The moonlight and you

Just words

                         

    The moonlight and you
I found her again on a rainy Fall October night and I fell to my knees and I told her. When I lost you. I learn I could bleed regret and sorrow. You were the best things I ever held and knew. I was 6000 miles away and I couldn't forget her blue eyes and your kind and gentle beautiful face.

I painted my life black with false dreams. My life was a search for a good way to die and the war taught me. My silence pain was not loving enough. I learn too late. I should of lived and die in her eyes and embrace.

In the cover of  Middle East moonlight. I wrote a 100,000 words of love for her.  Journals filled with jigsaw poetry. My words intoxicating with the need to consume in her  kiss and to fall into your embrace again. Even in my poetry on the paper. I knew.

Wise men hold on and foolish men allow the existence of love to be wasted and to be tossed away. Today I'm in Clinton, Michigan and she is  waiting for me. A midnight call allowed me to fall into the gentleness of her eyes again.

She opened the door in a tee-sheet, kind face and beautiful smile. She wrapped your arms around me. She whispered. "My Soldier boy came home. I pray you didn't fall to your madness." We fell together holding hands and sharing warm and sweet kisses.
 
She put her long legs over my lap and you whispered.  Every kiss is missed and every celestial place where lovers fall. Are never forgotten. You were kind to me and I was a wild and untamed without wanting solid place or proper ending.  I'm scared, used and not innocence dear Johnie. Do you want to be here with me?"

I kissed her one, I kissed her twice and I told her. Few angels and perfect people. Some of us must learn the hard way. We must feel love, bleed love and swim in the good days and nights. I'm dirty with sin too my Jenny. I will love you forever if you allow me. She smiled and she lay her head into my chest and she whispered.

"I' glad you are here. I knew you would find me. I'm easy to find my love. I have cheated myself often in the emotion of love and today. You and I. Slow and easy dear Johnnie. Love comes when love come. Love find you and I hope you and I. Are not myth and tale for your journal.

There is a lot of sentiment in this is story but it doesn't feel quite authentic to me - it just seems too over romanticised. There is lots of good writing here but there is quite a bit of editing needed.
E.g. I should of live and die - I should have lived and died
You have also put in a lot of full stops where there should be commas.
Regards,
Alan

Altho I enjoyed reading this entire story, my favorite part was the 100,000 words of love written under the far-off moonlight. It reminds me of times in my life when I did the same thing . . . notebooks, cards, letters, journals, everything pouring out of me back then. I love the way you can put yourself back into that frame of mind & how it was during those times.

The old journals take me back. I have 40 plus journals from 40 years of writing. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

I love the line about how few angels are perfect people. I think that is a unique thought, but one I believe to be true. Nice work.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Poet. Few angels. Just us doing our best.

Even when my head's whizzing along at 40 miles per hour your writing always make me slow down and chill.
It has that effect on me.
That's not much of a review but it's honest.


Happy New Year Coyote.
I hope to read your writing often in 2017.

Just words......this one reads much closer to home. Many times we search the world over only to find love living close to home. Valentine
