Can cry a tear

Old poetry. When heart was hopeful and strong.

                             











 Can cry a tear



















My heart still can a tear.

A tear of loneliness.
A loneliness of losing you completely.

I could of survive without your kiss.

But never see your beautiful face.
Blessing me with your knowledge and
your love of life.

Is much more difficult to forget.

Days have past since our parting day.
Your memory is tattoo on my heart and mind.

Sometime so heavy.
Even the thought of you can make me feel
weaken. Not to tears anymore.

The tears had faded away on a Winter night long ago when
I left you alone with tears and a final goodbye.

You are always on my mind.
I dreamed you came to my door.
Your beautiful blue eyes looking into my eyes.
I reach for you and I awake.

I cry a tear.
I realized when I left you on the cold Winter day.
It was the last time I could see the life in your eyes.

                          Coyote

Author's Note

Old poems are funny. Today old Coyote wish he knew what innocent was and wished his life was a open road.

I wonder if the lady in this poem is she of "The Road", which I have recently read. You speak so fondly of the people in your past, I hope one day that I can be thought of as affectionately as you think of the people you have known. I hope that some day you find a way to share this poem with she about whom it was written. The line "Your memory is tattoo on my heart and mind" is my favourite of this piece. Those who touch us deeply touch us forever, and they all leave their marks.

Sometimes it is when we lose that we know the meaning of what we had.. but you know this already..
You write so beautiful Coyote, I bet she remembers you with a soft heart ...

A heartfelt and touching old piece, filled with emotions. The last line was surely a tear jerker. Beautifully penned.

Wow, a beautiful write and I really like the last two lines, 'I realized when I left you on the cold Winter day.
It was the last time I could see the life in your eyes.'

Excellent:-)

Tears tell a lot, and bring back memories. You built that concept beautifully in this write and your emotions (back then) could be felt.
And not only are old poems funny, but they are magical as well - even in 100 years, you can read it again and it will bring you back to that particular moment. This is the best part of conveying your feelings into words and this write is an example of it.
A moving poem, well done.

This is something come alive, and it lives immortal in someone's soul, a new creature everyday. Some days it can caress our souls, and then carry is so far away; to come back with heartache. No matter how old, it is timeless to our hearts.
