Two out of three ain't bad

Just words

                         Two out of three ain't bad

I told her. I will be your Hemingway and you can be my Agnes . You will be my beloved and untold story. I have found you after un-rudely and useless war I volunteered to be in. You will be my safe place to rest. You will show me calm and peace in the war of confusion and wrong places.

You soft brown eyes caressed me with the gentleness of kindness and pity.  You did not promise tomorrow. You told me we have only today. Love isn't for us. I belong to another. We will have our Paris and we will separate my love.

I knew you did not belong to me. You were just a lover that made me feel so damn alive. I saw the want to stay and leave in your gentle eyes. I brought you near and I whispered.

You will become my sweet dreams of long and warm nights in Paris and also leave me with nightmares of things lost and cannot be found. Beautiful Katie smiled and whispered. Two out of three ain't bad. Good to know need and want. Love is for the lucky and the brave dear Johnnie..

The woman for whom this may be written should know about it! I love your allusions, Sir. I like the way it progresses; something I will keep in mind when I write something on the topic.
Thank you for sharing.

Unknown and secret are good to have. Keep you safe. Sometime what you want is not what you need.

I did no wish to imply anything; just an expression. I understand :)

The trade offs in love can be crushing yet have a poetic beauty to them. It comes through so very conspicuously in your piece. I havent come across this kind of poetry before but I find it quite intriguing
Great work John :)

Ohhh definitely love is for the bravest of hearts. There is nothing else in life that makes us come more alive and hurts deeper than love.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Love is the best and worst days of our life. Thank you for reading and the comment.

This is rather heartbreaking but true to life.
People we cross paths with in life can leave such a lasting impression.
Very well done.

Thank you Ana. You are right. Sometime people who touch our life for a short time. Leave their reflection upon our life.
