Regard to Melanie 

I know you are far away my dear lover.
You are fulfilling needed dreams in secret places where lover can find peace and safety.

I'm alright and I have accepted my destine ending.
I'm left with strong coffee and dead memories.

I'm tire dear lover. Some of us cannot be saved.
We have accepted little and it is okay.

You reminded me I was worth something.
You reminded me I could wish and dream.
Sweet lover, you told me  love was possible.
Left me with hope and a prayer.

Please sweet Melanie.
Dance and sing in great and beautiful places.
Dead dreams mean little.
When you have accepted dead-ends and roadblocks.

Freedom is under-rated. Best days in a life.
Open road and no time limits.
Old men learn life is fair.
We pay for every sin done.
Greedy men who swam in the deadly sins.
Pay for every action in three-fold.
Old soldiers who learned new hate.
Find places where ain't much left.

Sweet and beautiful Melanie.
Thank you. I remember you.
Made me feel young and hopeful for a second.
With regard and love. Johnnie.

Lucky Melanie, what a touching, albeit bittersweet love poem. I think the same gypsy blood runs through our veins Coyote...

Freedom is under-rated. Best days in a life.
Open road and no time limits.

You have so many grand stories to tell, and memories to share, we're lucky to have you here at the cafe.

So beautiful poem my friend. Touching. She sounds like a lovely person. Still your words made me sad.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Sarah. The words are sad. Accepting less is sad.

this is an excellent write and tribute if it were to a memory that is a jewel to be admired and shared with others.. the honesty makes its strength and gives it that attention grabbing interest from start to end.

I love pieces that make me FEEL!... this one did just that... Each line is emotionally charged and hits the mark with painful precision.. it is so bittersweet and moving.. you can feel the pain, the angst, the longing, the love, the hopeful memories, and the heartbreaking loss.. You have a wonderful story-telling ability where I always get lost in your words floating from the page into my heart... so powerful and touching... well done!

[Coyote Poetry]

[Matching Socks]

So wonderfully romantic. I should feel sad that the ending is not happier but it's perfect in that "if you love something set it free" kind of way. Beautiful poetry. Just beautiful.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ana. Love is never fair. But need to know the dance of love than wish you did.

[Matching Socks]

It can teach us some good lessons. :)
