You are always on my mind.

Love may be gone. The tattoos of love will always be with us

              


     






You will always be on my mind

The splendor of true love,
Where you allow the wall of fear to fall completely down.
Allowing emotion and desire to take two people away to finding the real
pleasures learn by the burning candles and sweet red wine.

We touched our wine glasses.
Held our kisses deep and long.
The locked door leaving us protected and safe.
In a dreamer's paradise.

The coldness of Winter brought her to me.
She wanted someone to read poetry to her and keep her warm.
I wanted someone to give me hope and strength. 

I remembered she came to me late in the evening.
Holding wine coolers and desired conversation.
Dressed like a woman and
the innocence of a child wanting me to open my door for her.

I saw a devil dressed in a sexy black dress with a hunger that
I could not control.
I watch her take off her coat. Allowing my eyes to see her beautiful 
young body. The short skirt allowed me the pleasure of seeing her long legs.
I told her. "Sometime better not to start something we cannot stop. "
 
She came to me. She went to her knees. Laid her long red hair across my lap. 
Raised her face to me. I looked into clear blue eyes and lost control.
She was just a baby. Nineteen and fearless. I was still young and strong.

I knew if you start a fire you can't put out.
The final act will be sadness.

She took my hands and kissed them.
She whispered. "You have been so kind to me. Had great patience being my
teacher at work. I know you desire me. I see how you look at me. I want someone to
show me the world. Teach me pleasure and pain. Show me what love is supposed
to be. I want a man's hands on my body. Not a boy's."

I asked for a wine cooler.  Told her. "I don't know".

She gave me sweet kisses and took my hands. She wrapped her arms around me.
Asked. "Should I go?"

I said "no".

The cold of Winter was blowing a gentle northern breeze.
I looked out at my skylight.
I prayed not to make a fool's wish tonight.

Two lovers begin a new journey.
When passion and desire come. Very hard to stop.
The beauty of the first kiss. The first caress. The first taste of a lover's skin.
Stays with you forever.

I knew already. "Fine line between sex and love. Sex creates peace for the body.
Love creates peace for the soul. When you dance with the young in heart, pleasure is the desire, and love is not so important."

I still remember the love making. Wasn't for pleasure. Was to fix a desire that grew with each touch. Her hunger grew till one day, early in the Spring, she left me. I knew the day would come. Some woman are to be held forever. Some are to be held for a moment.

I allowed her to leave. I knew it was better to be kind in the goodbye.  My heart was gone and I found little solitude in my life. I joined a war to escape her memory.

Funny, life is a circle. We met two more times. We had a strange bond. 
Even today, years later. I wish to touch our glasses  filled with sweet red wine. Touch her perfect body till the morning light. Some dreams become nightmares. Then the nightmares become sweet dreams.

I told her often over the year. "You are always on my mind."

Relationships are give and take and the right balance makes both feel complete...

Once someone touches our heart then they will always be there.

I like how you used lines similar to this one in other poems. They really speak to me.

This epic is one for the ages, Coyote! So emotionally powerful, so beautiful! ㋡

This really gripped my heart. Especially your opening line;
"The splendor of true love.
Where you allow the wall of fear to fall completely down."

Reading those words reminded me of how delicate and vulneralbe that place of being is, but yet, how wonderful. Something I am always afraid of approaching.
Thank you for the reminder that this is the path to true love.

I apologize I took so long to return the favor by way of review. Is this your newest work? The beauty and the sadness of this piece really gripped me, and it brought to my remembrance the loves of my own youth...so long ago now, but always they will be a part of me. I feel that there isn't much difference between having gone down this road with someone, or having had the chance to do so but not taking it...both forever haunt some of us. The only thing I would look at in way of editing is getting the tenses right, because throughout the poem they are a tad confusing. All the emotion and telling of the story are complete in themselves; just edit the tenses and this piece will read more fluidly and be absolutely perfect:)

Oh...the perfect story. I'm so glad i read this today. Coyote...this has touched my heart. I dont know how to express what I have to say. The ending is simply amazing. Love the quote "you were always on my mind". The more i read it the deeper I love it:)



just one or two errors

[Jvl narasimharao]

I think it is a real story or it is as real as a real story

[Calypso]

I like this. It's so, so good. There are times when people never leave our minds and even their name brings up memories.
So sweet and full of love.
