Dear Joe

Summary:
An oldie... but it's still an everyday love affair

I love you, dear Joe —

 Your expectations are low,

  as they need to be at my awaking.

You never hurl questions

 or even suggestions

  that cheerfulness I should be faking.

You have no demands –

 you just warm my hands

  and straighten the neurons all jumbled,

Help me tune out the noise,

 steam the rust off my voice

  ‘til it’s more than just grunts and mumbles.

You clear out the fog

 and the haze and the smog;

  you patiently nudge the undead.

Your gentle aroma

 brings me out of the coma

  that urges me back towards bed.

My morning-time friend,

 this need knows no end –

  you can call it addiction or crutch;

It’s more pleasant for all

 if I just heed your call —

  Oh Joe, I love you so much!

    1. Chère KJ.,
      Ahhhh…. I’ve been waiting for this one.
      And it was worth the wait.

      Subtle, loving, in short very very human. May your love always stay this way.

      Love it to bits this poem of yours.
      Warm regards, Gus a.k.a. The shoegazer, a.k.a. The Amsterdam Fanclub
