Bath

I turn the silvery nozzle, Let the water fill the tub, Slowly slipping in, Letting the steam rise above They say a hot bath cures all, It relieves stress and pain, As it washes over those who are tired, drained, My physique is feeling fine, But lately it's my mind that's been aching, Doubts and frustrations, Sweet apparitions that bear no fruits, Fill my brain like a silencing mute Sinking in, I let the bubbles sway and pop, The refreshing dampness takes its course, I try to relax and close my eyes, While both the heat and darkness arise But I struggle and cannot remain still, As the gallons pour, I reopen my eyes and realize, That no amount of physical remedies, Will ever take these thoughts of you away No matter to which waters I may seek, The sultry seas of the Mediterranean, Or the holy healing powers of the Lourdes, It presents no issue, For there is no cure to wash astray, Images of my dear in these upcoming days
