December Collage Poem: Disappointment - Part 1

entry picture

The difference is disappointment

drowning in a child's mouth

 

Ladies for tea please leave

that tasty last cake for me!

 

Brought back to life,

but find nothing but silent blackness

 

A smile, a nod, generosity and warmth

I haven't been disappointed

 

The Beatles all white album

on a railway platform

summer is in their eyes

too full of chocolate and inspiration

 

Evil life or saintly death?

This everyday drinker shown
has the hangover of
christmas and new year
no one must suffer!

Eyes of summer love
chocolate smiles and warmth
watching drowning in disappointment
the train of destiny
has plans for you
your time will come.
