The Poetry of Primadonna Angela

Primadonna Angela


You Were Here

You were here, I still can feel
your warm presence
Pictures of you, things that you gave,
things that you touched

They lack one thing and it is you.
You were here, the rose that you praised
still stands morosely in a vase
I rummage the cupboard and find
your favorites
Coffee, sugar, odds and ends

The whistling kettle screams your name
The one who love hot, really hot coffee
How I miss stirring the cup
and present it to you

How I miss your simple words
You were here but it's not enough

I want us together again
When we're together
even breathing can be fun.
