The next step is love...

Finally a new poem..

The next step is love…

1- Was a beautiful Michigan Summer day and

you held my hands near Lake St. Clair.

You asked me by the Clinton River. Johnnie, Johnnie. Do you love me?

I do love you.

2- Once upon a time.

Dear Andrea, I needed to hear your words,

I needed your soft kisses.

You were the prettiest gal in my life.

I left you for ugly wars, I left you to find the unknown places.

I didn’t know dear Andrea.

I had the most beautiful thing in my world near.

It was you.

3- Once upon a time, I believed in love.

I left my home, I left my country.

I found warm kisses and kind women.

I saw the ugly of life and I learned.

Dear Andrea, wandering soldier is coming home.

I hope you remember me?

Dear Andrea wrote back kind words.

We will gather together at lake St. Clair in the Spring.

We will talk, we will laugh and maybe we may cry.

The first step of love Johnnie. Is finding safe place

to be. Writing new stories of love.

I am waiting in Michigan for you and

the sun is shining today.

Coyote
