Blue eyes

A very old poem. A wise man always speak with love and kindness to the woman he loved.

                  Blue eyes

A blue eyed angel is crying for me.
In the turmoil of a kind love.
The paradise of burning and powerful emotion.
It can create a strange prison.

I hold her too tightly.
Then I don't hold her enough.
The fine line of give and take.
Held on by a few words.

I tried to speak softly.
I don't want to create a wall of hate and separation.
When the fire of disappointment is upon us.

I close my eyes.
I whispered to my love.
"Let's stop this craziness. Let's sit together.
I need to feel you next to me. To  stop the anger and hurt.
Let's tear down the wall of hate and disappointment. Before the safety of
our love can't be repaired."

She falls into my arms.
I whispered. "In a nightmare you didn't love me anymore. You were my only
sweet dream. And I stood alone and watched you leave my life. I fell down and could
not get up."

"I allowed you leave my life. I didn't want to make you feel unwanted.
 You were my only wish. I would drown in sadness then to hold you as a
prisoner in a love you did not desire.
For your sweet love have given peace to a man running in circles,
till he looked into your beautiful blue eyes."

My blue eye lady kissed my lips and brought me close.
Told me. " You are my only love. You have taught me love is kind and good. Open doors with gentle touches to a new world. Love is hard and need two strong people holding on tight. Love can make us crazy. We need to be kinder and celebrate our time together."

I brought my blue eyed angel closer. I kissed her hands and told her. "I will always love you. The vision of you dancing to Leonard Cohen and allowing a foolish man into your life. I will always remember."

My beautiful lady whispered. " I will always be a safe place for you. I will love you forever and a day."

Lessons are many in  life.
 
Love brings love.
Kindness brings kindness.
Some words are best left un-said.
For words can break a heart forever.

Love this poem, it is so sweet and wholehearted: the reader can very easily see that the two truly loved each other.

One thing you should recheck are some verbs. For example at the end, it should say "love brings love" and "kindness brings kindness" etc.
And I'm not really sure, but I think it should be written as 'blue eyed angel'. Don't really know if that's correct though. :)

Anyway, beautiful poem!
Cheers.

I'm reminded while reading this about so many times we let love slip through our fingers..and are left with that bittersweet yearning and wonder of what could have been.. This poem moves my heart because of the message of grasping the moment.. Why don't we more often as humans seize the moment when it lands at our doorstep? Small single moments can create mountains out of mole hills :) You have touched my heart with this write today..and I will come back and re read it again.. You and your blue eyed beauty are in my thoughts..xxx

This is beautiful, stunning, and all the stuff Leonard Cohen could say about it.

I would like to read it again and again. It's so good! The images that you have captured is commendable. I liked that picture too. A very emotional piece. Loved it.

You left me breathless. This is an amazing poem of love. Reading this took me to places that felt good. When a poem moves the reader, the poet is right on the mark. You, Coyote, are right on the mark.

I read this over a few times to just bask in the warmth and beauty of these words.Most excellent poem Coyote. You always write from your heart and you do it beautifully.

Thank you for another brilliantly written poem packed with energy, emotions, good feelings and love.

I loved it from beginning to end.

Such an emotional piece.. I almost cried reading this one. Few people are lucky enough to love someone strong enough to hold on and I must say you are one lucky man! Thank you so much, Sir :)

Resonating voices of tender, young emotion. Love that is sweet, sincere and innocent.

"Love bring love.
Kindness bring kindness.
Some words are best left un-said.
For words can break a heart forever"

What a wonderful ending
