Complacency

Complacency

The visual evidence does not lie

There is no weeping and wailing

Perhaps there may be heaving of sighs

Don’t come to me later with hands wringing

Bemoaning what would or could have been

Most trouble is tricky and cloyingly clinging

Solutions come quickly when you open your eyes

Time is rapidly passing

Maintaining illusions might win the prize

But lies come home a-winging

The row is hard to hoe

It often sets heads to ringing

TOILM

TOILM

The crisp cold scent of morning,

As the steam rises from my mug.

My hands embracing

The one I love most.

No longer interested in coffee

My strength comes from somewhere new,

We rise and fall,

To the beat of our hearts,

Gently,

Then more rapidly,

Stars explode,

And a cup of coffee

Sits,

Cooling on a windowsill,

Forgotten
