Waiting for a miracle..

Every sin, we did. We shall pay for. When we broke a kind woman heart. Her tears will become your tears one day. Karma can be a b***h.

Waiting for a miracle. Some mini-poetry.

1- Cheryl..

Few speak your name now.

When the whiskey is good and I seek pretty faces in my lonely nights.

I remember you.

You were a wild eyes woman who wanted to taste love.

Tonight I whisper. Cheryl, dear Cheryl.

I remember you.

I pray you found a place, where someone had loved you.

Made you smile.

2-  Leona..

Did I thank you?

Did I tell you, you were my kindest friend.

Now I am a old man and I have learn.

We have few friends and my beautiful Leona.

Thank you for the dance, thank you for the love.

I got lost in new dreams and you stayed where you belongs.

I never forgot you and I know.

You can't go back to the places you ran from.

Today I remember you dear Leona.

Thank you for the kindness of friendship.

3- Peggy..

Beautiful Peggy, you stirred my heart, many times.

You were a wild child and I tried to keep-up with you.

I could not.

You were searching for a miracle. I wondered often, did you find the miracle?

I remember us making love near the sea and you telling me.

Leave the windows wide open and show our bare asses to the moon and the stars.

I knew you for 15 years,

I saw eighteen year old girl turn into sober and sad women.

I tried to save you and you asked me the last time I saw you in 1992.

Am I your last love, am I your last kiss?

I told you that day. It is your decision my pretty Peggy.

I want to be.

Peggy needed the gin and the whiskey. She told me on the telephone in 1993.

Love isn't enough for me Johnnie.

All such beautiful and special faces. Cheryl, Leona and Peggy.... each of them touched you in a different yet equally special way. Every relationship is unique and leaves its stamp forever on our soul. We always carry it within us somewhere. Time waits for no one but our memories abide with us always.
All the mini-poems were wonderful to read. Thank you for sharing your awesome experiences.

Bittersweet memories can bring tears to the eyes or smile to the lips. How are you my friend? Good to revisit writerscafe again....I am craving hot tea.

Hello my friend. I am glad you are back. I hope you are writing.

I have been so busy working, trying to keep my students activities going, writing grants for my Indian Education program, that my poetry writing has really suffered. I will need to motivate myself to start again!

I am retired now. We need the Native voices loud and clear dear Jaweena. In the Spring. I want to go visit the 6,000 plus children killed in Canada Government schools. Burn sage for them. You are doing things to help the children. I need to.

wow this brings me back to a few women....very different they were...affected my life in different ways...love imagined, love that is real...we wake up from dreams and wonder if we really dreamed them.
same with relationships...it happens there too.
and yet we are grateful for the experiences...because at least our hearts were touched.

I agree Jacob. With old age. Names and faces feel like myth and tale. Thank you for reading and the comment.

What can I say, John? You have a good heart and beautiful soul. You are kind. Every one of us has done mistaken. We are only humans though. We can speak of them, learn of them. But what's left after all? Love, you had it and you still have it.

Thank you for sharing.

I agree dear Sarah. Need two people needing the same things. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

All three women search for love in different ways; one needed love so badly, took to whiskey to soothe her soul; Leona was searching for friendship; Peggy "stirred your heart" and was searching for a miracle; you knew her for a long time....you two mad love with the window open.....love wasn't enough for Peggy.....I like the structure of this pow; it flows nicely and is interesting.....Best, B
