An Earl Grey Day
Absent Love - Blank Verse

This item accepts reviews only.
                                       A black teacup filled with Earl Grey
                                       and smoking under a gray sky
                                       while thinking on my balcony.
                                       The black and gray reflecting back
                                       on a day that had slipped away.
                                       Tumbled by time and way off track
                                       and thinking through torturous thoughts,
                                       looking behind- back in my mind.

                                       The air floats with a spicy scent,
                                       whiffs of clouds wisp upon the breeze
                                       stirring the freeze within my mind,
                                       knowing the change is for all time.
                                       Earl Grey triggering the dark trip
                                       through a mind trying to forget.
                                       Spartan choices made within pain
                                       of that, which life just had to claim.

                                       Trial o’ trial and more yet to come
                                       realizing it’s never done.
                                       Shredded and bagged like the Earl Grey
                                       left to float in life without hope.
                                       Hung by a string in scalding hot,
                                       knowing that life has forgot
                                       to remove the pain from the cup--
                                       remembering-remembering.

                                       Steeped within that which will not quit
                                       dripping with the drops of the lost
                                       memories that came with such cost
                                       and trying to find the right place
                                       where time will erase all the trace
                                       of the grief that is dripping wet.
                                       On my balcony smoking death,
                                       seeking the last breath of past times.
