Poems from brookneyanne
Drowsily I lie entangled in my sheets
On the threshold of sleep’s comforting arms
Growing weary, when some horrid beasts
Suddenly...
I assumed the most dreadful part of losing you
Would be the moment I realized
You are no longer here
With that biting misery of separation...
Here comes the kitty cat
Pitter pat, pitter pat.
Searching for a willing hand
To pet and scratch his back
He squeezes through my doorway...
A playful conversation
Interrupted
By an unexpected call:
Hello?
I tense with panic
As the voice on the other end
Breathlessly exudes...
At times happiness
can be forsaken
Disregarded
as if it were an obscure memory
Smothered beneath the weight
of its more prevalent rivals...
