Sweet Peggy

Bad drink and wrong decisions can put us on the wrong road.

   






                    






       Sweet Peggy.


 She is sitting alone in the warm  Florida's evenings.
 
 She is raw, sexy and like a wild cat in the tropics.
 
She is hungry, desperate and passionate.
 
Her dreams are confused, twisted and  never fulfilled.
 
Her dreams got twisted,
goals got lost somewhere.
Her destiny took her to places that left her empty and alone.
 
    Loneliness, desire and  reaching out too late.
    Left her stone cold today.
 
   She is hopeless, afraid and she is dreaming of love lost.
   Leaving her wishing to had held on to a old lover and friend.

   She called me on the phone.
   Asked me to stop by please.
   I stay with her for a moment.
   I left her alone. Hard to find kindness and love.
   When the highway is blocked by disappointment and fear.

Time, age and wisdom is learn with pain and many tests.
 
    Love, forgiveness and sadness is all we have left.
 
                  John Coyote

This is absolutely beautiful. Nothing else to say about it. It was finely written, it was powerful, it creates a sense of longing, of hoping, you mastered this piece very well for it being so short. In just a few passages you managed to bring a tear to my eye. Well done.

This picture reminiscent of the 70s Is so telling as I had the similar experience then You and I are not so different in age nor desires or roads traveled. I can relate to this .I felt angst in the depth of it.And I too remember the name of the girl

[KAREN]

Written well and with alto of truth. The whole poem is full of emotion, and the ending is very strong and deep.

[Silent Serenity also kn..]

This piece is amazing! I like the way you fully explained a lot of emotions & allowed me to feel this girls soul of pain! We all at one point in our lives have felt these emotions you described! Your writing skills are top notch Coyote! Thank you for sharing this old piece of yours newly remade!

Amazing poem here. The sadness, the choices and the help that sometimes doesn't reach those people. Sometimes we learn from those mistakes and learn better aspects in life. Self destruction accompanies the ones who let it be.

Ver nice poem and i cant say anything else because star wolf ha said it for me.

[Star Wolf]

A very moving, sad tragic tale. So many people get lost on these roads to self destruction. A true friend can help pull them back.

[Wildfleour]

I totally understand this.
