We didn't know... I didn't know..

For April poetry month, number four....

We didn't know... I didn't know...

---

I called Sheena in Scotland in the Winter of 1980 and I told her.

Beautiful Sheena, I miss you so and I am so sorry.

She whispered dear Johnnie, I forgave you.

I wasn't enough, you wanted everything.

I heard her crying  and I told her.

Thank you dear Sheena and I cannot forgive myself...

----

We didn't know, I didn't know.

The cloak of love was so damn sweet.

We made butterflies wishes and we swam in the kindness of love.

If I knew.

Love was dandelions wishes,

that cannot come true.

Opened up your page this morning and I am completely drawn in by this write. Your words are causing a swirl of emotions. Bits and pieces I can relate to. Life certainly is the master teacher. So well done! Thank you for sharing. :-)

Calling the letter to form a poem. That's an interesting idea. I think if you rub the dandelion really hard on your chin love will grow like a weed!

Here in Michigan. Dandelions have free-will. Everywhere and thank you William for reading and the comment.

A lament. Sad but true we do not always meet up to expectations. Never the less, dandelions spread many seeds.

I agree my friend. So many dandelion wishes been said. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Coyote, if you ever provide a list of the ladies you have known, it's going to need an index.
