One more cup of coffee my dearest.

( April is poetry month. Poem number four.)

He made two cups of coffee with a pinch of sugar and light cream. He watched dear Susi working in her garden and he adored her. She loved her Monterey and the Spring flowers blooming, so colorful.

He called her, my beautiful wildflower. She was a teacher of children and he was a soldier seeking peace in the confused world. Her dark brown eyes glittered with hope and she adored South American coffee and easy conversation with the morning sun above them.

She caressed the dirt with her soft hands and she asked him. Are you going to be alright? I know you love our Monterey and the sea. Remember when you return. I will be here waiting for my wandering soldier. Me and the sea will sing songs for you every night. Pray for you.

The sky was majesty and she was so lovely. Long ginger hair resting on her shoulders, t-sheet and shorts. He told her. One day I will be done with the Army and I will return to you. He went to the loveseat holding the two coffees and she joined him. Her bare feet across his lap and she took the coffee. He told her. Thank you dear Susi for your kindness as he caresses her resting feet.

I want one more cup of coffee with you dear Susi. I want my life filled with your tender words and I need to be part of your garden forever. You make my world hopeful and beautiful.

She smiled and she reached over and gave him a kiss. She told him. Dear Johnnie. Once you saved me and you wanted nothing. Now I will save you and please write to me. Please call me and tell me. You miss me and you love me.

He told her. You are my everything, you are the kisses I need and I love you dear Susi. Please don’t forget me.

She took his hands and she told him. When you found me alone and broken. You gave me a home, you made me laugh and dance again. I am brave now and I know. There are kind and generous people in the world now. Our love is written in the sand and the Goddess of the sea will protect you. Dear Johnnie. I will be waiting for you when your wars are done.
