A little death

Just words.

                                      A  little  death

Silky skin, wine and song took us here.
You are as pretty as the rising sun my love.
Honey, dear and sweet heart I have called you.

You were like sweet Fall honey. Your caressed me  like a  gentle and needed Summer breeze.
Your hands  open new storms of love and need that were just illusions.
I whispered I loved you in the darkness of locked motel rooms.
You told me.  I will break your heart. I'm wild and not tamed. Love will break our backs  and leave us with tears.

I knew the ending at the beginning.
We  were just a shadow dance where two bodies rage and crash for the need of the body.
You called our Motel rendezvous just interlacing of two people wanting a little death only.
People who bled out, don't need love.

I told you. You are my darkness, my  daybreak.  I wished I found you before we turn to brick and steel.
We could of loved like Romeo and Juliet. Love so hard and raised a fire of love so strong for the Angels to see..

You laughed and held me tighter. You whispered. Dear Johnnie, the dead are dead. Can't arise again.

Years ago. I was a single soldier for 15 years. I liked the dark taverns, dance and song. Today those days feel like a myth. Thank you dear Jen for reading and the sweet words.

I'd like to thank you for your reviewing of my short story and poetry!
I believe that there're several faces of love and I agree that the fatal face of the love you've painted.
Matching the line and video was superb and this word from video and of course from your line "I will break your heart" was floating in my mind oddly! But you know, every people falling in love know they would break each other but they can't help but fall in love. Thank you for your work!

"You called our Motel rendezvous just interlacing of two people wanting a little death only."

nice foreshadow, emotion and imagery here

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you. I have been watching the shoe "Pinky Blinders." The story made me think because of the well written words and actions.

[Coyote Poetry]

It was support to be sad. Life can be unfair. Thank you for reading and the comment my friend.

I found a double entendre here the death of le petite mort and the understanding that from the ashes of the physical often we are able to find the spiritual. This is filled with all that makes us who we are.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree and thank you my friend for reading and the comment.
