The crossroads of the embrace or the decay?

We decide what we need and not with the quickest of decision. If we knew. It was the last time you would see someone face. Would we release them forever?

                     The crossroads of the embrace or the decay

Wanton Lovers who dances in zealous of a boundless love once are facing each other with
tears and sorrow.  The shrine of love had been devoured by blacken memories and poor decisions.

Promises made and broken strand two people on the crossroad of decision. The city sleeps and
two people stand like gunfighters on the edge of right and wrong.. Ready to kill and bury a once
sweet and endearing love.

Young girl holding a stuffed animals with words upon it chest. "I will love you forever." She asked. "Do you remember when you ran home to me. Kissed me upon my ears, upon my cheek and carried me to the soft bed of soft cotten linen and the smell of scented candies. You couldn't get enough of me. Were we just actors swimming in fake passion and love?"

The sad lover looked to the sky. He remembered how he desired his true love. Stopped his life to spend time with her. He told her. "Lovers love. Haters hate. I remember you. You were the girl with the wildflowers in your hair. A outlaw in life and great dreams. We have came apart somehow. We must decide to embrace or die. The decay of love will come and steal the sweetness  from the embrace. We must find the mercy to forgive and hold on."

The young woman sat by the river. She looked at the stars. She was deciding where the crossroads would lead.
There was no great sin between them. Work, children and life were tearing them apart. Soft tears fell from the
woman and she got up and embraced her lover. She told him. "Love is delicate. We must find the old paths and rekindle things lost. I love you still. You taught me love was fair and you allowed me to be myself. Never tried to change who I'm"

Two lovers holding tightly. Watched the sun arise from the east. They have learn.

All decisions of love and life can send you into darkness or the light. Wise people hold on. Love is tender and
can be easily broke-down by  bad actions and poor judgement.  Real love stand strong in the hurricane of
life.

Old Grandpa told me. "Grass may look greener and better across the street. You won't know unless you cross
the street and touch and feel the green. Most folks learn. You left a good place and cannot return. The grass you left was perfect and strong"

Song of the dead. The song of the living.
The ancient lovers know.
Real love had good and bad days.
Real love rise and fall with the tide of living.
Fear not the night.
Wise lovers will hold on.
Ensuring promises are kept and the love is sow and never forgotten.
Sweet love, tender love.
Please do not forget me.

You're so welcome Coyote.

[Sheila Kline]

Your writings never cease to amaze, nor disappoint me my friend! I like where you are going with your newer writes so I am hopeful that you shall continue to "think too much" as your thinking is producing some amazing writes as is this!
I like the way you tell us of the lovers and of how they have come together, but you do so with so many lessons and sentiments that pertain to others in how to deal with, understand, accept that which comes with love!
This is beautiful............absolutely!!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Sheila. Easy to write about things after we had tripped often in life.

[Sheila Kline]

Yes indeed...........we live and learn and it is important to learn from the tripping a lesson to remember.

Sheila, Thank you so much for putting the words right. You have spoken for my heart and thoughts in words I couldn't find. I too see what you see and the importance of them.

The other day I learned a lesson about "opinion" I think that viewpoint can also be an opinion.
There is not much I can say or add to this beautiful write with my viewpoint.
I have decided that I want to choose what opinions and viewpoints that I want to listen to, for it is the same as sharing the same Spirit. When we share minds and hearts with each other, we also share and intertwine Spirits.
This is your viewpoint a fractal of your thoughts.
I enjoyed as always,sharing your thoughts.
I enjoyed very Much intertwining with your Spirit here.
I feel Blessed to close my eyes and see your heart.
Thank you for another Beautiful journey..

[Cryingkate]

What can I say.. you made the lesson fun and exciting.
