checked on the bonsai
made tea
walked under the greens
said hello to ducks
read till my arms began to admire the sun too much
put away the book
thought about getting a cat
drank more tea
meandered about love
got lost in my own loneliness
until I remembered I’m a hermit
and solitude is my soul’s wish
relaxed into my teacup
came to the conclusion
that it would be welcome
this love thing
but then
who’d check on the bonsai
or feed the cat
A rich cup of tea
sits beside me
the teabag turning the water red
almost as if it can feel the pain in my arm
where the vampyre puntcured me like an old tyre
spawned bruises
memories
history
time
honey makes a difference
it sweetens the ache
allows me to dream
***
Deep in the moment
waking my thoughts
whilst removing thoughts
from my waking moments
I look out the window
and see she is doing the same
deep in the moment
busy creating
whilst removing moments
from my waking thoughts
I return to my moment
to find it has gone
I replace it with tea
