See you again

            See you again

I have become cold and lonely in life and heart again.
Life seem to have crumble into a millions pieces and I don't care to repair.
Lonely road and dead-ends had left me in place of a shallow life.

Years ago, it was 1992 and the California Spring. Your kind smile and beautiful face came to me.
You sat with me and we played a game of chess. I remembered you told me. Soldier, you need tender
loving care. You need to forget the past. Let's me and you go buy some whiskey and wine. Dance on the Monterey beach and leave the world behind.

Today the sea is far away and your memory lay heavy upon heart and mind.
I told you once. Love won't forget. When I lose you, my butterfly dream. I will wish for you everyday of my life.
Today I write words for things in the lost and found.

                           Dear Beatrice
I remembered you my love.
We bathe in the quiet of the sea and soft whispered.
You were my savior and I was your Hemingway.
I was seeking the good death and you were seeking the perfect journey.
I remember holding you near.
Your face near my face and the softness of your skin against my skin.
Make me  want life, dance and journey with you.
Dear Beatrice. We roamed highway one for three months.
We sang song and danced on the empty beaches.
We honored love by holding tightly with restrains.
Today I wish for Big Sur and you.
I shall always love you Beatrice.

I want to see you again. I need to remember the man who wanted the sea, the good drink and the dance by the midnight moon.  You told me once. The Hemingway life. Can be sweet and wonderful. Don't live for death my Johnnie. Live for life.

Tonight I took my Grandsons to the lake.  We danced for the moon and I told the night stars.
Thank you Beatrice. My savior, my sweet love. You taught me how to live and find peace in the shelter
of confusion and disappointment.

dear John, wen I was nineteen, I was on the beach of the Pacific Ocean...
innocent as the clouds against the blue sky. The dance of life is a drama
with ups and downs, and many clowns... 🎼 "Bring in the Clowns"☔️👼🌹🎶
Have you heard the song, "Bring in the Clowns". Very beautiful as is your poetry.
truly, Pat
Your poetry touches of love that lives on forever... Amen...

[Coyote Poetry]

I have heard the song often. Good to be 19 years old and the sea near. Thank you Patricia for reading and the comment.

I'm sure she read your poetry. Souls connect even without letters or phones. Beatrice sounds like a wild but kind woman. Love teaches us how to grow up and how to stay children as well. Beautiful words in the moonlight and by the sea. Thank you for sharing with us.

The poem is great and engaging as always, but there are a few grammatical errors which must be rectified-
Second line must be- "Life seems to have crumbled into a million pieces and I don't care to repair."
In the third line "have" should be there instead of "had"
Second stanza, second line- "remember" instead of "remembered"
Same stanza, next line- "...Let's you and me go and buy some whisky and wine, dance on the Monterey beach and leave the world behind"
Rectify and the quality of your poem would be enhanced.
Keep writing.
