A woman, like you.

Reading my poetry from 1993. Made me think of a good memory and good time.

                          A woman. like you.

Me and my sweet love  sat on a bench at the Monterey pier on a warm Winter day in 1992.
I held her tightly.
 I whispered softly into her ear.

I want a woman, like you.
A woman with eyes like the deep blue sea.
With the hunger to touch and feel every pleasure.

I need to hear your laughter.
To listen to your stories and great dreams.
To be able to fall into your arms and hold you tightly when the
coldness of the night overtake us.

The kind woman smiled.
Shared warm and sweet kisses.
Told me.

"Love is fair. People who can love without fear. Open secret places and doors.
Feel safe and needed. The award is joy and peace. You are my calm and peace."

I thanked my blue eyed girl.
I told her
"Tonight we dance by the sea. Drink sweet red wine and forget the world for a time.
Allow the sea to sing to us. The Kind Pacific ocean keeps secret of new and old lovers.
Trying to find paradise and safety in love for a moment."

The woman smiled and told me.
"Life is to be lived and celebrated my prince.
Let's go to the sea and we can dance with the moon and the stars.
Tonight we are free and I love you so.
Love is the last freedom. Hold me tightly and never let me go."

The Pacific ocean was alive and well.
Two more lover's joined with the ghost of old lover's and new.
Making the spirit of the sea smile.
Love and kindness is the way to joy and happiness.

Beautiful and just absolutely wonderful. I greatly adored reading this romance. A story that unfolded and took the room. Wonderful write.

Normally I would scoff and mock at the eyes like the deep blue sea line, but in this case it actually works in a poem as it is something you are stating that you said years ago. So I kind of like it and it works in its cheesiness. I don't think I am telling you anything that you don't know here. I think that it was quite intentional. Good use.

"coldness of the night overtake us."- you forgot the 's' on overtakes

something in this stanza sounds a bit awkward to me:
""Love is fair. People who can love without fear. Open secret places and doors.
Feel safe and needed. The award is joy and peace. You are my calm and peace."
- not in what you say, but in the way that it is said, I think... I don't know, it just might be something you want to look at again and think on for a minute. It isn't bad, just make sure it sounds the way that you wanted it to when you read it out loud to yourself.

this: "Tonight we dance by the sea. Drink sweet red wine and forget the world for a time.
Allow the sea to sing to us. The Kind Pacific ocean keeps secret of new and old lovers.
Trying to find paradise and safety in love for a moment."" is amazingly wonderful! I love it, well stated!!!

The last few lines were really nice insights. I enjoyed reading this poem. It was lovely and sweet as well as thought provoking on a larger scale. great job!

Beautiful poem full of love and devotion. It has a lot of feeling behind it, good work, and pen on.

[Horizon K.]

How very romantic, and it reads in a way, like an Arabian tale, the way they speak... these two lovers and their unfolding uninhibited poetic expression of their shared love, free by the sea. And very cool, to visit these poems written from the past. To look within them and see... who you were, who you are... the evolution of self can be seen when we look closely...

[Angel's Lady]

Nothing but a feeling of love emanating from this piece. Nicely done.
