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 love the depth, intimacy, and emotion of this one. It is very easy for the reader to relate to you and step into your shoes. Feel what you're feeling.
I have come to notice with your writing, with each line I read I sort of have to re read it to help it sink in. I do not necessarily think this is a bad thing.
I think it is because every line you write has so much depth to it. So much to learn, understand, feel, relate to and grasp with the way you shape your words from whats in your heart. I think that because of it, you speak directly from your heart, the heart of the writer, to the heart of your reader.
I like how this poem presents feelings, emotions, sadness, problems- but also solutions, hope, and happiness. I was able to relate in many ways to it, not just on the aspect of love but also friendship and family.
Thank you for another great write. I truly love reading your writing and look forward to it often. You are very talented.

So many never recover fully from a heart break, they never realize the heart yet fragile is our strongest organ. Most never find love because they don't allow others to love them. Your poetry is always right on target, bravo.

holding on is easy... its letting go thats difficult... i think with this writing you transcend the normal barriers and thoughts... and you evolve into a next level of genius... outstanding!

Nice stuff Coyote! "If the bleeding is unable to stop.
I believe we need closure to allow the open wound
to fade to a scar." Very poignant stuff brother.

I also like this poem a lot. It gives many emotions and descriptions that the narrator is feeling, which is a very good thing. It's a really nice poem, great piece of art!

[just rose.]

I love the intimacy in this as I love all of your love poems. You do such a good job of combining natural landscapes with these intense feelings that often don't have words. The auburn hair is my favorite part.
