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.

[Norma M Sutton]

A sad poem with a uplifting ending.

Love will always linger on our side the moment it touch our soul

[Cafe Reader]

This is great writing! I enjoyed each and every line!

[Geralyn Miller]

This is a great poem with only minor corrections needed. I am going to begin at the start and type only the corrected line, if it is not typed, its fine.

"I tried to forget a woman's face and green eyes,
Tried to forget those long legs,
Tried to erode(erase) the memory of her beautiful body.

The restraints of grief and my frigid heart
render me meciless and cold.. . .
. . .Pain became pleasure.
. . .
Now the twilight deepens.
...
Her perfume intoxicates my senses.
. . .
Her sweet smell of lilies
Awakened my impoverished heart.

I LOVED IT!! first of all, did you live in Austin? I want to move there so bad. I'm looking into visiting the city next year to see if I like it. The poem was so poignant and beautiful, and it was smooth and flowed as I read it. Here is one part I really liked:


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

you never cease to amaze me...one of my top poets here.

"A broken man and a lady who lost her wings.


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

"love takes time."

so true

Although you dont always have to live through hell to find love.
Sometimes but not always.

I really like this alot Coyote, aside from the spelling errors but who cares, not here to critique but here to review a wonderfully deeply written poem.
Thanks for sharing with me Coyote
