Just maybe?

Just words. Maybe some song.

                                           Just maybe

Just maybe. After you and I go to the utopia of the warm kiss. After we swim in the heat of the paradise of the flesh and the bones. After we drain all the energy of love from our bodies. 

Will you still love me as when I was chasing you? Will we honor the gifts of love? Will I behold you still as my imperfect angel, I would live and die for.

Today we love so easily. Are we forgetting something?

"I remember when I begged for a dance and I remember how your eyes, so soft and tender looked into my eyes and you whispered. Are you a illusion soldier? Are you a thief of the heart?  I don't want to bleed no-more Johnnie. You damn soldiers like to hit and run. I see in your eyes. Hope and wishes. I know sex is sweet but I know too. If we cannot be friends in the daylight. We need to stop before we begin.

I looked at her clear blue eyes and I kissed her hands. I told her. We had danced a hundred dances and we have kissed and I had held you till the Texas sun appeared. I would harm myself before harming you and I would love you till the end of time if you allowed. You are my wild and crazy Texas girl. I remember your face when I took you to the sea. Me and you sat by the sea for hours. Happy with the silence and the song of the sea.

Petty Texas girl smiled and she whispered. "We can dance."

Tonight we are one in life and one in dreams. I yearn for your kiss and I need to hear you speak. I asked you, do I take too much my love, do I want too much?  

My beautiful Texas girl smiled and she told me. Life is bleeding, screaming. Dying and living. All of us will become ashes to ashes, become dust to dust. Love can become old and rusty. You are my dearest friend and I feel safe with you. You make the night warm and safe. You make the days joyous and worthwhile. If you want more dear Johnnie. Please take what you need. You are love and I know you adore me.

I agree with the reviewer below, Your words take us into another world, this world of the private special love...

to keep the flame of love burning, the feelings genuine, as the first look, as the first touch and kiss... is something unpredictable, but, still, it can be, and it can get even bigger, because true love grows, never stop growing, even with the facts of reality and life, when love comes with all its meanings, of understanding, share, trust... all can be, but, it needs the two to walk together, not one alone, the two hand in hand, step in step, it's about the right one for You.

Thank You my friend for another sweet loving piece, filled with wisdoms, emotions and passions, yearnings pouring from Your words.

IM IN AUSTIN TX YOU GO GIRL

[Einstein Noodle]

as poets we write ... and when emotions are deep...we write again and again util we find release ..i read the volcano's suggestion about putting your similar poetry into its complete story and i agree ...as a soldier and as someone with a unique cultural perspective and one with wide life experience ... there is a good tale to tell .. i end reading by wanting your protagonist to meet that girl, fall in love again and live happily ever after ;) but i am incurable as an optimist ... i particularly enjoyed this chapter sir

[Meshalini]

This is a very good one.
I don't really like to read love poems/stories, but if its your work then I'm very happy to read it. Really enjoyed.

John.....you need to turn this into a novel - seriously. Add a hundred ideas from your similar poems, and the plot will be electrifying. And what better topic than love?

Love can be so simple. But we complicate it. Sometimes life helps to either make it easier or harder.....we cannot dictate what hand we are dealt, but we can play it better, I hope to think...:)

[Jon Roggie]

I agree. First part, and the rest.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you both for reading and the comment. I do appreciate. You are very kind.

[Jon Roggie]

Some loves are just that. Years may pass, but you fall right back into it.
Nice write.
Jon

Such aching beauty. The longing reminiscing and the nostalgic memories told in such sweet, tender words. Experiencing a taste of pure, true love is such a blessing. Truly poetic and transcendent writing.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Clifford. I appreciate the comment.

[Lydia Shutter]

Love CAN become old and rusty, but not if both people in a relationship stop that from happening. Considering your wonderful love writes, I would have to say you do know how to keep things interesting, my friend. Sitting by the sea with one you love is always special. A lovely write. Lydi**

Thank you Lydia for reading and the comment. You are right. Lake or sea. A perfect place for two people.

[R.E. Ray]

To take partly from your video title, "She's Crazy," this is "crazy" love captured in a poem. It's not symmetrical, predictable or free of trouble. Still, it's pure; two people making themselves vulnerable to each other, taking a chance on something we know as "love" but rarely experience it is this form. Nice work, Coyote.

Thank you Robert. You are right and I appreciate the comment.
