The Sober Seraph

The Sober Seraph I had been to my doctor is always a female I have no choice Said I was too heavy – her words- I had to slim down a bit Skipped lunch had soup in a café where everyone sat Starring at their I-Phones and didn`t see what I saw and angel Stopping a man from going into a bar I could see they were arguing the man took a step backwards The angel won the argument and disappeared, the man Came into the café and drank orange juice, his mien was dark, But then lightened up he was safe…for now He is one of the unfortunate for whom a glass of wine is one Too many and a bottle is not enough if he listen to what his The angle says, the inner voice of love, he should be safe.
