Delicate flower

Delicate flower

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
"

Some people and places are perfect. They are delicate flowers and perfect places.

"
                                Delicate flower

I was a wore and torn man, receded into the whiskey bottles and the dead-end dreams. I sang lullabies of thing lost and could not be found no-more.

A delicate and fragile woman told me. What eludes our hands and fingers. What we denied ourselves are the misfortune of a foolish man.

The existence of love and happiness are the corridors we must cross and bare. We must break the shackles of old disappointment and sadness.

She was a radiating beauty. Her eyes of ocean blues and she moved like a trained dancer knowing her places and words.
 
She took me to the Monterey Bay and she made me dump my whiskey and sad songs into the sand. We drank strong coffee and laughs at the strifes and the torment of life.  My delicate flower made my sad heart vanish and we danced on the quiet Winter beach of Monterey.

Today I dream of wildflowers and beautiful sunsets. I remember the Pacific ocean and my delicate flower.
                                 Coyote/John Castellenas

All what's necessary to save a person is one delicate flower. But sometimes we have to be taken by the hand to notice these beautiful things, to learn again to look at things the right way. It's not easy but it's always worth while trying. Beautiful proze poem, John.
Merry Christmas. :) Rudi

Thank you Broken Wings for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.
Remembering the good times can sometimes be the substitute for a good hug when we thing such times have wilted away but we must have a winter if we had a spring, and if we have a winter we must definitely have a spring. We must have the old before we can have the new and the new must eventually fade so that we always have it as a surprise when it comes again. Great poem.

Thank you Zahra. I appreciate the positive comment.
This is gorgeous :) At the same time happy and sad. The last line was especially intriguing because it made me wonder what happened to the woman - if this was just one of those brief, wonderful chance meetings or something even better. Wonderful job!!!
