                          Liar

---
She was as pretty as a warm July Summer morning.
She knew I loved her and I would live and die in her arms.
I savored our lips upon lips.
Our skin upon skin and
I knew she was just a wish  and a prayer.
I knew you can't stop the sun or the moon from rising and falling.
I knew her heart was not bounded to one place or one man.

--------

She whispered, please stay with me my dear lover.
The night is long and scary when we are alone.
Please hold me tightly and please whisper love words.
Dear Poet, the liar's prayers make us feel safe when the chill of the night overcomes us.
Even a wisp of love is a blessing.

Weeping and beautiful words. Gentle stream of love. Liar prayers can save our lonely evening after hard heart breaks. We need the hope and new light. And they provide for us what we need. In my case I always listen to Alice Coltrane . Her music make me all the time.

Old poetry. Sometime we accept less. To survive the dark days of life. Human contact is needed and thank you for reading and the comment.

Even a wisp of love is a blessing.
This is very true my dear friend.
I wonder where our the real us go when it comes to love

[Coyote Poetry]

Most of us make many mistakes. I learn we must walk slow and easy into love. Love isn't to be stole. Love is a the finest gift.

[boygene borice]

Very true.

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn..]

Sadly, there will always be those who use their looks to place us under their spell with their words that charm us with the wooing melody of what we so long to hear as our heart's become addled prey for the mortal strike of a venomously voluptuous snake we hold tenderly in our embrace ... Well done ...

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Marvin. I appreciate the comment my friend.

[Writing Angel]

I love this ... everyone prays this prayer ...to have love more than use and the wisdom to know the difference

I agree dear Poet and thank you for reading and the comment.

Indeed, let us be grateful for even a wisp of love, if it comes our way. Thank you for this delightful read, sir.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Divya. I appreciate the kind words.

[DIVYA]

You are welcome sir.

Nothing seems to be as visceral as love in poetry, the heart, being the fragile tool is is, was made for words :)

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right dear friend. Love is the kindest gift.

[Dave]

Lying is often bad enough, but lying to ones self has to be the worst. The dream is gone and in your heart of hearts you know you can't replace it.

I feel your pain, your loss. For me, I find I need the pain to be able to write.

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too. Bad and good day. Allow us to write. Thank you Dave for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
