My great love

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.

How we always yearn for our spirit to be free..and as all the beautifully etched lines of your poems express only love can make it free...unlocking the past and floating in the present merging with it's essence.

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

I love the theme of opening, closing, and fading in this line. It sums up love, albeit simply, pretty well in my eyes. We all must love, we all must hurt, and we all must forget - but most importantly we must move on because that's how we grow.

Really liked this one.

I love the sentiments of this poem. it's amazing as bad and devastating a lost lover can be, somehow we survive to find love again. Our heart needs only to heal then we move on again hopefully the scars fade and we proceed to have amnesia of the hurt. you'd think we'd learn our lesson. but as humans with a basic need to love and be loved we continue to risk and gamble on love despite the pending pain. (whats wrong with us ha ha) great write again!!!!!

I love it. I once loved and miss the mornings where I would wake up to strong arms around me. Now my blue eyes linger in the midst of tears til that day once holds me again.

Beautiful poems. I love how it seems to go back to an older style of writing. Another great write. My favorite part was" We must dance with the moon and stars./Allow the sun to open our to a new day and beginning." For some reason that spoke to me. :)
