I wanna fall in love

Just words.

I wanna fall in love

Once, I was seeking the Hemingway life. Running toward war and away from love and life. Somehow I found the J.D Salinger silence. Once, bold and foolish man. Now he sit by the sea wishing for last dance, more laughter and the sweetness of love words.

Creeping silence, creeping loneliness and creeping wishes invade my quiet mind. I wonder? Can once man, who loved the great storms, can the man, who loved love. Is he gone?

 Hemingway's life led this great  man to suicide in 1961 and I wonder what did he yearn for before he ended his life? Did Hemingway remember the pretty eyes women with perfect curves? Did he remember his beloved sea? Did he remember dancing the tango with a pretty French girl? I pray the dreams of war didn't drive Papa Hemingway to the taste of the gun.

I'm beginning to learn the J.D Salinger wish. To be left alone and to write for myself only. I feel my words are meaningless to people. I don't know. Old age, old disappointment and feeling I can't do anything to change my world.

I have met angels and I have met devils. Both broke my heart. Today I write a poem, a wish.

--------------------------------------------------

                             I wanna fall in love again

Love me right, love me wrong.

I have loved many things in my long life.

I have loved the sea.

She was my perfect storm.

I could touch her, dance with her.

I could not hold her forever.

I have loved love.

Oh, those beautiful and tempting eyes.

The gentle curves of a woman body.

Wonderous trips of hands and sweet kiss,

discovering secret places and perfect knowledge of emotions.

I remember the whiskey kisses and

two people falling deeper and deeper into the freedom of wild

and untamed love.

I know the sea will always befriend me and love did not.

The movement of love, hills and valleys.

Perfect places that can turn to hellish place.

I wanna to fall in love.

I want to dance with the Pacific and 

I want a kind woman to whisper love words under the midnight sky.

I want to feel again.

Today, I'm on the crossroad of life. Come alive or forget?

Sigh; I sit here a young woman alone and drinking away the loneliness despite being happily engaged and befriended by many but still not at all engaged and I hear you. Perhaps our circumstances and lives are extremely different but I hear you nonetheless and I wish you peace and some form of happiness though I know from experience it is not so simple a word as that. I know being with others doesn't ease the ache as though that were a cure and being alone when frustrated doesn't always stop the angst as it should. Life is never so cut and dry or black and white yet we hope; with poets wings we fly on words so simple and yet so vast but we try and in our best intentions we soar. Here's wishing you a safe and happy landing. Always a friend, T.

This is great.

Very nice. All of us want to be loved in this world. Some people who even crave love will do anything to get love even staying in an abusive environment.

[Coyote Poetry]

You are right and love can save us and can kill us. Thank you for reading and the comment.

these sweet words are those words which i sometimes overlook when i read a book or an ebook, maybe because it shows the vulnerability in me or perhaps the cowardice but then with the words said in this poem wants me to really fall in love again which at this point will just remain wishful thinking. thanks for the write my friend

"I know the sea will always befriend me and love did not.
The movement of love, hills and valleys.
Perfect places that can turn to hellish place."

i believe Hemmingway suffered from
Hemochromatosis , maybe that is what caused his melancholy ... who knows ?.

A beautiful tribute John :)

Hemingway saw terrible things. He fought in WW1 and served as a reporter in WW2. He had great demons. Thank you Stella for reading and the comment.

poor man... :(

[Coyote Poetry]

J.D Salinger and Hemingway were friends. Both struggled. Old USA told the soldiers, get over the war and begin your life. Many could not.

[Chris Shaw]

Beautiful words Coyote. A pleasure to read them. Everyone needs to love. Whether it is with nature or a special person, that feeling which exhilarates and makes the day so much better is second to none. I wish you much love in your live poet, both giving and receiving.
