Bowl of Fruit

Your face
Turns dark
A shadow on the wall
Hides from view

I miss the sight
Of love
The scent of morning dew

Dust fills the room
Paintings hang
Upside down

Fruit sits quietly
In a bowl
Waiting…

To be eaten

Patricia - I'll take a pear - I guess I'm just in a mushy mood today because these poems are sure bringing out the emotions in me - God Bless
