I dreamed of you

Words create by perfect art.

                          I dream of you

I remember Paris. You were in your perfect place and free. Your mind running wild in the beauty of the old city of Paris. The kind,  City of lights.

We became part of the midnight myths and we danced where Hemingway lived his books. We create our places with the ancient lovers finding dance and  song inviting hot and dangerous nights.

You told me. "I want lover's tryst and to have the vagabond heart. Love should be set in motion for us to be serenaded by sensuous kiss  and  wicked embrace seen by the Paris moon. I want us enraged with explosive lovemaking. Making the sleeping Gods come alive my Johnnie."

Exquisite beauty danced for me by the lights of the candles. The open windows allowed us to see the Paris lights. I watched her dance to the song of Leonard Cohen. "A thousand kisses deep."



I told her. You are a beauty to behold. A lucky man last dream and hope. I want you nude and free till the noon hour. I want us to find the places where lovers find the sequel of perfect embrace. Where touch of soft skin and  tender bodies reach their limits. Allow wanting lips and beautiful faces to become a permanent tattoos upon heart and mind.

Beautiful lady came to me. She fell to the floor and she embraced my waist. She looked up and her hazel eyes stole my thoughts. She whispered. "This is Paris. We are young  and life is in the front of us. Let's trick the Gods of work, till we find death and the men who send soldiers to war. We need to make our time of youth a parable of two people who knew love and kiss. Didn't want to know the ending, only the beginning. Allow the night to teach us to know the feel of skin against skin. Dancing the tango in open bars and holding love as life. Life as love."

I brought my love near and I whispered. I agree.

Another well-expressed poem of love! You do a better job of conveying loving experiences than most poets. I love the way memories & senses are all woven together, details about the city, the beloved, the remembered sensory observations, etc. You bring your reader right thru the experience, almost like being a bug on the wall. Your writing inspires other writers to want to be as intensely vivid

[Coyote Poetry]

Good to be vivid. Distance from place make the dance more wonderful? I told my kids. Travel, test life and have fun when you are young. These are the wealth of a good life.

[barleygirl]

Good advice to your kids . . .

Such an intimate stanza.

Beautiful work my friend.

Thank you for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

[Natasha]

I really enjoyed the last two lines and how it wrapped up this romantic story. Your sentences flow one after the other. I can definitely picture these two people in my head and how enraptured they are with one another. The only constructive criticism would be to put the video clip underneath the poem as it distracts the reader a bit when reading.

Thank you Natasha. I appreciate the comment.

Those are some beautiful words. In this world of hate, that's just beauty. Well constructed words when told with feeling can really change how you're feeling in a given moment. You really told an amazing story that caught me up in it and made me want to know more about the people in it. That is quite magical in and of itself.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Athena for reading and the kind words. All of us need a Hemingway journey. Wild and free of rules.

[Athena writes]

The only rules worth following are to be true to oneself and not be a d*ck to others.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree Athena.

[Ken Simm.]

Distilled romance John. And we are all the better for some of that. Excellent work.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree and thank you Ken for reading.

[Paul Hunter]

Something about becoming a part of midnight myths just gets me. I am in love with this.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Ethan. I appreciate the comment.

You're writing is mesmerizing...

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Neytri. I appreciate the comment.

[Relic]

This could easily be a script for a movie Coyote. There is an excitement to the life in your words, a youth of spirit that spills into each line. Great story.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Redic. All of us need a Hemingway adventure or two.
