A reflection of the many books I have read over the years about the great love between Napoleon and Josephine...
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, the words dripping with desire... Pen caressing paper...each stroke Making pulses race... 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 His love was pure and powerful Much like N. B. himself Marie Walewska, loved N. B. purely and for himself She only asked one thing of N. B. To help save her beloved Poland She made great sacrifices for the sake of N. B. and France... She remained faithful to N. B. and visited him on Elba when he was defeated At Sainte Helene, Napoleon's last words were of Josephine... His last words were 'the isle of elba, josephine, the king of rome' His last memories were of josephine He loved her still... Josephine remained until her last days at Malmaison.... creating beauty around her world and music Her last words were of Napoleon... She said, 'Napoleon, the King of Rome, France'... She kept him in her heart always... Their love was stormy and passionate... Josephine was one star in the galaxy of Napoleon's world... He conquered worlds just for her N. B. died with her Name on his lips Forever enchanted By his Beloved Josephine...
