“Sweet mistress Malone”

I caught the dengue fever in South America in 1993. Bad food and tropical weather did me in. They send me to the England shores to heal. I remember seeing the ivory coast of England and drinking whiskey in Dover waiting for the bus to London.
I fell in love with London, bright lights and friendly people. I found the nearest Pub in the business district.  I drank from noon to six pm. I roamed to Hyde park and I read poetry to a old lady and high school kids with nothing to do. Nightfall came and I sat alone. I brought out my Jack Daniel whiskey and I drank from the bottle. I was feeling…

Hemingway last dance

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
" I need a year in Monterey."         

         Hemingway last dance

I returned Monterey in late May of 2016.  I fell in love with her in 1992. Old Army send me to Fort Ord, California after the Gulf war. The Pacific stole my heart for the second time.

I found the last bar on the pier in Monterey. I found my Hemingway chair and I ordered a whiskey and a beer for Ernest. I wished I had talked with the great man and the writer. I wondered what was his last words, his first words.

I could hear Hemingway speak. We must live, we must die. He, who wasted life, he will taste great sadness when death come knocking at his door.

Hemingway bled red blood like me, he learned war, women, drinking and how…

I called beautiful Brigitte at 3 am and I awoke her up in Böblingen in the early Fall of 1981, Germany. She answered with a gentle and sweet voice. Hello dearest Johnnie. Are you remembering me tonight? I told her. I was reading your letters tonight and I need you near. Do you miss me, like I miss you?
Brigitte held silence for a minute and she whispered. Come back to me in Germany. I have a apartment near the lake in Böblingen. I have a large bathtub and I need you to wash my hair and read poetry to me. The tub is large and you can join me now. The great ocean isn’t what is separating us. You must be brave, cross the sea and I would keep you warm and safe.
I told her. You saved me so often and I owe…

The cursed lullaby….

johncoyote

The cursed lullaby…

Once love was so damn sweet, we had the long nights and the sweetest kisses.

You were my Beatrice and I was your willing Dante.

Willing to pay the price to touch sweet and tender skin, to make you smile.

I told you often. I want to love you like there is no tomorrow,

I want to love you like we are the only people left.

I want us to divulge each other till we can’t no-more.

Love me once, love me twice, please love me three times.

Make me know softness, make me know hardness,

Allow me to live and die in your eyes.

The cursed lullaby we know.

You and I.

Water and earth.

Need great storms for us to create tale and to know the sweetest kiss.

Old Poet recite to the dying moon.

Love be sweet, love be damned.

I remember you.   …

When The Summer Sun Above

Frank Solanki

When the summer sun above
Warned us of a fleeting love
With skin burnt and soul wearied
A fire in my heart I carried
I loved you then

Now a tree has shed her leaves
Instead of tears; she quietly grieves
Some things are meant to be broken
I stand here and watch her unspoken
I love you now

Soon the clouds will turn dark
No more there’ll be a singing lark
When the winter winds come blowin’
I’ll smile at the icy snow well knowin’
I’ll still love you

I loved you then
I love you now
I’ll love you later
I love you for now and for ever
