A short poem for the Poet Virgil

Poetry for love and the dance

                              Damn the Gods

Pretty lady laid bare in heart and soul watching the sun fall into the sea.
She looked at me and told me. "Damn the gods who hate love. They tried to
separate us. I need you near. Not far. We will trick the Gods.
Dance in the bliss of real love. Make them jealous we can truly love."

She reached for the rising moon and whispered a prayer.
"The god of the sea allow us to create a temple where two lovers can become one.
Filling empty spaces needing to know completeness and calm."

My lovely woman looked at me and whispered. "I want to be your first and last breathe felt.
I want you to make me feel like I'm the only one left for you to hold when the nights are
cold and lonely. I want you to release your energy an passion into my willing body. Let's make
the Gods wish to know what we know. The eternal dance of love. Free from the decaying
world around us."

I brought my sweet lover near. Kissed her forehead and than sweet lips. I told her. "You
are my morning sunrise. You are the sun that warm my heart and your smile and sweet kiss
is the reasons I want to be alive. Damn the Gods of rules and control. We will make our
last stand on the Seaside beach. Show the Gods. Love is life. Life is love. My beautiful
woman please stay with me. Let's wait for the morning light and find the way to forever."

The Gods smiles above. They enjoyed the view. The ancient Gods raised glassed of sweet red
wine to love, for forever.  They looked down at the lovers. Gave them a blessing and left them be.

Replace this line, " You are the sun that warm my heart and your smile and sweet kiss
is the reasons I want to be alive" with "You are the sun that WARMS my heart and your KISS WITH SMILE is the only reason I want to be alive."

and replace this one, "The Gods smiles above" with "The Gods "SMILE" above." Overall's cool and enjoyable reading. I adore this poem!

A fantastic classically inspired piece. The last stanza was amazing.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Sarah for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

[Emily]

I have to say, this is a very passionate poem. The first stanza came in with a bang, and the poem got better and better after that! Though, the warm in the line "You are the sun..." should be warms. But what romantic write!

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for the help and reading. I appreciate the comment.

What you have written here is powerful to anyone that has ever loved. As I read it, it made me feel only beautiful feelings. Love can conquer even the will of the Gods, it separates us from them and can not be contained by even a divine force. Breaking their rules and showing them what makes being human heavenly itself; making the Gods jealous they do not have what you had and what you experienced with this lover. I can picture it all vividly and I can say that it brought me back through many memories and made all the feelings roil up to the surface. Very nice write.

I think this is one of my favourite of yours John. Everything seems to come together perfectly. Extremely romantic and beautifully put together.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ken. I'm trying to be less epic. I appreciate the kind review.

[Lydia Shutter]

Outstandingly romantic words, John. You were inspired by one of the best, but your own talent carried you to new heights. To be this much in love is to have truly lived. Lydi**

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Lydia. Always good to read new and old writers. Allow us to appreciate the word.

[Addie Santos]

This made me cry so much, Coyote. I barely give reviews unless I'm actually moved by it, but this one made me groan and throw my notebook. It took me five minutes before I actually finished the whole poem after I read the first stanza. Really great job.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Addie. I appreciate your kind words.

[Frieda P]

Virgil is truly inspiring you to write such lovely poetry John, this is stunning, so many profoundly beautiful lines, I'd have to copy and paste the entire work of art...outstanding, keep the dance and love within your poetry, it suits your pen just fine.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Frieda. The old writers should give us reasons to write.
