The damn road

The damn road

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
"

The road can tempt a man to escape even in the heat of paradise.

"

























The damn road

 

  It was a  cold winter day in late December. 

I awoke with my love.
I kissed her face and lips and whisper "Good morning. "


Her beautiful young body pressed against me so tightly.

I could  hear her heart beating against my skin.

 I put my face into her flowing red hair.

 I wished for this moment not to end.

  I found her again.

 She broke my heart years ago.
I try to escape her memory by going to war.

The damn road put us back together again.

I escaped to war to lose her memory and now I'm  swimming in  warmth of her flesh and
looking into beautiful blue eyes yearning for laughter and joy again..


She told me I must get up. It was getting late.

 I was driving from Michigan to California that morning.

I brought  her closer and could hear the road calling me.

I watch her dressed.

 She was as  beautiful as when we were young and our hunger to love was possible.

I saw in her face. The joy in her eyes to have me with her. 

So funny I also saw her  desire for me to leave.

We share a meal and many tender kisses.

 I waved goodbye and I saw soft tears in her eyes as I drove away..

I should of turn back and never allowed her to leave my life.

But the damn road and my heart couldn't take losing her again.

This is poignant and gripping.

Such sadness that you carry. Your words making it personal to the reader as well, awakening memories, we all wish to leave forever dorment of loss. It was well presented. Easy to float upon with no snags. Completely beautiful! Thank you for sharing :-)

As usual, you show that you have known much and feel much. Your tales of love and loss always convey your sadness and your sorrow so clearly. I do feel for you greatly.

A extravagant telling you have penned. I think it shades many elements but none as great as truth.

Sometimes we make choices we live to regret. I know I have. A very sad tale indeed.

What a heart-wrenching story! I love it. I love the theme of the road--as though he has filled the part of his heart that she could rest in with the road, and at the end, he has to pick, and maybe he didn't make the right choice. A sensual piece. Awesome poem!
