Dear Autumn Christine

Just words

                    Dear Autumn Christine

I remember when I saw you standing alone and I went to you.
I told you. You are so damn beautiful. Please talk to me.

You laughed at my words and you asked me. Are you using trickery dear Johnnie?
I don't feel beautiful.

I whispered. Dear Autumn Christine. You have laughter and the eyes of a angel.
You made me wish to know you.
For us to dance and talk.
I want some gin and juice, slow dances and long kisses.
I want hot coffee and to see you at six am.
Without make-up and with real face.

Your eyes goes serious and you asked.
No-one know what I saw and done.
I'm like leftover wine.
Bitter and accepting alone.

Dear Autumn Christine. You are so damn beautiful to me.
All of us carry scars and regret.
I see the sadness in your eyes and I see the hunger in your eyes.

We are silhouettes waiting for someone to excite our mind, to excite our body.
I want to walk with you. My hand and your hand connected. One in the view of life, hope and chance.

Pretty Autumn Christine. Let's trick the gods.
Make them see two people seeking love and joy.
showing the world.
Love is sweet and kind.

Dear Autumn Christine.
You are so damn beautiful to me.

Just words but I see the lines of her beautiful face the one I cannot erase from my minds eyes. A beautiful face that would make me smile for quit awhile. Seemingly so I would hold this one close wanting to never let her go. You write divinely of her Johnny in such a way I want to have her next to me and keep her this way. A smile and a wink away you will find me crawling at her feet. For now this is complete.

You are right. You and I know. Beautiful face don't mean kind heart. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

"We are silhouettes waiting for someone to excite our mind, to excite our body.

Man, you are blowing romance out of the waters of confusion and mayhem. You words carry weight and depth of feelings.

Another beautiful and soul filled piece. You really empty your heart into your words, often more than "just words".

I found the epithet, "Autumn Christine" to be so appropriate with the themes you introduced as the piece progressed.

"All of us carry scars and regret"

Like autumn, "so damn beautiful" but beneath the radiant colorful veneer is the scar of winter coming. We all carry those scars, as you point out in your powerful poetry. Love comes in the acceptance of those scars, shortcomings, and imperfections. This is a theme in your poetry that I've noticed a few times and it's wonderful. It is a powerful sentiment.

"Let's trick the gods.
Make them see two people seeking love and joy"

This part I also loved. Don't let fate, or the gods, or any sort of higher power control the outcome of our lives, "trick" them, throw those scars back in their faces and find joy and love despite everything.

Another very moving piece Coyote, thank you for sharing it! I also thought the songs you attached matched the mood of the poetry really well.
