My sweet Peggy.

My sweet Peggy.

 She is sitting alone in the warm  Florida’s evenings.

 She is raw, sexy and like a wild cat in the tropics.

She is hungry, desperate and passionate.

Her dreams are confused, twisted and never fulfilled.

Her dreams got twisted,
goals got lost somewhere.
Her destiny took her to places that left her empty and alone.

    Loneliness, desire and reaching out too late.
    Left her stone cold today.

   She is hopeless, afraid and she is dreaming of love lost.
   Leaving her wishing to have held on to an old lover and friend.

   She called me on the phone.
   Asked me to stop by please.
   I stay with her for a month.
   I left her alone on an early January morning. Was hard to find kindness and love.
   When the highway is blocked by disappointment, drink and fear.

Time, age and wisdom is learned with pain and many tests.

    Love, forgiveness and sadness are all we have left.
