I don't remember how you looked.

I don't remember how you looked.

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

Old memories dance in my head.

Dreams can become nightmares. Nightmares can become sweet dreams one day.

Dreams can become nightmares. Nightmares can become sweet dreams one day.


I don’t remember how you looked.



I don’t remember how you looked.

Your eyes were blue, maybe hazel green?

Your hair golden blond or maybe strawberry red?


I  try to describe you and each time I remember less.


Sometime I dream of grasping your hair,

our bodies fighting for the sake of pure pleasure.

You calling out my name, words of love.

You spoke only in the turmoil of sex.


I yearn to see you still.

Your sweet hello’s were sweet and long.

Our goodbyes were long and written deep into the walls of my heart.


I remember your long legs.

You dressed like a woman.

But had the hunger of a child,

seeking the education of the tongue, the touch and the long ride.


I don’t know if you remember me.

I still seek you.

Your hunger was to become mine

and my hunger was to touch you again.


I lost you on a cold Spring day.

I became old as you walked away

with tears and too many words spoken.


I released you for my hunger was to have you forever.

You were seeking a place to rest and get strong again.

Your wish to be free. Was more powerful than mine to

in prison an angel.


I still wish for a gentle knock on my door.

To hear your sweet hello.

Fall into your arms again.


Life is only fair in sweet dreams.

I wish to see you.


To look into those beautiful eyes.

To remember how you looked.

"Life is only fair in sweet dreams."
~oh how life isn't fair in reality... but we make it better in positivity..
this is really beautiful... full of longing to the person who went away.. old memories help us remember the happy times though we can never went back and re experience the event... the least we could do is cherish the moments in our heart..
Beautiful work my friend.

As our memories fade, revealing a more limited view of what was, we can still hold onto the emotion my friend
