I will love you forever and a day..

Was publish somewhere in 1978. A very old poem with a re-write.

“I will love you forever and a day”

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

 Written in 1978. Memories are like a good wine. Better with time. 

  ” I will love you forever and a day”.

A serene and tranquil day.

She took my hand and she whispered.
My laughing American.
Life is hard,
love can be sweet.
Wine gets better with time.
Please come with me.
Let’s salvage our emotion and desire.

Youth will be discarded and
we will be exile to adults.
Who will lose the treasures of the desire of the tender touch
and the sweet sensation of true passion.

I asked her. When we lose the thrill of the dance?
Our emotion and gentleness recede to children dreams.
Will only the debris of youth be left?
Will I forsake your beautiful face and memory?”

Leonard Cohen was playing softly in the small apartment.

By the light of soft burning candles.
Two shadows tried to indulge in the gift of love and passion.
Trying to satisfy every sensation and emotion.

The morning light appears and
we languished into the afternoon.
Holding each other tightly.
We knew we held paradise for a moment and
when we left the room.
We would leave  our innocent and youth locks in
a sweet dream.  

We knew we entrenched two lives together.
She handed me a journal.
Told me to write down your passion and sweet dreams
in this book.
In time we will forget to love and be gentle.
Only the story and old memories will bring peace in the end.

The first page she wrote words of love.
I kissed her lips.
Thanks her for the journal.

I read the last line from her sweet words.

“I will love you forever and a day.”

1978 must have been a good year. Some memories become more precious with time.

I will love you forever and a day

and be sure when she wrote that line she meant it. As we age those are the words we remember most. I enjoyed my visit my friend. Have a good Sunday.

Dear Cayote Poetry,
this poem, prose, is in-depth,
tell you the truth it spoke a little of me in there, with someone I loved,
I connected with your writ, immediately, it disheartened I, for remembering,
a past, that I cannot fully grasp, ---1809 Black Plague December

“I will love you forever and a day.”

It is truly a lovely thought or is it only a hopeful dream?

Still...I hope it would last. At least we have memories.

Greatly written.

[Coyote Poetry]

Maybe a hopeful dream. Thank you dear Sarah for reading and the comment. Being young and in love. Our greatest days, we shall know.
