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.

Our life is long, but not long enough.... great way of expressing yourself. Unfortunately tonight I don't feel like writing, but I do feel like reading other people's poems. It's always great to find other people inspiring. That is what this site is for right? lol Great poem, thanks :)

this is what it is all about - but you must look beyond the eyes to keep the music playing.

Magneficent poem! I am literally at a lost for words! From the anger at the beginning to the sweet subtle passion at the end, you truely know how to express those unwanted feelings. You even managed to place a sense of longing, hoping that this beautiful aubron haired woman wouldn't leave you. Yet this longing is so subdue that you must really understand the pain before you can find it. Amazing!

Such a beautiful poem from the heart. I loved the imagery of the physical touch, the trembling cold hands, the twisted hair, the love dances. What an expression of love. Does love ever truly have closure? Would we really want it too? For if it did wouldn't these memorable images lose some of their meaning and clarity in our minds? Fabulous love poem Coyote Poetry

This was beautiful, and I think you found your muse. Maybe I should begin to read some of the great poets, and I could write a lovely poem such as this.

[A.Lee]

Wow, this is beautiful Coyote. It has a very different feel than your other poems, yet the underlying theme and reflection of your style is the same. Very gripping.

"We must dance with the moon and stars.

Excellent work.

This part was overly haunting to me, I love your style, and you convey a lot of passion through your writing. Seriously, I love it, it's brilliant : )
