Chapters

You can’t
Honestly say you love me
When you don’t love yourself
Look in the mirror
Embrace that beautiful woman

Even though
This may give you
A new sense of confidence
Making you want to
Spread your wings and fly away

Go pretty bird
Though you may not come back to me
I still sit here with a smile on my face
Thinking about the chapter in your life
That was mine

Breakfast In Bed

Wake up
To the sunlight
Today is unlike
Others because I can
Sleep in

Breakfast time
I gently sip
My caramel milk espresso
Savoring the taste
It tastes especially good today

Sliced strawberries
Their extra juicy
This time of year

Piping hot
Peaches and cream oatmeal
I lick a little off my finger
Then plow my face into the bowl
Sticky all around my mouth
Then….
I take my spoon
And stir it around
Then dip in and out of the bowl
Who would’ve thought
Breakfast in bed
Would be this good
