Coffee, Brain in a cup

The first thing in the morning

Do not say a word

To me before my coffee

Has a chance to calm my nerves.

To get between me and that first cup

Is risking life and limb.

I'm not responsible for my actions

If it's still filled to the brim.

That first sip, hot and sweet

Flashes to my brain.

Sparking to all those neurons

The ones that keep me sane.

Now I can face the day

and the world is safe again

Until I feel that need

Pushing me again.

Keep it coming again and again.

An addiction I embrace.

I keep my brain in my cup.

So I'm not running in place.

Diamond

              No matter where life takes me,
              How much my troubles shake me,
              Your strength and love sustains me.
               You're my diamond in a life of coal.
               I'm your love and you are mine,
               Together till the end of time.
               You're my diamond in a life of coal.

               In the darkness, I look for your light.
               In the endless tunnel, I hear your cry
              " I'm here for you" and it calms my fright.
               Awake or sleeping, you're by my side.
               You're my diamond in a life of coal.
               I'm your love and you are mine,
               Together till the end of time.
               You're my diamond in a life of coal.

                A mist from the depth of my soul
                Tries to snuff out your love's glow.
                To get me to hang it up, my cards to fold.
                But I know your love's mine to have and hold.
                You're my diamond in a life of coal.
                I'm your love and you are mine,
                Together till the end of time.
                You're my diamond in a life of coal. 

                You helped me defeat that endless pain.
                I have joy in my life again.
                I know we're not just lovers, we are also friends.
                You're my diamond in a life of coal.
                I'm your love and you are mine,
                Together till the end of time.
                You're my diamond in a life of coal.


               
           

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted something here. I'm retired (sort of lol) and enjoying having more free time. Watch this space.
