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

A cup of coffee

Hoping the day

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.
Waking up
in love’s embrace
smiling at his
sleeping silhouette
joy circulating
through my body
Love is like
a magic trick
best experienced
without
questioning
the how.
One day
I will no longer
clear the cobwebs
heal the hurts
negotiate with nerves
answer to my anxiety
One day
I will
master myself.
The purest love
I’ve known
has a wet nose
whiskers
gives head nudges
nibbles
and
sweet starts
to all my mornings.
Used Books’ pages
hold ideas
printed
and have
Imprints
of navigated thoughts
from the previous reader
Under the couch cushion
were two pens
laying
side by side
as if
they whispered
to each other
their ideas
all night.
Slowly starting
Saturday
with soulful sounds
sipping
Café Bustelo
and a side
of singing
His love
is smooth
like
the sun
dipping
into the
ocean
during a
sunset
