Secret love

"Let's the bells ring, and let the boy sing, let the cup go around." John Fletcher

   Secret love

You bare your words, exposing secret places and thoughts. Elegant words and face haunt my thoughts.

I imagine you close to me. Your soft and gentle face near. Your eyes allowing me to adrift forever in your eyes.

I refrain from passing the point of no return. I'm compelled to read your words and look at your beautiful face, intangible gestures from a lonely and desperate man.

I bathe in the quiet and I'm doomed to write love letters that are nameless. I crumble to safe places where no payment is due.

I dreamed of night beauty turning to day splendor, having you near and us fleeing away from naysayers.  You told me. Lay bare our secrets and open up endless fables and songs. Make the Gods jealous knowing we did not fear the kiss and the embrace.

 I told her. No truce in love. It is sad we can't love many. We leave our hearts to disregard the possibility of affection. I wish to know blind fury and to write you a thousand poems of love for you.

I read elegant and passionate words and  I dreamed of beauty and love for the ages. Words become damned when two people cannot bring into the sunlight and allow the climax of love to become glorious love that can stand time and distance.

Sweet dreams become longing. Longing become great need.

Simply Beautiful you've Inspired me to
write Elegant Beauty.


A love that you couldn't reach that
seemed like it was a dream it is sad
when we lose them and it seems like
a dream but it wasn't and can be torcher.

Beautiful lines my poet friend.

I bathe in the quiet and I'm doomed to write love letters that are nameless. I crumble to safe places where no payment is due.

Thank you Zenith. I have been writing for 40 plus years. Some of us need words to create need and purpose to be alive.

[SquinklaPsyOps]

I like the way the right words flow through your creativity to describe the feelings of the character in the poem towards a person admires and secretely cherishes.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. Sometime silence keep you safe.

Thank you for your advice Coyote John Castellenas , you are right about that, I just learned that conserving energy is the way to do it to avoid wasting energy in useless confortrations.

[Coyote Poetry]

Sometime knowing no-one will win. Silence keep the heads cool down.

[Dhaye]

This is one of your best pieces, CP. I really love this one. So stunning! I like the concept of an unreachable love.
Kudos!

[Coyote Poetry]

You're welcome.

"It is sad we can't love many. We leave our hearts to disregard the possibility of affection" I agree

There are more loves out of reach than there are in reach.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right. Sometime I wonder were we made to live with one person for 50 years? Thank you for reading and the comment.

Watch out Pablo Neruda!... you have swooned me with your words...

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Robbie. The positive review is greatly appreciated. I added a new chapter to "She wanted Paris and I wanted her." I appreciate if you could take a peek at the chapter.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

I sure will, it would be an honor. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

The poet's main meal, and you serve it up well. A couple spots I noticed. damn should be damned, and I think bring "them" might sound better. Longing becomes great need. What a wonderful poem this is.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the help. It was a quick write. I will repair.

[Lyn Anderson]

No problem. Happy to help.

[joshua deathdealer]

Beautiful! No truce in love. Says it all right there. Thanks for sharing this.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Joshua for reading and the comment. There is no truce in love. You are content or pissed off.

[joshua deathdealer]
