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.

Thank you Sami for reading and the positive comment. Love should be our best days.

[Sami Khalil]

All true. You are welcome...:)......

As we grow older we stop at times and recall those fleeting moments of youthful bliss. Thinking they were the best, then your current partner does something really sweet, and for a few days ones mind is back to reality. Life is a constant change, if it wasn't we would be bored to death. Valentine

You are right dear Poet. We do change and want more or less. Thank you for reading and the comment.

This poem touched my heart.
Beautiful! x

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Amy. I appreciate the comment.

[Stella Armour]

If you find that real, true love just once in a lifetime you are indeed blessed , because no other lover will ever replace the emotions you felt when you were with her..

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Maybe not your first love. It is the person that made you feel complete. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Love is everything...good and bad. Real love is rare and should be cherished but often we don't even recognize it. The desire for love is used my many for many reasons.

An amazing poem, full of sweetness, tenderness and pain. It describes life.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. I agree. I learn new types of love. Love for children and now my Grand children. I wish our leaders led with kindness and hope. Love and kindness open door to peace and friendship.

[Black Cat Fever]

You're welcome. I, too, wish our leaders would lead with kindness and hope as well.

Love is rather confusing and within this poem you conveyed it so well. Also I love the description used within the poem because I can picture it. Thank you for posting this excellent piece of work. Please continue to write more because you have a talent for poetry (im sure many have told you this). Also I recommend that you get some of your work published.

This year I will self-publish. Hard to find real publishers today. Writing is like all things. We must sell ourselves. Thank you for reading and the kind words.

[Shane Hogan Poetry]

I think this is the mark of a true poet. I really like your way of writing how you see it! The dark road twists and bends, but there is lights up ahead.

[Cryingkate]

Here I am from one of your poems to another and still breathing the same breath from the first.
Each one brings the same breath but each one brings a new kind of tear.
Moving could be said about them.. slow and purposeful, However with a mighty powerful lift up and over the Labyrinth

[Coyote Poetry]

I tell people. After a heart brake. Slow and easy. Love take time and kindness. Thank you for reading and the comment. Sometime true love is standing with you and we are blinded to them.

I have found, which we seek from a love to feel loved, was something we already had in ourselves.read moreI have found, which we seek from a love to feel loved, was something we already had in ourselves.
I don't think we actually find love from someone. It is the love inside of ourselves that we think we need a mate to help show us.
Our mates = Our loves are actually fractals, reflectors, Mirrors
I don't think in honestly we love them because how they make us feel.
Even in the case of soul mates. In fact that is the purpose of a soul mate.

[Cryingkate]

Grr, I get frustrated sometimes with this site. It cut off my posting again. Now i have to remember what I wrote:
I was saying that:In honesty, I find that we love someone because of how they make us feel.
Our mates = Our Loves purpose is to reflect all that we are.
We are actually mirrors to each other.
This is the purpose for that Soul Mate we all long for and only some of us find.
It might be of comfort for those who come to see this and once they can see themselves Love usually follows quickly behind.Because then they are reflecting that love from within and drawing love to them.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right.

[Lydia Shutter]

Perhaps old poetry, but certainly acing the test of time! The romantic longing in this one is palpable.

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

These lines get a "heavy sigh" from this reader. Absolutely lovely work. Lydi**
