The cursed lullaby

Just words

                      The cursed lullaby

Once love was so damn sweet, we had the long nights and the sweetest kisses.

You were my Beatrice and I was your willing Dante.

Willing to pay the price to touch sweet and tender skin, to make you smile.

I told you often.

I want to love you like there is no tomorrow,

I want to love you like we are the only people left.

I want us to divulge each other till we can't no-more.

Love me once,

love me twice,

please love me three times.

Make me know softness,

make me know hardness,

Allow me to live and die in your eyes.

The cursed lullaby we know.

You and I.

Water and earth.

Need great storms for us to create  tale and  to know the sweetest kiss.

Old Poet recite to the dying moon.

Love be sweet, love be damned.

I remember you.

You, more than anyone else, can write a cursed lullaby that matches so many of my own life experiences. I cringe at the sight of your pleading promises (realistic, deeply-felt details), becuz I’ve learned such promises often lead nowhere at all -- but it’s still sweet to go back & taste these memories once in awhile, as you do so deliciously! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

You are right Margie. All of us had danced the wishful dance. Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Just beautiful- to be able to feel the hearts depth and to want to join with another’s to fulfill the emotions and desires creating a true dance and notes to get lost within- wonderfully free to be🌹

I agree dear Kelly. Freedom is missed when she is gone.

Oh John... such sweet words.... I am sure each of the ladies died in your arms when in love...you love with such tender sweetness...who could refuse such love....

And your words... aren't they just just simple sweet...words of love...
I always love reading your words... they are like music to my ears... :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ardra. I appreciate the kind words.

Memories sweet and bitter but treasured equally in our treasure chest of dreams. This is life spilled out here on a page; blood turned to ink and scrawled out for all to see. Wonderful writing my friend. Bless.
