Cry a tear

My first published poem. Some small press put in in 1979.

                              Cry a tear

My heart still can bleed with pain and loss still.
Tears can fall when the night appeared and when your memory
reappeared.

The tears of loneliness.
Loneliness of losing you completely.

I could have survived without your kiss.

But never seeing your beautiful face.
Blessing me with hearing your sweet voice.
Leave me empty and alone.

Your love of life.
Is much too difficult to forget.
I miss the long talks and laughter.

Days have passed since our parting day.
And your memory still lies heavy upon my mind.

Sometime so heavy.
The thought of you make me feel weaken.
Not to tears.

The tears had faded way on a cold rainy night
when I left you alone in your bed.

The sadness of our goodbye is always on my mind.

It was the last day I could see the life in your eyes.

                            Coyote
                            1979

Wow Coyote this was so sad, so beautiful, so... I can't even fine the word that your pieces make me feel. Like I am above all, looking down, and your words just appear and softly they absorb into me, my thoughts, inside all. Like magic it is, your writing has such an effect it is amazing.. This is beauty, for I can feel it..

'Cry a tear'
Coyote Poetry,
You know it is pain, in loss, in our memories real which lies our unique humanity. The things which come out in this poem are the reality which your remember from this person. Someone else of course would feel pain over their own relationship now gone. I appreciated the honesty here and the raw images of some of what was real between yourself and this lady in your younger days. We all understand as having our own experiences and memories. Great one!

You are right dear Kathy. We are building blocks. We never stop learning. Thank you for reading and the comment.

I am delighted to have found your first published work my friend... 1979 was a long time ago and we would both have been young men, pretty much starting out on this journey we are still travelling... Here you write of the pain of loss and of the love of the departed.... yet despite this sadness, there is a beauty here too. It seems that you have been writing good forever ..... Neville

This was so good, I had forgotten how heartfelt your writing could be. Sorry it took me so long in reading this! I feel this way sometimes about the loss of my boyfriend.

Strive for love is often experienced! This was nicely wrote down brother. An alternative is not an answer for a unique question, it will always remain an alternative!
