I need you

Just words

                              I need you, I need you

Pretty lies, pretty faces and pretty songs.

Wounded people accepting less, wanting more.

Where do we go when the blackness of the night is sweet.

Deep beers and long slow dances with strangers in dark taverns

become acceptable ending for the dreamer.

Once, love was life and life was love.

The sweet hellos were the blessing near, tender voices whispered promise and kind words were honored words.

I sing to the whiskey and the beer. 

Please call my name my sweet, my honey.

Please bring me near and I remembered.

Our once interlaced bodies had allowed the great sea to steal my sweet dreams ands wishes.

I sing to a lady blue on the lonely dance floor at the tavern. Her eyes looking into my eyes and she asked. Make me some sweet promises. I need kind words and soft kisses, even some lies could make me smile my  lonely poet.

"I whisper to her.

I need you, I need you.

Stolen kisses, stolen memories, we are.

You are so beautiful.

I want to kiss your tempting red lips,

I want to run my hands through your long black hair.

I want my hands to know, your every curve and to discover every scar on your willing skin.

You are my only kindness, my only gentleness and my blessing in the darkness of my life."

The pretty lady, tears fell from her brown eyes and she smiled. She kissed me, she smiled and she whispered.

I need you, I need you.

Sweet Poet, don't release me.

This is beautiful writing Coyote.
I can relate to that need, the need to feel loved, and you'll even accept lies hoping they become true eventually. I think men and women both need to hear loving words and to feel desired and loved. Your writing is powerful and emotional.

Thank you Ana. All of us need someone to make us feel, we are worthwhile.

There’s nothing that feels as good as being needed. Your poem would be a truly seductive opening for anyone to respond to with warmth & encouragement & heart. If only it was easier to be this vulnerable! Always love the way you paint the scene with realistic details we can all relate to (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Just, has many meanings. To say,"Just words." I envision justice. Straight forward, honest, unrelenting dedication; to express in word, that which churns in the heart. You do this. You do it in such a way as to ignite a fire that will never be extinguished. Yet, we are shadows that linger between light and dark, at the edge of tomorrow. Marvelous Muse.

i need you very strong phrase to describe the emotion brewing inside. sometimes it is a lot easier to say i love you than i need you.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Needing someone. Heavy load to learn and if balanced on a twist and turn life. Scary. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
