In the morning when I wake,
Oft times before the Sun can break
From the lengthy winter night
I walk the rooms without light
Amidst the shadows that are barely there
Through the windows that the cold streets share.
I don’t really need to see
To fix my morning coffee,
A flip of a button
And it’s begun.
So I sit in the chair and wait
With visions sleeping couldn’t sate
Rolling through my mind
Before the day’s reality can blind
With actions and emotions brought
Then those dreams will be forgot.
The coffee’s done
And dreaming is done
With a careful sip
Across a lonely lip.

Thank you, Ice,
High praise indeed,
The great Baltimore Poet was Poe.
I posted a rewrite more in his style.

Thank you, LeeJ,
Pleased you enjoyed, your response warmed me

Thank you, Copperbell,
Glad you enjoyed,
Things have been busy of late
With change of careers and some travel
Finding little time to write
And I apologize for my lack of responses of late.
