Love and hate..
Words become more important with time. Better to separate with kindness. No guarantee will meet again.
Love and hate
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
I wrote this back inn 1993. Young woman wanted everything and nothing. I told her life is long and hard. We must try to be kind.
Love and Hate…She spoke of love and hate in the same sentence.
I asked her did she know the difference?
She wanted my affection and wanted to escape.
Now our love had turn dirty.
Like love was drowning her somehow.
I asked does she want to be free?
A tear rolled down her young beautiful face.
I told her “life is a bloody roller coaster ride.
The decision of to give or to take.
It is our road to decide?
Today it may not matter.
All things good and bad will fade away with time.
I don’t hold on to things that desire to be free.
The only proof of true love is time.
Stay with me if you desire? ”

“the only proof of true love is time”, This is so true. I met and was hugely attracted to my husband, luckily we grew towards each other, but I think that was a case of good luck. Now after many years we can safely say it is true love. Well most days anyway!

Isnt that how it is for free spirits? They are overwhelmed with the new feeling if love, while at the same time they want to fly high without ties and unknown situations of responsibility. To love somebody is pure art.

There was a whiskey, more than he could afford but less than what he needed to make things right, but he was out of excuses for mistaking things for comets and shooting stars.

Whiskey can’t make some moment better. Honest words can get you into trouble. A honest drinker may tell the real truth. Thank you for the excellent comment.
