Never left to lose

Just words, photo and song.

I lay in the silence of deadening silence. All dreams dead and buried when you left me alone. You were my savior and my killer. I remember the first kisses, drinking and smoking cigars. We laughed at life and tomorrow was just another day to be lived.

I remember you stripped down to bare skin and danced upon the October Pacific sea shore. I knew the Gods of the sea and I was blessed to watch you dance.

I knew you were the November breeze. Just touched our skin and disappear to unknown places, leaving old men with wishes and songs to be sang.

I sit alone on the Seaside beach. I write words and sing lonely song. Me and the sea cry and wish to see your beautiful face and your perfect nude body dancing for us. Life had took it toll.Old men wish and young men try.

I told the young Poet. I have nothing left to lose. Love is the best sensation, leaving the essence of things we cannot hold again. Sometime accepted limbo is safe and sound.

I told the moon and the sea. I loved her. I did.

I remember you stripped down to bare skin and danced upon the October Pacific sea shore.- This reminds me of a story about my first love. I remembering him telling me how he cast off his coat in the December snow and ran wild, drunk, and free across campus. Nice imagery, brings back memories for me...


I told the moon and the sea. I loved her. I did.- Made me tear up a little bit.

I am strongly reminded of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

I must research J. Alfred Prufrock. Thank you Diana for reading and the comment. Good to be wild and crazy when we are young and fearless.

It's a poem by T.S. Eliot. It deals a lot with the passage of time, getting old, and the theme of youth in contrast to old age. (I suspect you'd enjoy it). :)

I will look it up. Thank you Diana.

I love how you love love, coyote, how you sip on the memory and bring it back to life for the world to drink with you. Your a man of many moments that are vividly cherished and shared.

"All dreams dead and bury when", change bury to buried. Just a thought, I have them so seldom. "Life had took it toll." Maybe took to taken it's.
Beautiful poem of love. I like it a great deal. Very nice. Thanks,
