Broken bones, unkempt promises

This poem had been dancing in my head for days. I hope you enjoy.

                         Broken bones, unkempt  promises

Fools' dances in wishes and dreamers believe love is priceless and the only worthwhile goal of life.
Woman with pretty faces make a man dream of a lifetime love. The man will vault into love without fear.

Love can't be contained or control.
When the heart is dead. It will not rise till the mourning in done.
Beautiful woman told the man. "No love is left. Better to walk away from me.
I will brake your heart and leave your bones to rot.
Can't raise the dead. Heart was broken by unkempt promises and secret pain that had  create a mountain
of safety."

Young man told the girl. "There is a thin line between saints and losers. Few saints on this earth. We must do our best. Can't die and swim in empty words and promises. Better to allow rage to kill the inflicted wounds and live again."

The pretty woman smiled. She remembered when the love was good. The spiritual dances into passion and when she was fearless and dived into love without a parachute. Now she don't believe there is gold at the end of the rainbow. She lacked confident in real love and that people are honest and true.

The woman kissed the young man forehead and whispered. "All I got is flesh to give. The love is gone. If you desire to stay. I don't want to be held. Do what you desire and turn away."

Sometime even a  lover and dreamer understand the mandate of a honest woman. She told the truth. In time
love can turn bittersweet. 

Broken bones, unkempt promises and mountains cannot be  moved. Can't arouse something that want to play dead.

 I tried to raise the dead in heart a few times.  I learn I came at the wrong time. Love need perfect timing and two people in the same place wanting the same things..

Rarely happen in a life. I like the old quote.
"I'm here.
You are gone.
Should I stay or go?"

Heaven, Earth or hell can't change a broken spirit till the heart and mind is willing.

there is a time and place for noncommittal relationships, although i have no room in my life for them. this speaks a universal truth which is so sad to me. there is no love? sex without love is meaningless. why bother? love the honesty in this write, as brutal and cold as it may be...well penned.

A deep and resonating poem filled an emptiness if that makes any sense. Very nice work CP

such sorrowful, but beautiful words, how the world can break us sometimes.

[Poussiere D'Ange]

You cant just make somebody love one...it just has to happen. This had the perfect blend of romance and truths which are as inspirational as your other works.
'Love can't be contained or controlled'
Beautiful piece:-):-):-D.

love cannot be forced. two people at the right time to make it happen is rare. a dance of fate. best to just be honest in love. nothing is perfect or goes as we plan. well written Coyote :)

Praises be that you have taken it from the dance in your head to sharing it with us, as it is so beautiful and filled with emotion that your words cause me to swoon with the thought of the pain in its lines until the sage advice you give us in the final line. Your writing never fails to uplift me!! I see some words that could be edited, but I have come to love the way you write as your style and I choose to leave it exactly the way it is.....my dear friend Coyote's way of speaking a poem, or story!!
Thank you!!!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for the kind words. Poetry come from all places. I always wonder did I leave too soon? Or does love have a destine ending for the all of us.

[Sheila Kline]

I think we are all a part of destiny and when we leave it is fate that is heading us in that direction!! Hold onto the past, but use the memory of it to make the present and future a better place to be!! Regret not, and feel joy, and love!!!

This was undeniably a beautiful story. I don't know but my heart ached a bit while reading this. It makes me remember some random painful love stories. You've really crafted the emotions very well. You never cease to amaze me, Coyote. I actually missed reading your work. This was excellent indeed. :)

[David Scott]

A childlike innocence and truth found here. Like a story passed down by the campfire...
Beautiful sentiment.

Holy Coyote...felt this one, feels as though you wrote it just for me, but I'm sure there are many other's who feel this void and pain too. It's so true, that quote, should I stay or go, when we do it with only the other's best interest we lose, no matter what, still have to stay true to who you are, broken bones and all. Much enjoyed this one John.

'break you heart'
