Holy as love

Some short poetry.

                            



             Holy as love

-----

Pretty woman dancing with  me on the Belton, Texas dance hall floor on a Friday night.
She told me. Honey, darling and my sweetheart.
Love demands payment. Love is holy and can be so sweet.
Last kiss, first kiss. Places we lose ourselves and we don't want to be found.


-----

Lover, lover, my dear lover.
Show me dirty. Make me feel used and abuse.
Allow me to confess secrets words hidden safe in cotton sheets and motel painted walls.
Let's show real face and allow the passion dead, to rise again.
Make me wild and free. Make me beg for more.

-----

She whispered to me at the 3am hour.
Love was luck and folly.
The irony of love is we grope and steal till we are filled-up.
We forget love should be fasting and to be savor.
We devour flesh like people desperate to taste and use till we kill the sweet taste of love.

I liked this one very much. Raw and unrelenting. I like the idea of savoring the journey, and how we have all forgotten this is the best part about being in love. Making a mad dash to hold it in our hands before we realize its already crumbled to dust. Inspiring ideas.

If we are lucky. Keeping the love is still possible and thank you for reading and the comment.

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

the dirty side of love is intriguing; lonely people want love soooooooo much they don't mind classifying lust as genuine affection

once again, i love how your romantic honesty makes me ponder on love

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Being too fast steals our chances to know more about what love is.
Very effective subject, CP. Thanks for sharing

dear John... very romantic words and video... Keith Urban has acquired the touch of passion in his music and is married to a beautiful wildflower who has borne his child and wears a smile of contentment. This is the first time I have understood their romance. Thanks for sharing this beautiful rendezvous with me. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Pat. A amazing song. Made me want to write.

The places we lose ourselves and don't want to be found is such a great line, we all have secret dirty fantasies that we want to get lost in. At least I think we all do. Full of feeling as always Coyote.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. We need to feel wild and crazy. Thank you Ana for reading and the comment.

[Ana Papaya]

You're welcome my friend.

I don't think heartburn was as widespread as when people got into fast food - and then they thought 'let's try fast love' and it didn't agree with the heart at all!
I noted that you used the phrase 'show...real face' again like in your other poem 'Lay Lady Lay'.
It's a strong meaningful phrase which speaks volumes.
Well written Coyote.

[Coyote Poetry]

I liked the words real face. I'm trying to find my real face. Thank you Tony for reading and the comment.
