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 do like it, Coyote
very much
So inspirational and hopeful..
Your style and structure is quite unique, Coyote...and though I would think it might jump from hither to yon....it doesn't...It makes perfect sense and flows gracefully to its conclusion...
Great emotional lift,
allen

''Do we support to love but once?

That opening is my favorite. It reminds me of older, classical poetry, which made sense after I read your author's note.

I like your style. It's unique

that's my favorite saying in the whole poem you are a great writer and i look up to you to help me get my writing to look and sound great. even though i don't even have a clue who you are in real life i do look up to you. OK back to the saying from the poem. i look at small stuff in a girl that's why i love this so much. like im the type of guy to love the small stuff like her hair touching you as she lays on your chest to rest. I've never really had that feeling but i know that its a great feeling. it's not the big stuff like holding hands and hugging for a short second its the look she gives you when you made her blush from saying how cute she looks and the action that follows like her fixing her hair and looking down at er shoes. man this poem has me talking on lol great poem

Nice ending to a sweeping piece of thought as heart, which beats to the pages visceral cardiac arrest
someone invested, telling love with his last breath. these lines are my fav. "If the bleeding is unable to stop. I believe we need closure to allow the open wound
to fade to a scar."
very anecdotal in the tone of choice words being bruised ..good stuff

and that is what he said.......wow...I just meld into your poetry

This read felt like it took a while to be written. Like it was something that was built upon over nights and nights of realizations and moments of inspiration. Very nice.
