Love didn't break my heart. Life did.

June-days poetry three.

                         Love didn't break my heart. Life did.

He told the beautiful Gypsy girl near the Monterey bay. Love didn't break my heart. Life did. I am so tire young lady. I allowed vice and tomfoolery to control my life and mind. The fool shall learn too well, you can dance the devil and he will always wins. I have played the slave for rich men and large companies. Made them so much money and what do I have to show for this? I left people behind and I forgot kindness.

She laughed at my words and she told me. We will sin and sin some more, we can't stop the decay of our heart and our mind. We will love the seven deadly sins and delight in folly with great delight. We will leave unpaid debt. There is more sinners than honest people. All of us had faltered and we are slowly dying. Tonight we shall burn some white sage for the midnight moon and we will release the horrid memories to the dancing Pacific. We will drink the tequila, dance on the bare beach and we will sing to the long night.

Her words soothe his spirit and he asked her. Can we paint new canvas? Can we escape the maze of s**t we are forced to live in? You are kind and a beautiful young woman. You make me want to taste the sweetness of your lips, know the color of love in your eyes.

She looked away from him, her cheeks became rosy red. And he told her. You are a blushing moon flower and my kindred spirit. You have weaved me dandelion wishes to believe in. My old heart had whims and wants I am afraid to know again.

She took my hands and she kissed them. She forced me up and she whispered. Maybe a midnight fling can turn into a morning kiss? Maybe the shade of love can find us.

Part confession, part titillation, this one. The speaker talks of the lessons life has taught him, but the Gypsy girl knows what's good for what ails him. She tells him we will love the seven deadly sins. This line resonated with me because when I was young, lust was my favorite. Now that I'm not so young, sloth has taken the lead.

Hello my friend. I do agree with you. When we are young. We will dance on fire and laugh. In old age. We are more wise, if we are lucky. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Life can break the heart, that is so true and when it does many search for solace in places which may only offer temporary reprieve,. Drugs and drink come to mind, common place these days, particularly with the young. Everyone is accountable for their own actions, who am I to judge. A broken mind will respond to kindness. I always leave your page John, pleased to have visited you.

Thank you dear Chris. We will learn great sadness. Maybe we must learn? Maybe, can make us kinder?

Maybe you are right dear Coyote.
