you babe, I keep staring at your pictures but it’s not the same. I miss your eyes gazing into mine showing that glint of love that we’ve both shared. Where are you love, are you wondering where I’ve been as well? This dark blue sky showing the crescent moon reminds me of your smile that shines life into me, that beautiful smile I fell for. Hey babe, are you out there finding what you wanted? Are you experiencing everything you’ve wanted to? Are you gazing into the dark thinking of me? When I see the dark I see memories of you with me and us together laughing and falling deeper in love with each other. Did you know that I am always right beside you? I am right here with you right now, thinking about you and keeping you warm. I am the whisper in the wind that blusters through your hair taking in the aroma of the beautiful rose that you are. Hey babe, please don’t cry when I can’t be there to wipe away your tears. Don’t shed a tear without you in my arms. I’m always keeping a close watch you know? Yeah, it’s true, I see you in all the words you write to me, I hope you can see me with these words that I’ve written for you. Oh my love, I miss your laugh, when you do, it’s a celebration in my heart, it’s a parade, and it makes me burst with happiness. I want you to see how much of a blessing you are to me, if it weren’t for you, I’d be much worse off. I don’t know if I’ve told you yet, but you have been one of the biggest inspirations in my life. You’ve made me want to become a better person, and you did. You’ve made me so happy and I could never thank you enough. Hey look babe, that shooting star is shooting for you, you better grab hold of it and fly away so I can see you and wave when you pass by. I hope you will be able to spot me out when it goes by, and you’ll see me in the stars smiling at you. When you let go, you’ll land in a better place where you can do whatever you wish with your life. Make it worth your while, live the happiest you can. Life is short and it’s too short to be depressed. Always follow your heart, and listen to it well. Never trust yourself, you will lead yourself astray and you may get lost, but listen to your heart and you will always find your way. Babe, before I go, I want to let you know that I love you. Someday you’ll understand what that means and how important it is in your life. When you realize it, you’ll freeze in the moment and your life will change for the better. Someday I hope to have you in my arms again. Remember how much I love you, and I’ll always remember how much you mean to me. I’m keeping an eye out for you babe.

Those Simple Words
Those Simple Words
By Todd C. Stanley
My sanity now spent, I lie here with the recollection of you here by this shattered dream. The brilliant smile that arched across your beautiful pale face will never leave my mind, haunted by the thought that I may never see it again. Like crumpled paper, it will never be perfect again. To this day, I will never stop fighting, love worn like a battle scar, wearing me down until I fall to my knees and beg you to kill me before my heart does. It’s so hard to stay up; it’s the burden so hard to carry. I want to carry it with me always and share it with you. Please don’t let me die here now, don’t let all of this be in vain. Those simple words, “I love you.” Echo across the void, spoken with my heart and spirit so that they may reach your ears and lift your heart. I want you here with me now; I want to stop the clock to watch you lie here with me while those dazzling light blue eyes send me to dream of your voice speaking those simple words, “I love you.” Kiss me once and keep me still, kiss me again and kill me. I’ll die here at your feet with the red of your lips, like the red of my blood now spilt at your feet. Watch me now on the ground as I begin to fade away. My last breath, my last tear, the last beat of my anxious heart is all I have left. I give it all to her with those simple words, “I love you.” Dig out my grave in the deepest place of your heart and bury me there. Your heart is where I want to be for the rest of forever. Remember that I’m always in your heart when you stray from sanity, remember me when you smile, that smile that sparks new life in the heavens above us, remember that I will always be at your side for every fleeting moment, and remember those simple words, “I love you.” …Always.

A Glimpse of Perfection
A Glimpse of Perfection
By Todd C. Stanley
Everything was black and white, save for her brilliant rose red hair, her captivating and enchanting dark lips, and her charmed glowing sapphire eyes that sank even the strongest ships into a world of blue, that surpassed all sequence of twilight. My arm was bowed around her soft waist, my hand holding her delicate side. We were walking up a road that had no ending and no beginning. Everything else colorful were the fallen leaves from a premature autumn that seemed to stray into a light breeze. We were speaking of innocence and whispering love and purity. Her dazzling smile, arched to revile a glimpse of perfection that would make angels sing forever. As we walked rain began to fall around us, everything fell as in slow-motion, the glistening drops of rain, the leaves which blew across the calming breeze, and even we were caught in the trance of the effect of the beauty and tranquility that spread all around us as we started to run. With comforting warmth I gave her my jacket, to protect her from the cold rain falling so gracefully from the heavens. Speech stopped and was replaced by our laughter that seemed to echo all around us, our joy could compare to a child’s first wish, or the feeling of a lovers’ fist kiss. My hand found hers as we ran up the never ending road, her hand felt like an angel’s hand, the softness made silk feel as if it were sandpaper. As our hands wrapped around each other, so did our hearts, clasped around to form a knot that could never be broken. Love had made us almost perfect. Eternities seemed to pass when we stopped running, I held her tight but delicately, keeping her warm and dry. She slowly looked up at me, her eyes swimming with tears of joy and comfort; my head bowed to hers, and made the kiss that would make us perfect. The moment could not be tantalized; our love could not be tampered. This was the stunning glimpse, the glimpse of perfection.

Everything was black and white, save for her brilliant rose red hair, her captivating and enchanting dark lips, and her charmed glowing sapphire eyes that sank even the strongest ships into a world of blue, that surpassed all sequence of twilight. My arm was bowed around her soft waist, my hand holding her delicate side. We were walking up a road that had no ending and no beginning. Everything else colorful were the fallen leaves from a premature autumn that seemed to stray into a light breeze. We were speaking of innocence and whispering love and purity. Her dazzling smile, arched to revile a glimpse of perfection that would make angels sing forever. As we walked rain began to fall around us, everything fell as in slow-motion, the glistening drops of rain, the leaves which blew across the calming breeze, and even we were caught in the trance of the effect of the beauty and tranquility that spread all around us as we started to run. With comforting warmth I gave her my jacket, to protect her from the cold rain falling so gracefully from the heavens. Speech stopped and was replaced by our laughter that seemed to echo all around us, our joy could compare to a child’s first wish, or the feeling of a lovers’ fist kiss. My hand found hers as we ran up the never ending road, her hand felt like an angel’s hand, the softness made silk feel as if it were sandpaper. As our hands wrapped around each other, so did our hearts, clasped around to form a knot that could never be broken. Love had made us almost perfect. Eternities seemed to pass when we stopped running, I held her tight but delicately, keeping her warm and dry.
