The cold night whispered

Just words.

                                      The cold night whispered

The April rain hid my tears and I walked alone.

Once  great love turn indifferent and

our love true turn to fathom dreams.

We spoke careless words,

maybe true, maybe not?

Maybe we were grasping at a miracle?

I told the rain,

love died slowly and badly.

I longed for her near,

I longed to hear her heartbeat and her song.

My songbird,

we knew rhyme and song and now,

we know we could bleed.

The cold night whispered to me,

the abyss of love dance,

just great storms we shall know.

Now crimson love touches and

silent goodbyes,

Leave us praying for more.

Now I sit by the sea,

drinking the whiskey and remembering you.

Do you remember me?

' The cold night whispered to me, - the abyss of love dance, - just great storms we shall know. '

You really do look into space to feel the bliss or fever of love, don't you, John. Seems you accept whatever - the feelings much deeper than some by acknowledging the depth and pain of loving.. whether for parent, sibling, friend or- passion itself. This is a wonderful piece of writing, one of your very best.. heartfelt words with such distinct emotions. Perhaps 'intense' is the right word. (Previous review rambled, shortened it!)

At times when the other person had enough. Sometimes we cared too much for that person and we end up hurting them instead. It takes time to heal and eventually, the memories left in our hearts are the happy ones.

I agree my friend. Old age had taught me. Every attempt at love became a kind memory. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Your emotions are well stated in this Coyote. You relate to nature in a way that searches for answers. Sometimes there are none, but many try in the only way they know how.

Great poem.

This just about knocked me flat. It is exactly everything I am feeling at one time. You have a knack for putting my feelings into words so much better than I am able. Beautifully written, deeply poignant.
