_A thousand kisses deep

Just words

                               A thousand kisses deep

We found love with the birth of September sweet wine and the Indian Summer of late October in Germany.
You were a beauty and a sweet dream, blond hair and eyes of blue,  Stole my thoughts and my heart.

We drank the sweet wine of September and danced with the celebrating kids by the small lake. We would hold embrace and share long and sweet kisses.

We learn the secrets of skin and need. We needed the tenderness and the roughness in the same caress.. Using hands, touch and kiss like a canvas of a painter. We discover love expanded and grew out of control.

You were my Autumn love and we shared a thousand kisses and we tried to stay warm in the cold days of Winter.

Spring came. Life stole us away to different places. I was off saving people who did not want to be saved. You were moving on to new dreams and life. We attempted to keep the love alive, but the sweetness and wildness of youth.  Make the value of love dispersed to sweet dreams and forgotten places.

Today I dream of being young and the thousand kisses shared. Sweet memories for a old heart.

As I, yours. Without love, our lives would be nothing more than going through the motions...love is indeed the true elixir of life.

Wow, this is incredible. Starts off so sweet and romantic and beautiful, but slowly it becomes sad and loses its warmth as things become bittersweet. That said, even to the last line, it holds onto that warmth and the fondness of the loving memories. Sometimes the pain is too deep, but sometimes it's something we think back on now and again with some sort of nostalgia. Beautiful writing.

[Coyote Poetry]

Every relationship teaches us something, gives us something. Of course, some much more than others. The good, happy ones are such a blessing as their gifts give over and over in the remembering...such as this relationship, this love, this remembering. Beautiful!

What sweet sensual seasons speak through your words. And here we can linger in the light of this beautiful loving, and dream it again, in endless longing.

In your words we're transported to another place and time, a paradise. And if only in memories now, it is so warming and full of wonder. This still so beautifully arouses love from distant lights.

You have said so eloquently what most of us feel at some point in our lives. The sweetness and the harshness of young love -- we carry those bittersweet memories all of our lives, don't we? Thanks for putting me in touch with some of mine, Coyote!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Taylor. Good to be young and hopeful. If we are lucky. Find the emotion of the joy of love often in a life.
