A little death

Just words.

                                      A  little  death

Silky skin, wine and song took us here.
You are as pretty as the rising sun my love.
Honey, dear and sweet heart I have called you.

You were like sweet Fall honey. Your caressed me  like a  gentle and needed Summer breeze.
Your hands  open new storms of love and need that were just illusions.
I whispered I loved you in the darkness of locked motel rooms.
You told me.  I will break your heart. I'm wild and not tamed. Love will break our backs  and leave us with tears.

I knew the ending at the beginning.
We  were just a shadow dance where two bodies rage and crash for the need of the body.
You called our Motel rendezvous just interlacing of two people wanting a little death only.
People who bled out, don't need love.

I told you. You are my darkness, my  daybreak.  I wished I found you before we turn to brick and steel.
We could of loved like Romeo and Juliet. Love so hard and raised a fire of love so strong for the Angels to see..

You laughed and held me tighter. You whispered. Dear Johnnie, the dead are dead. Can't arise again.

Years ago. I was a single soldier for 15 years. I liked the dark taverns, dance and song. Today those days feel like a myth. Thank you dear Jen for reading and the sweet words.

"I knew the ending at the beginning..." what an excellent line....and yet the mystery is just as potent the whole way through, the way you painted this scene. Top class Coyote !!

Have a great year my friend.

I really love this part "We were just a shadow dance" a fine description of two being strangers to each other the whole time. Well done my dear friend.

Wow this is powerful. The pull of lust, the inevitable feelings that come from sharing something that never stays just something physical. Another great piece

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Mari. I appreciate the comment. Love is our best and worst days.

Some things we try to fly to late in life and are destined to crash and burn. Sometimes we know it but, we go ahead ; just to experience a little joy and then the destined crash and burn to prove that we are still alive.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Sometime we accept less or more to know some kind of peace. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.
