Coffee, Tears And Me

Coffee, Tears And Me

Most people wake up with this on their minds, the morning coffee soon to brew;

But when I awake I have tears on my cheeks, the ones I have cried for you!

The coffee perks and fills their nose, with sweet aromas of its beans;

My olfactory bulbs have long since demised; sweet smells I have not the means!

They savor every sip that they take, caffeine, cream with sugar too;

For me the sweetness left my life, for it was always the honey that was you!

They pour another cup to drink, then possibly take some more;

But we were only given one go round, before the cup emptied evermore!

A lot of them then go to work, and have several more that day;

While nothing gives me a caffeine high, since the night that you went away!

After dinner possibly an espresso drink, to complete their trilogy;

But sadly, I have no choice I can make; I taste only the teardrops from me!

My Dear Poetic Brother,

It is amazing that since joining the Cosmo family and reading the sweet poetry by great artists such as you, that my olfactory bulbs have begun to regenerate.  Thank you kind sir for all you have done for me.

Peace, Love and Rockets,

A superb piece Larry my darling,

I`m extremely proud of my Larry. It`s stunning, well written, and a beautifully conceived piece sweetie. I feel that life has stood still for me also, and abandoned my piece of the world since Andrew went home, and everyone around me are continuing without me! This really showcases your wonderful talent my darling, well done.

I love you both deeply

Hi our dear G,

Life has started to move again because we have met one of the most beautiful people in the world.  The three of us will always ride the stars together.

All our love,

You`ve now both given me reason to get out of bed in the morning! Without your support I would be very lost indeed my Larry and heartbroken too.

I love you both to the stars and back

Hi dear Debs,

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.  I was afraid that people would not give a "hill of beans" about it.

Hugs, Peace and Love,
