No cure for love.

Sometime looking back. The bad days don't seem so bad.

                  No cure for Love.

In the tar pits of blasphemy and disappointment.
I tried to forget a woman's face and green eyes.
Tried to forget those long beautiful and soft  legs.
I tried to erode the memory of her beautiful body.


Leonard Cohen is playing "No cure for love."
I sat alone in the back of a Texas dance hall.


The restrains of grief and my frigid heart rendered me

merciless and cold.

I dance on nails now.

Pain become an pleasure.
Allowing a trace of emotion to appear rarely.


I was filled with the cancer of disappointment.
Left hopeless.
Now the twilight deepen.


I sat on the sideline of hopelessness.
Waiting for one damn reason to keep going forward.


A sensuous and beautiful lady whispered.
Sweet and spiritual words.



"My Poet.
Rest with me my love.
Let's find a secret hostel.
Where two can unite against the world."


Her perfume intoxicated my senses.
My emotions and desires begin to maneuver.
Her sweet smell of lilies began to awake
my impoverished heart.


She took me to the dance floor.
We do a Texas two-step.
Slow and easy.


Her sweet voice whispers to me.
"I'm here.
I have tasted pain.
Swam in the misery of disappointment."


"Tonight we must redeem our heart and soul."


She gave me a soft gentle kiss.
Laid her head onto my chest.
She looked into my eyes.
Her blue eyes  kind and gentle.
Even the un-lucky can find love.
She told me.


"We must create a bridge.
Based on the real things that are important.
Make only true promises.
We expect to accomplish."


We sat by the Austin river.
The Texas sun was appearing from the east.


A broken man and a lady who lost her wings.


Today we begin a new dance.
In the paradise of love and emotion.


The sweet woman told me.
"We must live through hell.
To know love."


I brought her close.
I whispered "Thank you."
I told her "love takes time."


I kissed her sweet lips.
Brought her close to me.


I whispered.
"We must strive to be kind and
Maybe the splendor of love.
Will come back."


"Into our heart and soul? "

Gorgeous poem. Just don't forget to be consistent with your tenses (e.g. in the first stanza "I tries to erode the memory (of) her beautiful body" - "I tries", would better as "I tried...") Just minor grammatical errors, otherwise great write. Keep it up.

This was a VERY beautiful poem. I love how you described everything! I especially loved these lines:
"I was filled with the cancer of disappointment"
"I sat on the sideline of hopelessness"
"A broken man and a lady who lost her wings"
This was just amazing!

[Sukriti Suki]

Thank you for such amazing words..I felt the hopelessness and the love..all in this one poem. Your words speak so much to the reader and reached my soul. Again thank you.

[Dream Weaver]

This flowed like a cascading waterfall
of emotions. A sadly beautiful piece of
poetic heartache.

[Judas Hammer]

great piece. you have a skill to this whole poetry thing. I am a fan of the few things i have read

[Demetri J]

Poems like this just make me want to quit writing. Everything you said was conveyed so vividly and emotion flowed through every word, I just feel like crap reading it. You have such a talent with words I wish I had more time in the past to review some of your other things. Basically, outstanding work, and I haven't thought so much while reading a poem in a while. Even though I'm only 15 you have my regards, for whatever that's worth to you

[Morning Star]

WOW there is so much beauty and wisdom in your words
and an excellent message within
i always say you must love yourself before you can love anyone
though i agreed with your ending
you captured a splendid vividness and excellent imagery and flow
this piece is unique in beauty,but i agreed you should attached
the song of Garth Brooks it is perfect for this magnificent poem

"Sometimes I Thank God for Unanswered Prayers" Garth Brooks. That did't take as long as I thought. Killer song you should attach it to this poem it would be perfect!!!!!

[KimLove "The Beautiful ..]

It reminds me of a sond I once heard and ofcourse right now it is just on the tip of my tounge and I can not grasp it. But this is truly impressive and perfect in everyway. I am not like others I don't notice mistakes my eyes are not trained that way, all I can see is beauty and the start of something amazing.

I will remember the song and I will get back to you because it's gonna bug the tar out of me.
