Morning Love

mornings with you
my dear
so complete
the purr of grey cats
the odd calico
the books
the mac
the news
breakfast in bed
soft, warm embraces
last forever
promises of eternal love

The chores wait impatiently
the cats meow
hungry bellies
the clock beats
as if time is important
you get up
“morning chores” you say

I lie here
loving your memory
