If there is one thing that couldn’t
Be further from the truth,
Nothing in this life is free.
To do better in chase of sanity.
One of the greatest forms of currency,
In a world of chaos everything
Has a cost.
No matter the need or want,
Yet I am ever so appreciative.
To be housed, clothed & fed with working
Lights and water.
Stability, an antidepressant in a world
You wake up & do the same thing over
& over.
If there is one thing that couldn’t
Be further from the truth.
Nothing in this life is free, & I
Ever so appreciative.
I’d gladly pay weekly, biweekly,
even monthly.
I feel that much closer to liberation
Under the roof of your smile,
A sense of privacy unlike any other.
Your lips the doorbell to inner peace.
Your hands a meal to feed thousands
At a time.
Although nothing is free,
I am ever so appreciative that a smile
Doesn’t cost a thing.
I couldn’t think of a better representation,
A better place to be

Black cat on my lap
Give a kiss, give a laugh
Muffins while I knit my last

Black and white dog at my hip
Snoring while I take a sip
Coffee sweet upon my lip

Fiancé lying on the couch
Wondering what he thinks about
Reading book after book, no doubt

Boys safely tucked in bed
Kisses placed upon their head
Sleeping soundly, no'an ounce of dread

Simple, yet lost to so many...
Sorry, in a writy mood I guess...

Mother Nature has a way of
Inconveniencing
Us with her duty
While making us appreciative
Of her her beauty

Her vivid thighs, hips,
Her lissome buns.
     O Aphrodite!
