autumn morning

Fernand Léger, Breakfast, 1921
join Magpie Tales
do you dream
as I do
of love sudden and shocking
eliciting
the chatter of teacups
feverishly thrusting
into heated debate

can you find a moment
as you brush by
me and onto your routine
to take me,
breathless,
to the beautiful
we once knew

    1. yes. it is sad. I don't know why I went in that direction but that's where I was led to create this. Gotta follow the muse. :) And yeah, they have to talk. It's been a while.

  3. Life is all about breathlessness and rattling teacups! I love the sense of longing you've created through your words, Rene. Thanks for sharing. =D

  4. I sense the complacency of lovers, forgetting but not forgetting the sparks of beginning, now dampened by time and routine...wonder if the other will come to this realization before it's too late?

  6. Sitting across from each other, at the morning table, and feverishly wondering where things went wrong...

    1. It's not so much the wrongness as it is that maybe things were too right, too comfortable which led to complacency and making do. I guess :)

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
