You are everything and everything is you

Just words

                                  You are everything and everything is you

Love remembers everything,  I told my new young friend at the Seaside city, California tavern. A beautiful red-haired beauty with long legs walked by and I told my new friend. You can't bring back what is gone. Love given without regret and restraint cannot be found after negative words and the long highway tore the need apart.

The man smiled and he asked. Many kind of women. Some are keepers and some are runners. How do you know the difference?  I told the man. All loved received and given. Tattoos and scars left for us to remember the good days and nights. The runners are many and the keepers are few. Take each dance with the hope. The long nights and sweet kisses are like the sweet wines of life; they can last forever. We will hold precious in old age.

I walked to the Seaside beach and sat with my Poet friend. She told me. At least the seas keep our secrets and we can find some kind of peace. I agreed and remembered a beautiful redhead with long legs and blue eyes like the Pacific ocean. I tell the moon, sky and the sea. You are everything  and everything was you. I learn too late.

Hey :) I have some suggestions for corrections here:

Love [remembers] everything
A beautiful [red-haired] beauty with long legs walked by...
Love given without regret and [restraint] cannot be found after negative words
and the long highway [tore] the need apart.

How do you know the [difference]?
All [love] received and given.
The long nights and sweet kisses are like the sweet wines of life[;]

I [walked] to the Seaside beach
and [sat] with my Poet friend. She told me.
At least the [seas] keep our secrets and we can find some kind of peace.
I agreed and [remembered]
a beautiful [redhead] with long legs and blue eyes like the Pacific ocean.

Anyway, I would like to say that your poem was like a breath of fresh air and it was a pleasant read. I could practically hear the seagulls and breathe in the saltiness of the ocean as I watch the girl pass by. :)

You do have to sort through the different ways a woman approaches. You can pass on good suggestions, but it is an ever changing landscape and you have to nurture a relationship for it to work. And then the missed moments of love that we all wonder "what if".

[Coyote Poetry]

The what if's. Leave us wishing for different endings. Thank you Willard for reading my words.

Just words perhaps, but they are beautiful words.

Love remembers everything and whether keeper or runner, the memories are for life.


So enjoyed reading this. T.

Some are keepers, and some are losers. Best to shop around before making that life long commitment. Valentine
