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.

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.

[~ Stefanie ~]

This is so sad :( Very emotional write... I could definitely feel your pain and remorse throughout the whole piece. Great job!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

We never know when we will never see someone again that is why we must enjoy the here and now with them... another great lesson in your words.

Nice Coyote... a void of longing leaves an empty heart

[Calypso]

Wow

[Tina Kline]

A very sad and tragic poem. Deep winter always seems like pain, regrets and sorrows. Time gives us the curse or gift of looking back and wishing we'd did things differently. But time cannot take some people away from us...they are always there, very present in our everyday lives.

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]

Awesome work...
memories and tears cry....
but can bring joy and innocence too...
Brilliant :)
