She is Enough

Day 20, dear reader, brings us a prompt of 'better late than never'. Once again, I wrote 3 poems on this prompt. One of them is a light-hearted view of my day at work, the 2nd is one that needs a lot of work, and the 3rd is the one I am sharing with you. Although it may not fit the spirit of the prompt, it really is better late than never. Please enjoy.

In this world that is pressed
for deadlines,
I seem to march
at my very own pace.


Sit back in comfort
my favorite café
providing a perfect setting
for creating a world
out of random words.


softly
gently


murmured voices
speak in a way
only a poet
will understand.


I will write my muse,
sharing myself with those
who care to listen.


as my hot coffee
cools down,
my thoughts turn
to the one I love.


She has never known
how enough she is,
for proper words
have always failed me.


And so I write
my words for her.


For when my time has come,
let it be said
'he finally told her,
better late than never'

  2. This could be about a woman, it could also be about the muse. The picture of you sitting quietly, writing, placing yourself outside hurried time really sticks.
