In response to Jon


You only came to me this morning

You only came to me this morning,
When the coffee was hot.
To offer up a silent warning
of what we are not...
After all these years of warming
up to your heart,
After all these years of gaining
some footing to start
A kind of relationship brewing
between our hearts,
Just when I started thinking,
Now the iron was hot
To strike and start moulding
you closer to my heart,
Just when I thought smooth sailing
Is beginning to start,
You come up with a silent warning
of what we are not,
And say it, all the while smiling,
Let's begin from the start!
And I knew things are beginning
between us to thwart...

Oh this is an excellent excellent poem !!! How words can hurt - especially if they are said the wrong way at the wrong time How painful it is to be at two very different stations in life but still trying to make the same journey....I love your poem Excellent!!!

the promise of unspoken dreams are often wilted by the silence of a heart or a loved one as the lady says

A silent warning can sometimes be enough to cause beautiful promises to wither...
Great job Zoya!
