A thousand years

Love never die my friend. Just a place we must water and care for.

                                   A thousand years

Where are you,  my sweet lover? I searched for you and all I found was traces of smiles and scent of gentle and sweet perfume left.

We had an untamed love. You turned me inside out and made me bleed often. You taught me I could feel and I was alive.

I remember your desperate kisses and our ascend to places of passion where we got lost in the dance of long embrace and kiss.

You made me know. I was dying to love and real love demand payment. We were the fortunate ones for a moment. We held embrace and kiss over all things. I told you I would love you a thousand year and you promised me nuptial bliss till my last breath.

I learn love built on words are promises  made to be broken. We held enormous dreams that stole our wisdom to disarm things that could not be. I wanted to save a world. That could not be saved. You wanted to dance, paint beautiful pictures and save a few.

I remember we found the fragile cup of quiet for a time. A time tattoos engraved deeply upon my heart and soul today. I learn too late. My promise to love you for a thousand years.  Were true emotions that I cannot forget and do not regret.

Today I'm adrift in the fragment of your memory. I learn restrain was a false emotion. I should of stop and never allowed you to leave my life. I should of bend and flexed to ensure I never allow your beautiful face and caress to leave my life.

Today I have dreams of a beauty who whispered kind words of love and promised me sweet kiss and embrace forever. I wished I knew. Forever was for the lucky and the fortunate ones.

Friend you have a fluency that makes your work so crystal clear and
easy to read, understand and appreciate! I can no doubt relate to this piece
as I'm sure several others will also, to look back and come
to grips with the fact that I could have or should have done
more to save that relationship is huge, I believe that's a growing
point in most peoples lives! Was for me anyway:) Thanks for sharing your amazing poetry
and God bless you!

A lovely poem of passion and its growth , How the hormones released play a strong part in atraction and when the euphoria lessons with time we learn and adapt to the changes. A thought inspiring write for me. well done

Thank you Andrew. I appreciate the comment.

Why do we blame ourselves for not being able to "bend" more to keep someone close? I've been there, and its very hard to pull yourself through the bitterness of it.

You've written this with a very opened heart, John. Thank you for sharing it!


My best,
Kelly

Thank you Kelly for reading and the comment. You are right. We do take the blame for things going wrong.

So many times in life we meet the other sex, date, think we are in love, only to find it did not last. One sided love does not have a chance. Funny how most of us remember that one that got away. Nice write. Valentine

[Coyote Poetry]

Yes we do. Things we cannot have. Leave us wishing for more. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

We do not always get what we desire.. the longing of the lost love is always with us..
The desire to be together and then the reality where you are not together
Fantastic write :)

Interesting personas in this little prose. One had grand illusory plans to save the entire world. One was a little bit more down to earth and knew she could only save a few. Somehow in their contradictions and untamed hearts, they could interlace and find their own song of love that worked. It's a shame that we have to say goodbye to some, thinking it's the right decision. But waking up each day, regretting that decision. And everyone else could love us and try to seduce us with their loving words, but we can only think of the one who needs not seduce us, because we'd love them a thousand years just for one word of love.

Life is never fair. Love comes sometime in the wrong place and with bad timing. Thank you Nadia for reading and the comment.

To be adrift on a memory....what a blissful thought that is, my friend. Those who leave us...years later we realize how important they were. We realize we should have worked harder to keep them in our lives. NO, the world can not be saved, but relationships that are worth keeping can be. I am touched by the emotions in this one. Lydi**

Thank you Lydia. I appreciate the comment. I agree. Can't save the world. Maybe learn a little peace.
