Whiskey

Some new words.

You…

I lived and died in your love. You were my sweetest nights and loneliness days. I would do it again, even knowing the ending.

-----------------------------------------------------------   

             Play me…

Your hands upon my wanting skin, gentle and soft, your touch make me come alive. You make me want to live and die in your arms. You are my salvation and you are my greatest sin. Please play me my dear love. I will sing a song of your beauty till my last breathe.

Whiskey….

I loved her hour glass figure and the way the jazz song make her hips move. I told her. Cecelia, Cecelia, my pretty. Take me with you. I will go anywhere with you. She smiled and she whispered. The Johnnie Walker whiskey is tasting good tonight and you can make me smile. You damn poets love the night shade and the comfort of the jazz songs. Maybe yes, maybe no? What do you need Johnnie? I told her. I don’t want everything, I want you near and sweet. I can’t promise you yesterday, I can promise you now, a dance and a kiss at midnight. Maybe Cecelia, we can find a safe place for us to wanderlust and enjoy the taste of the whiskey? She smiled and she took my hands and she looked into my eyes. She whispered. You are a brave man and you have captured my heart.

"I would do it again, even knowing the ending- Play me"

Yeah. The love becomes so blinding that anything to take away the pain of loneliness will do... and we will suffer later...when the outcomes bring reality...and the darkness sets in...at least we had such a beautiful attachment to hold on to, until we didn't any longer, and life felt like it was crumbling into pieces..

Loved this one. Thanks for sharing...

Thank you dear Marina. I believe we find what we need. Sometime we want what we shouldn't. I appreciate the comment.

my friend after reading this there is only one blend of whiskey i can think of, FIRE BALL. thank you for sharing the poem, maybe one day will share some Whiskey too. lol

I hope one day Mauricio. Fireball, too spicy for my stomach. Maybe a Irish or Scottish whiskey?

[Mauricio Montoya]

Johnnie Walker has great power. It can make a man who is normally silent, talk. It can make a hard man cry and it can also kick you in the head if you have had too much of it. Another great write Coyote from your pen.

Oh the fun that can come from spending a night with Whisky. Although I prefer one of my favorite men called Jack, whisky in all is something special, although I agree with one of the other comments. That Johnny Walker can sneak up on you. As always, I enjoy reading your work

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Hayllie for reading and the comment. Whiskey is the talking drink. Easy to drink and make us speak the truth, maybe?

[Poetic Beauty]

Whiskey makes you do so many things. Luckily for me it makes me happy and laugh. I don’t like the girlie foofoo drinks. While I don’t drink often like maybe a couple times a year I do enjoy Mr. Daniels or Crown when I do,

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello dear friend. Old man drink, the Crown Royal. Thank you for reading and the comment.

[Poetic Beauty]

Well I’m far from an old man lmao maybe in a past life 🤣🤣 I also enjoyed the short life bed romance in this poem. You always weave these stories with great care and detail!!

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Like they all say, I hope that isn't just the whiskey talking. :) seriously, I always enjoy reading your words and work. This was gentle and romantic. A toast to you...I'll have to settle for tea, however. Bless. F.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Fabian for reading and the comment my friend. I will drink a toast to you.

[Dave Brown]

[Coyote Poetry]
