Spare me your stories and sleazy words.

Mistakes can be costly. Lessons are to teach us to be kind.

Spare me your stories and sleazy words.
                               (2 March 1986)
 










I awoke alone.
 
I reached out and brought a ghost of a lover back into my arms.
 
In my sensuous and tranquil dreams.
 
I held  her nubile body and savior her sweet kisses.
 
 
 
I dreamed you whispered my name.
 
I felt you closing your eyes.
 
Your dreams opening up nights of splendor and a torrid love.
 
You awake with tarnished memories and you desire solitude.
 
 
 
I left you a early spring morning.
 
My icy words without remorse.
 
Left you with tears on your beautiful face.
 
 
 
You sit-up in your bed.
 
Realizing you were alone.
 
Tears falls for not understanding why someone who loved you.
 
Would tease with words of love and promise so much.
 
Then perish into the morning light.
 
 
 
Sometimes the villain learn too late.
 
He sacrificed paradise and lapsed into an oasis of s**t for not being kind.
 
 
 
Fool's ask for pardon.
 
Woman who swim in loneliness and self -pity.
 
Whispered. "What do you desire now?
 
You taught me hate.
 
You taught me loneliness.
 
Now I want mercy from you.
 
Leave me.
 
Spare me your stories and sleazy words."
 
 
 
I went to her. 
 
Touched her face.
 
Whisper I'm sorry.
 
 
 
Into the night.
 
A man with the hunger to touch everything.
 
 
 
Yearn for serene and splendor nights.
 
He has loved a angel once.
 
His hunger for new flesh left him empty.
 
He is shrouded in sadness for braking a woman's heart.

Author's Note

A very old poem. In youth. We feel invincible till the pain of love break you down and show you the proper way to live and love.

A wonderfully narrated story filled with emotions, and you drew the picture really well.. The image of breaking down in love and standing up to love again is clearly seen and the feelings the characters have can be felt. Enjoyable reading. Well done.

Another excellent write from you, Coyote! This piece is very well narrated and the sensuous vocabulary added intensity. The flow and break-up of stanzas add emphasis to it. One big mistake, "Sparse me your stories and sleazy words" should be "Spare me your stories and sleazy words". Regardless, it is a brilliant poem with a brilliant meaning. Thank you.
