Last day, first day. Hold on tight. “If I knew”
If I knew
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
If we knew the future. Would we have done things differently?
If I knew yesterday was our last day together, was the last kiss we shared.
If I knew I would never embrace you again. I would of held you tighter.
I would have said more tender words and took a lasting picture for my heart and mind.
I didn’t know love was fragile, promises easily forgotten. I didn’t know love would wither
away. I didn’t know love was like cut red roses. Given freely and slowly dying becoming
dust and memory.
I believed in the elixir of the sweet kiss and I believed in the love words that stirred my heart and hope.
I didn’t know absence create forgetfulness.
I didn’t know thriving love was held on by a simple thread. Honored by few who bestowed love as
honored and blessed.
Today If I have known. I would of been kinder and held tighter to kind woman. I would have never left you.
Too late for sweet dreams and promises forgotten.
IF I knew. I would have never allowed you to leave my life.
Coyote/John Castellenas

Grea, well sir, the good thing is that not only is love a gossamer thread that can be re-assumed by the force of love ( so not lost), and never despaired, but that you also left exactly the right amount of words to be read from the reader (167)
