Poetry for dear Cheryl..

Trying to awake my sleeping mind.

Poetry for dear Cheryl..

1- We were leftover people and we became so damn lost.

We sought each other to seek and know comfort and

we didn’t know. We forgot kindness, we became ghost in a ugly world.

Now I drink alone, now I seek silence nights.

Now I dance alone and I remember you.

Our last words you spoke to me.

Only whiskey had not broke my heart, love had killed my soul.

I pray dear Cheryl.

You a found a better place.

2- One more glass of beer, one more shot of whiskey, we were.

We would hide in dark motels and

try to use up everything we had left.

I told her. Maybe we need silence, maybe we need more kisses?

I remember her glances of hello, I remember her glances of

demanding kisses. I wonder did I try to see her sadness?

Dear Cheryl, you taught me to want more.

You taught me to swim in delight and you taught me.

Life isn’t kind to us.

Dancing Coyote

Very emotional and sad …. Relationships are difficult as you allude to this… it takes so much work, to make things right all the time…. Even when love is thick.. stuck together a beautiful tribute John, and I love the music as well
Warmly, B🌷

this is a sad and moody song. yet your way of telling is both personal and universal. many have loved and lost like this. many have sufferred as you do. yet your sufferring is entirely yours. beer, shots of whiskey, dark motels... only you knew how they tasted, what that looked like. the way you subtly weaved these images into a story oft told was very intimate. the final line really resonated too. it was a well-crafted piece.

Cuts like a knife, I believe Bryan Adams refrained. One side so smooth and shiny and the other sharp. A beautiful and wistful telling, Coyote.

[Lydia Shutter]

When two people have lost those they love, finding solace in each other's arms is often a solution. Still, it is almost impossible to fill the emptiness left. So emotional and honest, John. Good write. Lydi**
