Fever

Just words

                       

             Fever

I told her." Love don't die sweetie. Love is like the German wines, become more sweeter and tastier with time." Tonight you are wearing your red dress and dangerous smile. I felt the burning to steal you away and make you my love tonight.

Taunting words requested dancing and some wine tonight.  Your beautiful eyes making promises of perfect night and wild evening. I fall into wild brown eyes and the fever overtake me I want to feel the warmth of your lips upon my lips and the closeness of your body as we danced deep into the torment of the long night.

I felt the inferno stirring up the fever of love.  Making Your body become part of my body as the music steal us to perfect place and the utopia where lovers must reach.

You whispered. "I love you, I love you, I love you. Love goes on and on till the interlude is broken by lover swords." I brought my lover closer and I whispered.  "This is called love, my lover. Lover dance and sing till the end. The Gods will win. Death will separate us one day but tonight you are my love, my only love. My only sweet wish I know."

..."as we danced deep into the torment of the long night." Dearest Coyote, it has been a long while since last we communicated. my fault. i had to go attend to some things for awhile, but i was extremely pleased, upon coming back, to see that you are still active on this site. from what i recall, there was always a positive message to your work, and an unyielding encouragement to your reviews. without any offense to that good work you were posting in my past experience on here, you appear to me as if you have beautifully evolved as a writer in the close to a year i have been away. this piece does, in my opinion, a phenomenal job of expressing the fragility within that simultaneous hope and mortality that love can illicit. fantastic work, good man. please don't ever stop contributing your wisdom and talent to this site.

Very beautiful. Very passionate.

You write with the wisdom of someone with many life experiences, Coyote.
And while your writing does not appear to be poetry in its truest form, it is written with great skill and verve.

Another fine piece of work.

I love the passion in this writing. The recollections are like porcelain dolls dancing in crystal glass balls. Within reach yet so far, unreal, ethereal. Love in the moment. Live in the moment. once lost is forever lost. Thank you for such beauty tonight.

Thank you Divya for reading and the comment. I do appreciate your kind words.

no these are not just words..
these are words of love..
what you have experienced and you called love...

here in India we use the word love for communion..
communion of souls precedes communion of bodies in love..
then there is no fever...
fever comes when communion of bodies...
miss the communion of mind..intellect and soul..
am I correct..?

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree Jeny. Love should be like a wild storm. We want to feel the movement and the struggle of need and want. Thank you Jeny for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

I really enjoyed this one. I found it very deep and moving, and I could definitely relate. I love how you expressed that burning desire, that NEED for someone. Someone you crave... Great work. Thanks for sharing!

Very beautiful John...Peggy Lee's version of "Fever" was far more sensual, I think. But I grew up in a home
with the album of Peggy Lee's love songs that my father refused us kids to even touch. But I would sneak
and play this song and it was 'sexy' to a 11 year old who was at least 7 years away from knowing what
sexy meant.

Like Peggy lee's alluring, baritone, so is your words also alluring and capturing of both honesty and sentiment.
Well done....dana

Many good versions of the song. I agree the Peggy Lee's version is very good. Her voice perfect for this song. Thank you for reading and sending me to the good song.

This is a wonderful expression of the desire to find love, enjoy love and hope it lasts till separated by death - I enjoyed this one :)

[Coyote Poetry]

Jack London lead story wrote of how love cannot defeat God. His book "When Gods laugh" made me write 50 new poems. This is one of them. Thank you Carolynn for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

[Carolynn]

I would think love cannot defeat God because God IS love - so he would just be defeating himself and what would be the purpose of that? :))

[Coyote Poetry]

In the book. Not degrading God or love. A writer and a artist discuss the will of man to be better than God. Both believed God is stronger than man want/will to be the God.
