A mad man prayer

Love can create a madness.

                              
                           A mad man prayer

I woke up with your name on my lips.

THE PHONE IS RINGING.

I dreamed you were calling me.
Bringing me into the heat of your flesh.
Calling my name.
Whispering words of love.

Sweet words.
Thanks for the education of the long ride.

I awake.
Sweating and full of hate.
Not wishing to touch you.
But to hurt you like you did to me.

I make plans to see you.
To find you.
Then the hate seem to fade away.

I pray to be able to fall into your arms.
For you to twist up my mind and heart again.

Make me your slave again.
I would serve you.
For you are what I need.

I fall asleep again.
You come into my dreams.
You are so beautiful.
So sweet and innocence looking.

THE PHONE IS STILL RINGING>

I see myself.
Being drowned in cement till I'm buried.
Unable to breath.
I won't cry out for help. I will watch you pour the last of the cement.

I will wait for my last breath.
You give me a demon smile.
Raise your hands.
 The cement open up for you.

You tell me.
You will not die.
I'm your punishment.

You ran away from everyone.
I'm your time in hell for being a b*****d.

You will be my fool.
I will hold you as a prisoner till only a flicker
of emotion is left.

You will live till you only wish will be a trip into hell.

THE PHONE IS RINGING

I awake and I answer the phone.
I hear a sweet voice.

You whisper. Come to me now.

'A mad man prayer'
Coyote poetry,
This title fits.. the whole thing speaks of self destruction. I have known people which would of robbed me of life too. The first line and last line really give this contrast of dark and light and then everything in between.
'I woke up with your name on my lips'
last line.
'you whisper, "come to me now.'
Your body of work speaks of the pain people inflict on one another and even upon themselves.
Be careful what you wish for was the thread through this piece which is a good bit of advice for anyone whom wants to love and be loved and will simply settle...hard lesson too.
Blessings,
Kathy

Thank you Kathy. I appreciate the comment. Love can be twisted.

Love is something that causes a lot of people pain.
It isn't something that can be controlled in any way shape or form.
When we welcome someone into our lives and they walk out it isn't easy to let them go. We just want to pull them right back to us and never let go of them.
Sometimes love can drive us crazy and even in our subconsious it can haunt us as it does in waking hours.

Perfect. that's what this is.
Blend of the dream state with reality, the agonizing truth in your words.
The story that flows so smoothly among your words.
I love this poem.
The end caught me though, i assumed it would end with it being some random call.
Awesome Job!

Thats what I've been feeling this whole week

[Emotionally Blank yet F..]

This is so good and very amazingly true. I used to be in twisted friendship where this was being done on both sides but to this day I don't know how I played the evil part to this guy. We are still friends but i've distanced myself so we don't get into deep talks that lead to this relationship. Anyways this is really good and it's so sad people go through thid everyday.

When it comes to love, it can be a mad, mad world at times. I love how the phone keeps ringing and the cement scene is brilliant. Very outstanding write Coyote, one of your very best.

Great job. But how come you post poetry from the past? I want to see what you do now, it's probably mind blowing. I love this poem, very raw and so many good parts in it. I can't name all my favorites. Thanks.

Poisenous toxic relationships. I have witnessed others in them and can clearly see where they go wrong, but when you are in one (which I have been there too) it is so hard to see it, or even figure out that it's the thing killing you. Then when you do figure it out.. how to undo it?

I can really relate to this...
