MONEY -HAPPINESS?
What’s money?
Is it just a way of happiness?
Sunny streaks rouse resting eyes to Mother’s Day
Showy songbird flutters over window to serenade
She dresses in a new,
trendy short dress,
Even if it causes her younger self distress.
Two flights down at fourth
And tenth, I enter the warped
Wooden doors, losing
Sammy “Too Smart” curses the nine ball
That rattles in the corner pocket but
Doesn’t fall.
I step into the favourite part of my day, coffee time! Black, no sugar, wake-me-up sips swirling into my tired mind
In secret, hearts beat as one,
Longing to be together, under the sun.
Will you catch my tears when they fall?
Capture a trapped memory, leaking
She tended to his wounds with gentle care,
A love so strong, yet forbidden to share.
