Fool's wish. Lover's hold on.

Love is all we got. Love for your lover, family and life. Give us reasons to be alive.

Dreams can become nightmares. 

Nightmares can become sweet dreams one day.

Fool’s wish. Lover’s hold on.

(Written on 19 April 1985)

I remember when I rushed home to fall into your arms.
We would make love till the morning lights appears.

I was intoxicated by your beauty.
Ties and bounded in a sweet love.

I could watch you dance in dark night clubs.

So beautiful.

Short dress and your favorite red shoes.

The memory still can make me feel weak.I was attracted to you the first time I saw you.

I can still see you reaching your hand to me.
Taking me to the dance floor.Your blue eye and sweet smile.

You didn’t need to say a word.

Your perfect body close to me.
Sweet whispers of  “I need you.”

Make me feel alive and strong.I asked why does a beautiful woman want an old man?

You lay your head into my chest.
Looked up and looked into my eyes.Told me.
“You are old in spirit.
Just need someone to love you."

Nights of passion and emotion.
Brought us to a sweet and demanding love.

To our serene and solace paradise.

Today we sit like strangers.
You tell me it is your fault our world is
falling apart.

I tell you. “I know the fault is equal.

We talk of love.
Sometimes words are just words.”

I try to climb over barrier of disappointments.
I can see only sad eyes and falling tears.

I search my heart.
All I can see is you.
Walking with you on solitude beaches.
Our two hands together.
Drinking sweet wine.

Laying nude in bed till late afternoon.
Not caring what is outside our door.

I asked do you love me?
Pretty blue eyes looked at me.
Whispered.
“I want you to be happy.
I want you to  succeed.
I can’t make you happy.”

I tell you.
“I would be lost.
If you leave my life.
I would never love again.
I’m alive because of your love.”

Please stay with me.
I know the misery and limbo I would fall
into without you in my life.

Please stay with me.
Let’s hold on and find the hunger again.

You give me your beautiful smile.
Asked can we go dancing?
I will put on the sexy red dress.
Find my favorite red shoes.
You can buy me sweet red wine.
We can dance till the bar closes.

I put my fingers through your long blond hair.
Bring your face to my face.
Kiss your lips.

Tell you We will dance then.
Walk on the Monterey beach.
Watch the sun rise.

I will hold you like you are my last breath.

A old poem. Better to love and lost. Then to be alone wishing for chances took.

Reviews

There's not a poem you write that I don't absolutely cherish because your style of writing is that which really touches the heart! You speak wisdom and make it seem as if we are actually a part of that which you tell us about!
You are so right in that it is better to have loved and lost than not at all!!
Another memorable write my friend!!

[AYVID N]

Sad... why does it always have to be this way? Then I think that's life...and we move and change with it...
There's so much to love in this poem about lost love! Wonderfully narrated.

[Eric Cox]

Holds romantic beauty, with sadness. Emotions come through well with nicely penned imagery. An excellent write. Nicely done.

[Frieda P]

Such a sad love story. I love the last stanza, it's full of hope. Beautifully written.

[Zoelouise]

This poem tells a beautiful story. I really enjoyed reading this

[LA Lorena]

You speak suck truth here Coyote. It is far better to risk it and lose love than to live life regretting those chances never took. A bittersweet poem that demonstrates that perfectly. thank you

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I remember reading this. It is very beautiful and sad...wistful.

[Mary]

This is just lovely, that's it. Time reduces burning love almost to ash, almost, but not quite, then embers glow brightly with a red dress and dancing (the walk of the soul)

[Ikai27]

" To love and lost and love again is one of the most beautiful of the melancholic moments of life"

In my late teenage years , I can only hope find a romance like this.

[Valentine]

I agree even though loving and losing can cause sad memories that last a lifetime..I know..Nice one...Kathie
