Beautiful Laura sat by the sea

Beautiful places and things can't be forgotten.

                        Beautiful Laura sat by the sea

I sat in a field of wildflowers.
The scent of the wildflowers took me to the sea and sweet Laura.

Laura loved the free flowers. She told me often.
Beauty should be free and not caged.

I went far away from sweet Laura. I served the Army and she was wild and free.
I remember her sweet voice.  Her singing of sweet songs of love and peace.
She loved dancing with the waves and tossing me butterfly kisses from a distance.

She asked "Would I return to her my Poet friend?"
I told her. "Life is not fair. I will try to return to you my love. I know you can't return
to the same place you left."

Laura took my hands. We danced upon the Monterey beach.
She whispered. " I guess we must enjoy the moment. Pretend we are Romeo and Juliet.
Last waltz or first waltz. You will be a friend till my last breathe."

I wished daily to return to the sea.
To share sweet wine and kisses with my muse.
Sweet Laura still dances with the waves in sweet dreams. I still can hear  her sweet laughter and see the
gentleness of real love in her eyes.

Thank you dear Laura.

To dance by the sea with your sweet muse. Wildflower and sweet songs, all by the sea. To live for the momen, together by the sea. Ah,

"The scent of the wildflowers took me to the sea and sweet Laura". I just love how you invite the reader into an old memory by means of an odor. I was charmed the whole way through, very sweet.

Thank you Michelle. Old memories become sweeter with time. Today I'm old and I watch my grand-boys dance and enjoy the sea.

has a sense of drinking at the time of writing for some reason ... i dont know why ...

[Coyote Poetry]

Wasn't drinking. Just wandering back to good days and laughter. I have good days today. Just a Grandfather who watches his grandchildren play and desire peace and calm for my children and all children.

What a gloriously romantic write this is, Coyote. The imagery is stunning and the emotions are very real. Laura is a wonderful muse if she can help you write poetry like this! Lydi**

Thank you Everett for reading and the comment. Next year. Finally enough money to visit the California coastline. One of the most beautiful place in our world.

[Everett DeValle]

You are very welcome, Coyote...California coastline does have its own charm and beauty that can posses a soul in wandering...I do hope you enjoy your time here, as you have done so in your military service...it's those memories that burn in your mind that makes you think of the coastline...and wonderful memories you have, Kind Sir.
