Warning Note (Fiction)

narrative verse

Warning note.

 

Condemned to wander endlessly

 through labyrinths within my mind

To seek solutions I can’t find.

This has to be insanity.

 

I found myself quite suddenly

 unable to communicate.

I’m deaf and dumb and I can’t see.

Perhaps a vegetative state.

 

Eventually I fall asleep

 the struggle has exhausted me

Whilst I’m asleep the drugs will seep

 away slowly releasing me.

 

When I come to you’re by my side.

Your face the first thing that I see.

Then I am truly satisfied

 I’ll make a full recovery.

 

I have survived a heart attack.

Because you would not let me die.

It was your love that drew me back.

You smile at me triumphantly.

 

The doctors claim they saved my life

 let them enjoy their victory

 Because I know it was my wife

 unfailingly supporting me.

 

Although the medics did their best

 and they performed the surgery.

Heaven answered her request

and I survived as you can see.

 

I’ll have to take things easily

I have decided to retire.

We are secure financially

Stress is the last thing I require.

 

My wife agrees but cautions me

 I must take up new interests

I can acquire gradually

 I will obey, my wife knows best.
