The twisted dance of love. (written in 1988)

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
" A rewrite from December, 1988."

                      The twisted dance of love…
                     

I lay beside you in the night of the Germany December.
I feel the heat of tender flesh and I look into your blue eyes.
They shine like the shining night stars on a clear night.
You tell me. You are so good to me, so kind to me.
