Let pretend

Sometime little is better than nothing.

                                      Let pretend.

First drink, last drink.' It doesn't matter my friend.

Smoked filled taverns keep the saints and angels  away.

Just us sinners and forgotten people waiting at the Purgatory Inn for something

to live for.

Pretty woman with many tattoos sit with me and request a poem.

Told me tell me the liar prayer. I need some false hope today.

I told her it will be my pleasure.

                 Liar prayer

Let's pretend we are lovers.

Founding paradise of two lonely people.

Let's  pretend we are in love.

I have pray for you to come.

Let's pretend we have tomorrow.

I want to find peace in your eyes.

Please allow me to fall into the cold bed with you.

Light up dead candles of hope.

I want us to not play dead. Excepting too little.

I want you to show me wild passion and make my world explode.

Let's lay together nude. Whisper twisted words of love.

Make promises we cannot keep.

Show me some sort of love.

Walk with me. Hold me like I'm your first love and last love.

Let's watch the sea retreat back to deep water.

Let's watch the sun rise.

Allow me to embrace you and

whisper words of love that cannot be.

Please my angel, my demon.

Let's pretend we are in love."

The tattoos beauty looked sad and asked me. "Can the dead rise?

Does dead in heart mean buried forever? Will you pretend to love

and need me? Better to know some kind of feeling my Poet friend than to

die with whiskey and alone."

 

Old Poet smiled. Brought the beauty near. Kissed her lips and told her.

The liar prayer is true. We learn to accept less. It not the pure love of

the youth in life. Sometime accepting what we need.

Is enough.

I am astonished.These very words that reflect mere existence,solitude and depression,have miraculously produced such a beautiful poem and in this piece,a pretense of fall love.Maybe their love wasn't false,maybe that's what they thought.You see,we all have expectations of what we desire love to be and as a result of this,we lose sight of what's important-flaws.I see two people,desolate,broken and depressed,but giving themselves to each other and accepting their ugly sides,they have the power to share a love that flourishes..even if it is for one night.It's real and that is what matters.Excellent poem,I love this. Best wishes,you are truly an exceptional poet.

Thank you Renee. Most of us had used the liar prayer. We have not written it down yet. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Sometimes true love is not to be had and instead we choose to love the one we're with, Coyote. May not work for some but it certainly beats being alone and cold in a very cold world. Very heart-felt poetry.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Sometime good to share time with another person. Allow us to know we are still alive. Thank you for reading and the comment.

awww that's kinda sad, but I liked the message at the end, that he was able to give her hope. There were just a few grammar errors but I dont know if they were intentional or not to depict a certain emotion or idea sooooo

[Coyote Poetry]

It was sort of sad poem. In life. We can play many people. Some good and some bad. Thank you for reading and the comment.
