Joy
A cup of coffee
from a white
porcelain mug
bitter blended
2 teaspoons of sugar
with a splash of milk
gently awakening
the senses
Hoping the day
is as good as
the first sip
Releasing
You are not
your thoughts
Breathe
release
Clear
the static
with love.
Coração
I love you
like
the amount of grains
in the sand
like
the amount of times
the waves
crash ashore
like
the oxygen
that trees produce
because my heart
feels so happy
when I’m
with
you.
Practicality
Do not
Water
barren lands
for bonds
that will dissolve
like sand.
Companion
My feline friend
says I love you
either with
a meow
a kiss
wanting a boop
grooming me too
walking together
like sidekicks
or gets into a
perfect purring position
on my chest
drifting off
to peaceful rest.
21st century scams
Social media lies
of manicured lives
watching
everyone’s highlight reel
versus
what’s real
Dawn’s serenity
Waking up
in love’s embrace
smiling at his
sleeping silhouette
joy circulating
through my body
