Napoleon......i just read your love letter to josephine by Kathryn
Jean Gabrielle

this is my interpretation of a trilogy of books that I read a while ago
about Josephine Bonaparte by Sandra Gulland...I treasured these
intimate accounts of a lovely woman loved by a powerful man...
351 words

I wonder why men take us for granted...

While long ago we were worshipped by men.

They tried to win us over with wonderful words of love

Ardor overcame us...the words dripped with love...

I read the book with wonder...

And a bit of envy...

For the book was about Josephine B. who was loved by N.B.

His love letters were so very intimate and loving that they took
my

breath away

Josephine did not even read them...

Because she was having a love affair of her own...

Poor N.B. did not know she was deceiving him...

And kept on writing letters declaring his burning love for her...

While she tossed them aside and ran into the arms of the first
soldier
available...

When N.B. found out what she was up to...

He was furious and locked himself in the study...

Vowing to hate all women from then on...

But Josephine's tears pulled at his heart strings...

And he forgave her...

He did not know she was lying...

She liked the rich life she was leading...

And she did not want to give it up...

But as soon as his back was turned...

She was up to her old tricks again...

Making deals and secret liasons with men...

She did not deserve such a love...

Because she did not love him at all...

She only liked what he represented...

His love was pure and powerful...

Much like N. B. himself...

What a lucky woman to have such a love...

But what a stupid one to throw it all away...

A heart full of love...

Is worth more than...

A deceitful soul...

She deserved to get booted out of his palace in the story...

Let's cheer for Marie Walewska, N.B.'s one true love...

She loved him purely and for himself...

She made great sacrifices and let him marry another for the sake
of
France...

She remained faithful to N. B. and visited him on Elba when he
was
defeated...

These stories will remain in my memory always...

Because a good love story..

Is like a bandaid...

For a broken heart.
