Cry a tear

My first published poem. Some small press put in in 1979.

                              Cry a tear

My heart still can bleed with pain and loss still.
Tears can fall when the night appeared and when your memory
reappeared.

The tears of loneliness.
Loneliness of losing you completely.

I could have survived without your kiss.

But never seeing your beautiful face.
Blessing me with hearing your sweet voice.
Leave me empty and alone.

Your love of life.
Is much too difficult to forget.
I miss the long talks and laughter.

Days have passed since our parting day.
And your memory still lies heavy upon my mind.

Sometime so heavy.
The thought of you make me feel weaken.
Not to tears.

The tears had faded way on a cold rainy night
when I left you alone in your bed.

The sadness of our goodbye is always on my mind.

It was the last day I could see the life in your eyes.

Wow Coyote this was so sad, so beautiful, so... I can't even fine the word that your pieces make me feel. Like I am above all, looking down, and your words just appear and softly they absorb into me, my thoughts, inside all. Like magic it is, your writing has such an effect it is amazing.. This is beauty, for I can feel it..

There is a beautiful, bittersweet longing in your voice that lingered on those days.. One can still feel the pain across the years and miles...

Wow... so much emotion flows from this poem- it makes me feel what's there instead of just telling me about it. Masterpiece!

[Maureen Mwaniki]

I cant say i know what it is to bid a love goodbye for good,or the aches of love,or the emptiness that is the aftermath...but i have felt these things with just a read!that is how powerful this is!!

love is difficult to retain at times. when you think that you have it and you can hold it for a long time. It slides off of your hands so fast and you are left empty and dumbfounded. It is a very bad place to be but everything can be replaced with patience. Time cures the deepest of wounds specially if positive things happen to you during that time.

Very sad and true to many of us. A great write from way back...
