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.

Oh yes, I like it very much. A piece that fosters deep reflection on how my actions affect those I come in contact with.
thank you for a super poem.

[KimLove "The Beautiful ..]

Wow Coyote, this was something that touched me, I think you're right I think we need our poetry to soothe our souls. It's funny the last two lines I cannot figure if they are sweet and say it all or if they are sad and speak reality. I hope you understand that statement.xx

[Emily Rae]

wow, this enveloped the complex nature of love (had and lost) beautifully.

[anne p. murray- LadeeAn..]

Oh so many regrets of our foolish youth; unsaid words, unkind words, words not appreciated. Lovers came and left, whether by out choice or the others.
The "what ifs" are endless yet if we dwell on the past, as you so truly say:

"I believe we need closure to allow the open wound
to fade to a scar.
Sometimes closure isn't alwys possible, but forgiveness is ours to accept

As Oprah said on a show the other day: "Forgiveness is letting go of the hope that the past can be changed"

Thank you for sharing this poem

I so loove the feelings you express in this poem. Love is not momentary, it cannot be erased, although so many peole seem to do just that. I adore what you have written here.

[msharma]

The free flow of sweet thoughts prevails the whole of the poem ,it really is exotic.

[Tasha]
