My great love

True love is rare. Hold on tight. Doesn't always last forever.

My great love
A Poem by Coyote Poetry


Pain of love lost must disappear into the wind.



                    My great love

Do we support to love but once?

Where have my ancient lover's gone?

Chain of passion and spiritual journeys leave
me with kind faces in dreams.

Everlasting smiles so rare they scar my heart and mind.

Are we love victims and the heart must die?

If the bleeding is unable to stop.

I believe we need closure to allow the open wound
to fade to a scar.

I remember trembling and soft hands opening the doors
taking the chill of the cold night away.

Cold Winter and rough weather allow the comfort of
two people to find peace for a time.

I remember the comfort of long nights.
Sweet joy of love dances in early morning.
The smell of skin and twisted hair against me.

My wrath took away the sweet memories and opening
of precious love and emotion.

Now sweet love bade me welcome.
My soul cannot see the beauty that dwells in my
sweet lover's eyes.

I sit upon the sand near the Atlantic ocean.
The sea winds is blowing from east to west.

I pray to the sea to allow my spirit to be able
to run free and be clean again.

The night revealed.
Beautiful auburn hair woman come to me.
Whisper we must live to love.

We must dance with the moon and stars.
Allow the sun to open our heart to a new day and beginning.

We will have many great lovers.
Our life is long and we shall be tested.

Great narrative, as always. I enjoyed the images and the details you put into it. Alas, love can be such a b***h sometimes.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree and thank you for reading.

Emotional and sincere. Despite only having had one great love in my life, I understand the heartbreak of losing her. I love the hopefulness of the second half.

A moonsoon of feelings with each line. Passionate!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. It is sad when people give up too soon on love.

Unfortunately, not all vessels are made to hold all that love has to offer.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Love need perfect timing, the right place and two people wanting the same things. Few times in a life can happen.

Yet, those times make the waiting worth the while :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Took me 36 years to find poor wife. Can't happen.

Ohhh... I see

[Bonaventure Onuabuchi]

The beginning is somewhat a sad one; it depicts a theme of lost love.... Are we love victims and the heart must die? The rhetoric question here creates a pause to think! Nice job my friend...

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. Love will test us. Strong people keep hoping and trying.

[Bonaventure Onuabuchi]

So wise a saying- strong people keep hoping and trying... I love that.

[TheLostMind]

Loved it. You have painted a picture with your words.
" Everlasting smiles so rare they scar my heart and mind.
Are we love victims and the heart must die?" - Beautiful.

Good job. :)

Are we love victims and the heart must die?

If the bleeding is unable to stop.

I love how this is structured, after asking this question you go into the process of being able to make the bleeding stop. Loved it.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. Time and separation make all wounds less painful and the bleeding stop.

[MsJewel]

Your poem is beautifully soft and romantic.
