                          Liar

---
She was as pretty as a warm July Summer morning.
She knew I loved her and I would live and die in her arms.
I savored our lips upon lips.
Our skin upon skin and
I knew she was just a wish  and a prayer.
I knew you can't stop the sun or the moon from rising and falling.
I knew her heart was not bounded to one place or one man.

--------

She whispered, please stay with me my dear lover.
The night is long and scary when we are alone.
Please hold me tightly and please whisper love words.
Dear Poet, the liar's prayers make us feel safe when the chill of the night overcomes us.
Even a wisp of love is a blessing.

Weeping and beautiful words. Gentle stream of love. Liar prayers can save our lonely evening after hard heart breaks. We need the hope and new light. And they provide for us what we need. In my case I always listen to Alice Coltrane . Her music make me all the time.

Old poetry. Sometime we accept less. To survive the dark days of life. Human contact is needed and thank you for reading and the comment.

I suppose the only thing with lying is. You usually have to continue it. But we all do it, every single day.

[Coyote Poetry]

I believe Paul. Most people limit love. Which is very sad. Love should be lessons to lead us to proper place and person. Thank you Paul for reading and the comment.

so much emotion! Yet few words. :) What inspired you to write this?

[Coyote Poetry]

I have 40 journals of writing. In my days of youth. I found only women who wanted nothing or little. The old poem jump-out and I'm re-writing. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.

[A.R. Rose]

No problem! :)

"She whispered, please stay with me my dear lover.
The night is long and scary when we are alone."
