Contentment Personified thanks to the Drugs by Jayme L HelmickHm, contentment
a pricey word that
coats my tongue
tastes bitter on some days
Today it is manna
I wait for his call
his touch
his kiss so sweet
I feel good in his arms
Content
But his heart is not mine
And I cling to hope
prayers
hope
What is this monster that rages in me?
Love?
I think
I thought
Lord God, cover him
cover me
cover her
and her
True Apothecary,
the drugs are quick
And I will rest
on my desk
in my cave
and pray
for peace.
