When I first started blogging I didn't think anyone would be in the slightest bit interested in my ramblings but here I am, still blogging and up to 1000 views. Ok so I know this isn't really that big a deal but it has made my day today. I almost feel that I should have written something special for this post but I am just too tired to come up with anything new tonight, a notebook special it will have to be!! (who knew working with books could be soooo tiring, I hope I get used to this soon, what is the use of having books at you fingertips if you can't stay awake to read them???)
This poem was inspired by a photo taken by...yeah you guessed it; Lee Johnson. Check it out here. It's strange how some images just lead to words forming in your head, that is what happened here, a poem with no links to real life from a photo where only a third is real.
The Cafe
Alone I sit two biscuits on the plate
Wondering what we'll discuss on our date
For such a long time I have been blue
Waiting to meet at our secret rendezvous
I hear the bell over the door, but dare not look up
A hand over mine wrapped around my cup
I look up to see the warmth of your smile
And wonder why I worried all the while
The smile in your eyes projects to my face
As you pull me into your warm embrace
We talk a while about music and art
Until the streets begin to get dark
Alas we must say goodbye to our cafe
I treasure these times, always happy
From within your arms I whisper 'miss you'
Counting the moments to our secret rendezvous.
PS Thanks to everyone who has stopped my to read what I write, you make me smile!!
Very nice. It reminded me of Michael Buble's song, "Me and Mrs. Jones".
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 1000 views. That's a milestone worth celebrating!
I love that I now have a picture, a poem and a song so beautifully linked and associated with each other, each person who contributed having a different perspective :-D
DeleteAnd thanks for being a regular visitor who always leaves such lovely comments, it means a lot!
Yes...I concur with Jewels! I loved the poem! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for visiting. I will be back over to you blog shortly to 'follow' you have a beautiful way with words yourself!!
DeleteYay for 1000 views! Very exciting, for sure. I love that you opened your blogger page at exactly 1000. Magical, no?
ReplyDeleteYour poem is lovely too -- I think it's amazing that the story flows so well, you don't even notice the rhyme. Or the undercurrent of rhythm adds umph to the little story. Or something else that I can't really put my finger on. But it's certainly magical too, no?
All very magical, made more so by a visit from you! Missing you in our little blogging corner, hope you are ok!
DeleteI am glad you like the poem, it kind of wrote it's self! Let me know if you ever put your finger on it, I always wondered what things look like after you have been struggling to find them to put your finger on them ;-)
