Rise and fall

We believe we can control all things. We can't.

                                 Rise and fall

First dance, last dance
The first kiss, the last kiss
The embrace, the release
Laughter/ tears
The song/Withering words
Intimacy/separation
reckless/neglected

Love was young and sweet.
We made the night forget the daylight.
You were my delicious nymph and
my noble beauty who bared her body and soul
to me by the Fall full moon.

You were my Autumn treasure.

I remembered when you came to my home.
Lite soft candles and slowly disrobed.
You yield to me soft and tender skin and
you stood in the gentle light of the candles.
Your skin glistering and your quivering body looking so sweet and beautiful.

You asked me. Johnnie, do you love me?

I told you. You are my kindred in hope and dreams.
I wanted you near since I saw you last Summer in your white Summer dress.
You made me imagine and dream of your perfect body near and
to taste the sweetness of your lips and tender skin.

Sweet Jenny laughs and she fell into my arms.
She whispered. Let's live and love.
Allow the rising sun to find lovers in embrace not fearing the treason of love.

I was totally enchanted by this one...'We made the night forget the daylight'...such a rich and vivid line that said many things to me, and really drove home the essence of the piece and its ruminations on the 'the treason of love'...the flow almost mirrors the act of watching a lover undress...slow, deliberate, something to be savoured...well done coyote :)

A beautiful and wonderful rendition on a youthful love. The magic of young love is hard to retrieve because it is euphoric and heady. There's no slowing down. Thats why hard to control and hard to forget. Loved this poem.

Again, goosebumps and shivers, your writing captivates me in a way I find difficult to express. YOU MUST publish books. This is fabulous. It really is.

Another bravo for you! I am used to your romantic poems, but the way you penned the two poems I just read are outstanding for me...so different from your poems before.
Indeed we could rise and fall in the arms of love...
Great!

Thank you dear Poet for reading. I found new writers to motivate my words. Love should be free and the best part of life.

We made the night forget the daylight.

That line alone was spectacular… Love may not last forever in the flesh but will always be a hidden treasure in the heart.

You are right friend. Some loving leave us with scars of good memories we cannot forget. Thank you for reading and the comment.
