Three In The Morning








Three In The Morning



I heard the clock chime as I rolled out of bed.



There's a catch in my back and an ache in my head.







The silvery light of the moon that I see,



Peeping through curtains seems to mock lonely me.







It's early.  Too early to rise for the day!



But I couldn't quite stand lying lonely that way.







Maybe I'll straighten a closet, or cook,



Work on a project, or read a good book.







Maybe I'll go back to bed where I'll sleep



After I write out the demons I keep.







Maybe I'll find that you're wide awake too,



Looking for me as I dream, Love, of you.







Life is too short to be wasting these minutes.



I don't like to think that you might not be in it.







I hear your soft moans from the room down the hall.



The pain gets so bad in your sleep then you call.







What in the world do I do for relief?



Three in the morning.  I sit here in grief.

Dear Jess





How many time have I not jumped out of bed at the same time, trying to make use of every living moment!
It is such a lovely poem! The picture is magnificent – once again arranged in the superb style of a true artist!
I say it again - this is what poetry is all about – the enchantment of poetry, music and a beautiful picture combined!

I masterful piece!

Greeting from afar

Jessica, what a touching poem! It is in the dark hours that pain and grief is so vivid – thanks for writing about the “demons” we all know so well. You have truly mastered the art to write about the everyday things – and yes, to present you poems so beautifully – wonderful picture and graphics!

Regards


Nicolette
