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.

It's good to be there for a friend as much as you can. It can make all the difference in the end.

Peggy sounds like she stopped living, and apart of you gave up
on her...life can do that to people.

This is really good, the choices we make in life...

[Becky C Strukamp]

Such a warm passionate write of desperate hours reaching out to someone.

"Time, age and wisdom is learn with pain and many tests." This is one of my favorite lines, its states exactly what the poem is about in my opinion. And as you say so often and do it graciously, never too old to learn new. You did an amazing write.
