Jo Bien Poet Verse

I Do Believe

I watched it all go up in smoke
the fire kindled with the words you spoke
written for the world to see
blowing through the leafless trees
nothing of it came to be

wrapped in velvet and put away
with the news from yesterday
thoughts that reappear as dreams
spilling from my memories seams
in my sleep a soundless scream

the clock ticks away the midnight hour
sleep falls away in my morning shower
I send it back where it belongs
that part of you that is long gone
while dark clouds wait for the dawn
 
morning coffee tastes the same
some grounds in the bottom remain
a taste that now is bittersweet
those mornings that you shared it with me
my imagination I do believe
