The last tear..
This old coffee pot
needs cleaning but I
guess it can wait til
tomorrow
The weeds have grown
up around the house
and the bank won't let
me borrow
You're the last tear
shed in my weary heart
and has long since
dried
All that's left is this
old man whose youthful
years have died
It's not good to live alone
taunted by so many regrets
An apology to the Almighty
for renigging on my debts
Still, a memory of you slips
into my day and I toy with
some truth or lie
But that kiss from you can
never deny you're the last
tear I ever cried~

Still, a memory of you slips into my day and I toy with some truth or lie... A very moving write.
But of course one way or another it has to surface out from your heart.
I am so happy for you and that tear gives you the pleasure of grieving then so be it. I pray soon it will be joy and laughter.
With love

Wow! Seems like a million years ago since I wrote this.
I remember it now, and I think what makes this poem
connect is that the physical environment matches
the sentiments expressed in being tired and worn out.
'This old coffee pot, the 'weeds have grown up, 'the
bank won't let me borrow.' Everything is tired, old and
run down waiting to fade away just like the old man.
Thank you for finding this one too.
Cafe
You've come a long way in 5 years - lots of poet friends stateside and across the pond. Everyone loves Cafe and especially his Castle parties (don't forget the herbal tea). However, we need to have a talk about this bamboo cage business!
