If It Be Your Will

               If It Be Your Will

My dear Winter love. I held you so tightly in the  long cold Winter days and nights.

You confessed love and need to me in the safety of locked doors.

You were my Juliet, my savior and I was your Romeo. I was going to save and protect you.

You were my beautiful muse. Your bare skin against my skin, your lips upon my lips. Kisses so warm and sweet.

Made the long nights become warm and safe. I knew we held the utopia of two dreamers who held love over life.

You told me often. "If it be your will.  I will run nude and reckless for you into your wanting arms. I'm your love and you are my love. I want us to become water and fire. Combining together. Create wild storm than a place of calmness."

I remember painting your tender skin with touch and kiss. Roaming perfect secret valleys and hidden corners where lovers fear not the night. Just the day. I told you.

I want you near, my lover. I need your lips upon my lips and  I need your hands upon my heart  caressing me with sweet words and atonement of perfect embrace and no broken promises. After the day is done. You are my only wish and my only need.

You bring me closer and whispered. "If it be your will. I'm here for you  and I won't leave you sweet Johnnie. Love is enough for us and we must embrace the nights with open heart and fearless song.

Life and love. Wisdom in words.

Another beautiful tale of love....all its emotions, longings, caresses, kisses and sighs.
Once again, i am familiar with the expressions of love you have deftly described in this piece. The wanting. The needing. The desire. The promises of neverending love. I know them all, too. They are a very powerful concoction. The true essence of life.
You have weaved another magical love story, once again, Coyote. Endearing writing as always.

your Juliet---i have had my Juliets---and i remember my younger days...love the phrase "running nude into your arms" we had that reckless abandon once...we loved like romeo and juliet...we just went with the feelings and imagined forever keeping each other safe.

love this and felt it....deep in that inside i had years ago.

Thank you Jacob for reading and the comment. Good to be reckless and unafraid.

This is one of your best sensual love poems that I've read. Your writing is much smoother & your imagery more vivid than usual (it's always very good!) I'm thinking about "winter" as being a metaphor for the love that stays by our side during tough times when life feels cold. I love the whimsical phrase that you used for the title, & in her words two times. Who doesn't melt into the lover that makes our needs & desires a priority?

Thank you dear friend. I appreciate the positive comment. Good song and reading 400 poems and stories gave me the will to write.

Winter sometimes leave us by saying "My unfair Verona" But once two hearts
Surpassed that dreadful cold and such and such, then they could very much
Survive the rest of the Season. Lovely and a romantic poetry Sir, very cool.
Thanks EG.

" I want us to become water and fire. Combining together. Create wild storm than a place of calmness."
What else do we truly need? Loving this.

Truly, the words of lovers stay inscribed on the soul long after the passage of eons of time. There is such a spiritual sense to this writing. Such words often recur in dreams.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Divya. This is a old memory. It would be nice to be able to keep the heat of love alive forever.

[DIVYA]

The words still seem so vibrant, so lasting. It was my pleasure to read and to reminisce too. You are most welcome sir.

I love the religious connotations and reverence that the phrase "if it be your will" embodies. Another lovely romantic piece in your very unique voice.

Leonard Cohen been playing for three hours. His words and song are my muse. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

[Lyn Anderson]

yes, Leonard Cohen is a wonderful source of inspiration for many.

[Coyote Poetry]

I saw him live in concert twice in Germany in 1978 and 1979. He was amazing. A four hour show.
