I have love for life now
I stuff life in my suitcase
I grab everything I can, still
Call the hoarders hotline, if they can save me
I love life now
I love what’s ugly and what makes their beauty shine
I love life now with its violence and the peace that surrenders all hearts
This is how I found my love, when I have nothing in common with you, this is when I love you the most
When I’m most impatient
It’s best when I nod my head
And I take my Angles baseball cap now
Meet me at the corner for Sushi in Chinatown
She’s tragically charming, my Los Angeles
When I hang my dress at the Solitude Cantina
And smell the brandy on your breath
I love life when you caress a cigar
I love the times you feel lucky
And try to be charming
You know that smile and wink
You’re sly and I love life right now
when you say that I don’t
Then I complain about the pain of
loving life and the indulgence of
regret and shame
I love life and I hope that you feel me
as you try to save me from loving life too much
I love how my beauty fades when you look closer, but you are rubbing my shoulder for “looking stunning”
Don’t cry it’s only goodbye as I’m leaving and staying in the center of the universe because when you love life you can live everywhere
It’s only because the insignificant can bring my loss feel complete again
I love life when I discover that you can’t make everything ok and my kisses can’t heal the suffering
I’ll still cry because I still love life
Only pain can sustain me to love life
It’s to trust I’ll still close my eyes and look away in my frailties but I’m alive to only love life
When I don’t love life, I hear music and then I love life back
I pick up the ashes from the rubbles then I’m grateful and generous and cook for us it’s only easy to love life when you stand under the California sun, as the shadows are the tattoos etched like home on your skin
Your pressured speech is melodic and divine only and that’s when I can only love life
I love life when I wash away our pain and make room for more brusin’
The moment I found beauty in the old and found the beautiful lovely and uninteresting I knew I loved life
j'adore l'hiver dans le jardin des Tuileries

Thank You Parisb
Very Sweet I Appreciate You My Friend
Someone appreciating life to the full, good and bad, a positive write which i enjoyed.
I appreciate the comment Poetic license
You are very welcome
To love something you must know it and to know it is to live it. A poem of life. Have lived much of that, even in California, so I feel it. Lovely
I’m glad you connected with this-thoughtful comments as always poet friend-
Jeez I just love it when you talk dirty and write just for me like that .. it has the feel of finality about it .. I hope I am wrong and there's many more coming my way .. Neville
I’m glad if this poem resonates even in its intimacy-It was just an exercise, so hopefully it won’t be my final one, dear Neville
good to hear .. 👍
Beautiful work. I'm glad that love has found you. Life can be grand.
Thanks for your attention and comment Thomas
Reading this with the fires in the background brings to the fore both urgency and edge 🙏🏻🕊
Thank you for noticing that connection to the recent crisis as of late-this must have been subliminal but I saw it after its completion-this could be my love letter to Los Angeles as well
Ah, time and its passing does leave some breadcrumb clues, guiding us ‘home’ just as with Hans en Grietje🙏🏻🕊
Another beautiful free association…
