                        Secret love

We had only minutes and hours together.
We wanted everything and we wanted nothing.
I remember how your eyes tempted me.
They danced like the wild Pacific sea for me.
I held you closely often and we loved each other without needed promises to break.
Today I whisper.
I love you sweet Kelly. You are my secret love that can't be forgotten.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            Everything and nothing

I made the fatal decisions. I kissed her lips and we danced the Texas two-step to the country songs.
I serenaded her with words of love and
I remembered the essence of her skin.
The smell of free flowers and we submerged into the aura where lovers are free and true.
She was Texas beauty and I was a Soldiers.
She told me an Soldier's promise is.  "Just words to spin the mind of the helpless lover, to create
a river of emotions taking hope and heart to deadly place. The soldier's kiss will take you to the
highest mountain and to wild dances in the satin sheets. Soldier's love war and they will break your heart."

Two lovers danced. Blessed by age and good song. Blessed by good song and Texas. The soldier didn't answer. The soldier knew. He wanted everything and he wanted nothing. He kissed his Texas love. Allowed the silence to overtake them. He knew. Words can turn to painful memories. Better to know the tryst of love than fall to burning fire of disappointment.

She told me an Soldier's promise is.  "Just words to spin the mind of the helpless lover, to create
a river of emotions taking hope and heart to deadly place. The soldier's kiss will take you to the 
highest mountain and to wild dances in the satin sheets. Soldier's love war and they will break your heart."

These are beautiful lines that are liked by the heart and nerves.

And also:
He wanted everything and he wanted nothing.

For me it is a philosophical line which defines love is everything and that is a thing or a feeling which when you get it you want nothing.

I hope I analyse it correctly.
Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you Irenic. Soldiers are rotated every two-three years. Hard to maintain a permanent relationship.

[Irenic]

You are welcome. And I agree with your point :)

The first part about Secret Love is so sweetly written. Soft and enchanting.
The second part sends a warning not to give your heart to a person who is just passing by. Very nicely penned

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Mauricio for reading and the comment. I appreciate the positive words.

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

Are these two separate poems?

I like both. However, the top one is so sweet about a secret love reflecting on your title.

The second one is so much like a melody with a weaved message of warning to be aware and careful of whom you love and trust.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Don't give your heart to a escaping person. Thank you Josie for reading and the comment.
