Please show me who you are...

September poetry number five.

                  Please show me who you are...

I told you. I am the fortunate one. You allowed me to see you happy, see you sad. I know woman are filled with mystery and secrets. They can make you feel like a king if they desire. I know I am the lucky one.

Pretty lady smiled and I adored her eyes, her twisted smile. She whispered. Love cost plenty dear Johnnie. When you see too much, want everything. You will steal the need away. You and I. We are just dancers on the bloody storm. I liked you. You didn't want to change me and you listen to me when I talk. You love the Black Velvet whiskey and you don't want to steal my soul. Love should be easy, love should be fun. You made life fun, you made love fun.

I told her. I remember you found me. Writing poetry by the sea and you made me read to you for hours. I asked you to read to me and I fell in love with your voice. I told you. Please stay with me and allow me to know gladness. You honored me and you stayed.

She stood-up and she took me to the Monterey bay. We danced with the moving sea and I told her. Thank you for being kind to me. You made empty life. Wild, worthwhile and so damn amazing.

She brought me closer and she told me. Love shouldn't cost everything, love isn't ownership. With you. I can be who I am. You love my happiness, you love my anger and you leave me be when I need silence. You don't ask dumb question. You allow me to accept who I am. Johnnie, I am the fortunate one.

'Wild, worthwhile and so damn amazing.' If that's not a loving quote, then I don't know what is! I'm always impressed by how emotional and heavy your poetry is because you always find a way to make your poetry so filled to the brim with emotion and love and your words feel so honest, and this one is no exception. Powerful and beautifully written!

Thank you my dear friend. We must seek the good things. So many bad things are happening. Hard to see the good things in our world.

Aww...I have always dreamed of such a love like this! There are no truer words. Love shouldn't cost anything, it isn't ownership. Love should be free and pure. Such a beautifully written piece..Thank you so much for a smile !

"You didn't want to change me and you listen when to me I talk" isn't that all we want? To be accepted as we are and to be heard..you sound quite bohemian in your work coyote ? Wild and free..drinking Jack Daniels straight and smoking handrolled cigarettes.i have thought of you with faded jeans and cowboy hat/boots..don't tell me any differentplease..let me dream lol..I love this piece by the way... it's gritty and real and I've never experienced love like that so perhaps that why.i like it so much..thank you..Caroline.😊

I still have the cowboy hat. Ready for Texas. I have always loved to travel and I love good conversation and good song. I will return to California to visit next year. My dream. One year in Big Sur. Write my novel. Thank you dear Caroline for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
