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 face and green eyes.
Tries to forget those long legs.
I tries to erode the memory 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 render me

merciless and cold.

I dance on nails now.

Pain became 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.


Sensuous and beautiful lady whisper.
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 intoxicate my senses.
My emotions and desires begin to maneuver.
Her sweet smell of lilies began to awake
my impoverish heart.


She takes 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 into my chest.
She looks 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.

another piece of wonderful, full of emotions poetry...there are so many of the in this particular write... i guess almost all the emotions that are known to mankind have been put beautifully into it...on a personal note i love the very first part that mentions the pain that the write is going through...
reminded me of these lines by Jim
People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”

Great job as usual. love the style

[Poetic Beauty]

Lost love and trying to rid yourself of the memories doesn't work. I have found mentally sending thoughts of love and missing that person then you let it drop. Fall away. This is a great poem that portrays the thought and feelings on this clearly.

love comes along when we least expect it..when our minds have reasoned all hope out ..then someone comes and sparks something and we start all over again..delightful read

I think you are to gentle for the average woman.You need to seek out someone unique.I love your poem and all your writing is so tender.Do you ever get realy mad

[Desert Dreamer]

Even after the pain of loss and disappointment, it is always possible to discover love and life again. I love the way you put Leonard Cohen's voice in the background of your poem, I could here "No Cure For Love" as I read on.
