                  the light and the darkness

You told me. “The black heart, too dark and cold for love. Is just barren soil. Nothing can live in soil swimming in the blood of heartache and disappointment. Love can degrade us, love can delight us. Us mortals believe we are the only ones who had lived and died. The light and the darkness of love can make us know the gallery of the colors of wild love and long dances. What is true is plain and simple. Love grow rampage when love stayed and hold on.”

I watched you dancing nude to the words of Leonard Cohen. You fall to lonely chair and I digest perfect beauty with captured eyes. I told you.

Tattoos memories and hot and warm kisses become painted memories on sacred mind and heart. Long embraces and interlocking bodies become one in enshrined galleries of things gain and lost. You are right dear lover. We must know the light and we must know the darkness. Without knowing darkness. The light would not be known.

Beautiful woman looked up and gave me a tempting smile and she whispered.”The things we believe in. Are held-up by thin strings of hope and need. When love is near. Hold on tightly and enjoy the journey. All journeys have a beginning and a ending. We will celebrate the light and endure the darkness”

"Hold on tightly and enjoy the journey. All journeys have a beginning and a ending. We will celebrate the light and endure the darkness”"

You have summed it up marvelously in those lines and with precision of a wise man and poet. The recipe to celebrate life and conquer its ups and downs. Excellent, sir...:)...............

Hey Coyote Sir,
You nailed the duality and what it necessitates
"Tattoos memories and hot and warm kisses become painted memories on sacred mind and heart. Long embraces and interlocking bodies become one in enshrined galleries of things gain and lost."
Appealing to the hopeless romantic in me.
With respect their are a few typos as above. I believe gain would fit better as gained. The two and's in the first sentence above can be reduced to one.
I Loved it, of course I'm already a Fan Thanks

Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I was glad you stopped by.

All journeys begin, this much is true. Do the all end? I suppose that is the logic that follows a beginning. Unless that journey is a circle, as all love forms a circle, as do trust and hope and faith... this is why the perfect union of two is one...one circle. And that is eternal, even if it ends.
Such tenderness. You take your words of memory and paint the whole world with them, tattoo them on our hearts, imprint them in our minds.
That too begins, but nevers ends.

The twisted emotion of love. Wise lovers hold on tight in the hard days and tighter in the good day. Thank you for reading and the comment my friend.

This is beautiful and might be my new favorite, because it speaks to not just one gender but to both, loved the line "The things we believe in. Are held-up by thin strings of hope and need. When love is near."

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Corset. Love take effort and care. If we don't show gentleness and kindness. Love will disappear.

so true Coyote.

This piece is very well done. I loved it, and the messages within each line are very powerful...especially "celebrate the light and endure the darkness." This really sums up the poem, and it is a great line and stood out for me when reading this. I love it! thumbs up from me and I hope you keep producing wonderful work like this!
