Just when life is dreary and its luster gone
The annoying door bell chimes too long
As I hesitantly budge to the entrance frustrated,
The creased linen and the daylong saltiness
A crumpled shirt and a disappointingly done tie
A flashing smile glowing through all fatigue
Compassionately held in those brown hands
‘An unexpected bouquet of roadside flowers’
A token of my remembrance in spite of all toil.
While the revitalizing caffeine boils in the kettle
Rested carelessly, I amuse myself with the short curls
The dullest episode on TV keeps playing uncared
The kettle sounds a must-be-stopped alarm
As I stir forward to sprint to the kitchen
A warm sweaty hand encircles mine
An assisting glance scans my face wanting to help
Turning down the offer, I slowly pour
Into the porcelain mugs, the steaming brew
Sipping into the hot coffee in silence
I sloppily lie down on the soft couch
Watching the channels being scanned swiftly
And it stops with one prominent sports channel
Telecasting for the tenth time an old football game
Still so remarkable and so vibrantly attention grabbing
The still air vibrates with energy and hi-fives tag along
Dinnertime long elapsed the ‘Oooh’s continue
Slumber overrides and my eyes close with a smile
After a final peek at the withering flowers
Praying for the dream to continue..
