Dear Angela. Don't cry for yesterday my pretty lady.
Yesterday is gone and today we have tonight.

All of us are dirty with sin.
Few of us are clean and the most of us are just seeking a safe and peaceful place to rest.

My lady of the sea.
I loved when you tossed off your shoes and danced barefooted with the ocean.
You were my muse of the Pacific sea and I saw a perfect angel.
Not a broken woman in heart and in spirit.

Sweet Angela, the night is long and there is no cost to dance by the open sea.
Tonight we shall dance and drink the good drink and
pray to the night moon for better days.

I love you my Angela.
My Gypsy love forget the terror of bad memory and create
new place where love was alive and we seize the joy and the happiness of a better tomorrow.

Dear Angela. Let's cherish the night and allow the sorrow of yesterday to evaporate to distant place.
I'm here and you are with me my love. Tonight love is alive and sweet. Tomorrow we find love kindling and if we are lucky. Your weeping will turn to sweet song.

Just words

AW ....... And lovely tender words they are. It is true we only have now yet our past does shape our perspective, How lovely and soothing your voice in this poem. Women love to feel safe, and it is a treasure of a man that nurtures this space.

Edit suggestions
"and restful place to rest" --- restful replace with maybe peaceful as rest is used twice.
"barefooted with ocean." --- with the ocean or with oceans.
" long and there no cost to dance" --- there's or there is
"new place where love was alive and we seized the joy and the happiness of a better tomorrow"
I feel this should not be in the past tense as you are speaking of the future. eg where love is alive and we will seize the joy and ........
"evaporate to distance place" --- distant places or a distant place

The image of a woman dancing barefoot and carefree near the shoreline is so romantic....so free. A "live for today" attitude throughout this one, John. This moment is the one that counts. Wonderful. Lydi**

What a gift it would be, if someone (anyone) from my past remembered me this way. This is such a loving tribute with such uplifting words of caring thru-out. Always love your imagery of the sea & of dancing & of reaching out to another person with undiluted love & passion. Thanks for sharing.
