Can return no more.

Words and actions can create bridges that can't be repaired.

                         Can return no more

We can dwell in paradise,
Swim in pleasure and sweet dreams.
We will believe time is our friend.

We know the  sun will rise and fall into the sea and
the dust will turn into night. Love will grow and falter.

Lucky lovers know.
Love is measured in seconds,
a lucky person knows to hold on tight when the fire is hot.

We are vulnerable to weaknesses,
love will decay and the heart will turn cold.
Pretty faces who sweet lips made us feel safe,
Can't be found no-more.

Beautiful maiden who spark hope and desire,
once were young and hopeful.
We left them alone to learn sadness and pity.

Woman are gifts to wise men.
A man with common sense
is kind and gentle with his lover.
Ensure she is content and her wishes are fulfilled.

When the heart grow old and tire.
We learn too late,
can return no more.

Beautiful places and faces,
only rise up in sweet dreams.
The heart will die a thousand times and
the farewells will lay heavy upon the heart and mind.

I learn to hold my muses close.
I whisper with words on paper.
A foolish person extinguished the fire of love too soon.
A wise person hold on till the ecstasy of passion fade away
and the love is gone.

Love is like the four seasons.
We will change and become different.
True love will grow and change like the seasons.
Better to be like a willow tree in the Spring.

Able to move and dance with the wind.

I felt the sadness of love lost and cherished. Holding on to the dream is much more gratifying when you've experienced the bliss first hand...

This is a beautiful display of emotion. Melancholy, yet hopeful of dreams~"Able to move and dance with the wind"

Well penned!

An ode to what could be, to what has been, and a love poem almost, to all those of us that need to hear the wisdom of those who can truly give it. To me, an uplifting piece, though perhaps with a sad heart. Thank you Coyote for this wonderful work - and for all your poems and thoughts.

You speak with so much heart, and wisdom my friend, ah, this is fantastic. You're such a seasoned man at heart, experienced many, and you have many stories to tell to us and even though I'm not there as often as I should, I love your pen. And I will come back for more, this was so hopeful, I agree with you that love is like the four seasons, that's also why I love vivaldi. This is really beautiful my friend. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Beautiful, and well written.
I especially like the last three stanzas~( "...The heart will die a thousand times and
the farewells will lay heavy upon the heart and mind...I learn to hold my muses close. I whisper with words on paper...Love is like the four seasons. We will change and become different. True love will grow and change like the seasons. Better to be like a willow tree in the Spring. Able to move and dance with the wind.") Those lines are just expertly worded.
With that said, there are some minor gramatical errors sprinkled throughout, and I find it breaks the flow of the writing. My advice would be to thoroughly spellcheck your work before publishing it to ensure the reader's satisfaction.

All and all, job well done :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Jason for reading. I do need a good editor.
