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..

Your love of life.
Is much too difficult to forget.
I miss the long talks and laughter.
Poignance is felt in this stanza. I like how the words are straightforward. Powerfully sad piece. I felt our pain in the words and that truly marks your excellence. Losing someone is probably the hardest thing---this i'm sure of. So the sorrow is really moving. Greatly somber piece here Coyote. It hits base. Magnificent!

To me this is a heartfelt tribute to the love that existed between the two.. The sorrow and loss weighs heavy. "The sadness of our goodbye is always on my mind". Perfectly said.. Thank you for sharing..
