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.

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.

the bitterness left within every heart when it desires to love but is caged inside their own heart out of protection..

[Jack Heslop]

A nice bit of poetry with a great accompanying picture which really personalises it. Cheers for the read.

A wonderful poem depicting an individual's isolation and despair. Full of insight and meaning. Well done.

A lesson for all of us to learn from. It is sad when they won't let you help and you just watch them self destruct....right now I am watching a "friend" go through this, if only she could see the end and how it would turn out she would change her ways... Thank You for sharing this. Very heart felt.

"Leaving her wishing to had held on to a old lover and friend"-
"Leaving her wishing to have held onto an old lover and friend"

I saw someone below addressed another part. ;) I actually am VERY inspire by this poem. Bringing tears to my eyes even now thinking about a dear friend I tried to save from herself/drugs and failed. She still needs people but there is only so much of yourself you can give to a person that has a habit of abusing the hands that reach out to help.

Great write once again!
