Dreaming of Scotland
My Scottish beauty.
Dreaming of Scotland
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
For a sweet woman. I won’t forget.
Dreaming of Scotland
She was as pretty as a picture.
Fate had brought her to me at a dark tavern.
Fate had brought her to me at a dark tavern.
Her raging brown eyes.
Auburn hair across gentle and soft shoulders.
Her fragrance of flowers open my senses to her beauty.
Auburn hair across gentle and soft shoulders.
Her fragrance of flowers open my senses to her beauty.
Her Scottish accent made me wish to hear her sweet voice.
I was told to be kind to her.
Love was dead to me.
I was infected with rage and hate. I tried to escape her beautiful face.
Love was dead to me.
I was infected with rage and hate. I tried to escape her beautiful face.
Drinking and trying to blind my hunger.
She found me at the tavern.
She found me at the tavern.
She wrapped her arms around me.
Kissed my neck, face and lips.
She whispered “Love is a powerful storm.
Please don’t speak and allow us to love. “
Kissed my neck, face and lips.
She whispered “Love is a powerful storm.
Please don’t speak and allow us to love. “
In the mist of softness and opening new doors to joy and bliss.
Sometime you forget to create a safety net to protect yourself
and your sweet love.A warm German summer allow two people to fall into the mercy
of a sweet love. Swim in the gifts young heart can understand .Summer was ending.
My Scotland beauty was going home.She told me of Scotland.
The beauty of the country and the good people.
Sometime you forget to create a safety net to protect yourself
and your sweet love.A warm German summer allow two people to fall into the mercy
of a sweet love. Swim in the gifts young heart can understand .Summer was ending.
My Scotland beauty was going home.She told me of Scotland.
The beauty of the country and the good people.
I told her.
I wanted her forever.
I talked of marriage.
Love took my hand.
She whispered.
“We had a short time to stay together.
I allow you into my heart. Sometime words don’t mean a lot.
Love never does die. It only falls asleep till we can open the
door again.”
She went home.
I got lost in the booze and liquor.
Allowed the deserved load of pain to overtake my kindness.
I still went to the small lake.
And I dream of Scotland.

Hi from Toulouse, France! wonderful lines, John… why forget?! Some people will always be present in our hearts in spite of their physical absence… I visited Scotland several years ago, went till Isle of Skye, loved those spots very much…

Thanx for your constant stop-overs @our international playground, my very best and have a great weekend! Friendly greetings & tons of inspiration!
Thank you Melonie for stopping by. Europe is a wonderful place. Old cities have many stories to tell.
My pleasure, I do agree with you, John about our “old Europe”… All the white Americans for several generations have had their roots and origins here… One shoud always remember where he/she came from. Friendly greetings and thank you!
My Great Grandfather cam from Spain. I hold a good Spanish name. “Castellenas”. I roamed Europe for three years in 1977-1980 when I was station in Germany. Have fun and be safe..

John. I have not yet figured out how to message people here, so here, i will say thank you for your likes. Sonja
I don’t believe there is a way to message someone. With a reply. We do get it back in notification. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and words.
thanks x like your work
Heartfelt thanks for visiting Free Little Words and liking the post you read. You write of places I dream of visiting.
I was lucky. The Army send me to Germany at 18-21 years old. Good to travel when you are young and need less comfort. Thank you for the comment.
Germany is top of my list. I studied German through to University. Scotland is also high up there.
Best people and beer in the world in Germany. You would love the country.
Your verse is natural and lax but seethes with an enamored pursuit–brilliant!
On the matter, intimate interaction can abstract different messages. Even from the cooperative source of affection, relationships and love require some sort of pertinent attraction from each other.
Thank you Ziggy for the comment.
a sweet and sad poem
Some people who we shared time with. Are never forgotten. Thank you for the comment.

Reblogged this on Looking for reasoning to a complicated world and commented:
A blog did that spoke to my heart. I am Scottish and this story captured my imagination and brought memories flooding back of when I fell in love and memories of being a wee kid and watching my kids play in THAT EXACT same spot to this day. Brilliant blog…
Shaun
Portobello beach. I drove past that Yesterday. I had some wonderful memories as a child going there, and with my own kids now.
I LOVED your blog. And the story.
Scotland IS a beautiful place. I have family who have left and dream of her shores also.
Dream on, you never know
Shaun

Yes we can. Thank you for stopping by.
Hey..would you like to do a guest post on my blog? I recently started writing poems taking one alphabet as muse.. Would it interest you take an alphabet and write using it? I would love your composition on my blog..
I will try. I enjoyed your site. Give me a few days.
Sure.. Take a pick from alphabet M or N… With “M” you can write about Mother, Moon, meaning of something…anything with an inspiration which starts with alphabet M…
Let me know.
A wonderful poem of lost love which never was meant to be, some are beautiful memories to keep.
Thank you for reading and the comment. Old memories become better with time.

Some people are never forgotten. Thank you for the comment.
This one lives and breathes, John, like being drawn into a tempest, and not being sure how it will work out on the other side, or if one would stay caught in a tangle of time and moments.
Planning on visiting Scotland and Ireland in the next few years, along with visiting a brother in Spain, and a few other friends in a roundabout fashion to get there, will be some interesting ways to write about.
Scotland and Ireland are beautiful places. Try to travel the countryside. When I was young. Too much time in the pubs. Thank you for the comment.
