Stop Thief

Tomorrow will be here

any moment.

Tiptoeing

inchwise

into your life

A thief,

murderous

in the night.

Intent on nothing more

than the perishables

The fruit in the bowl

the paint on the 
walls,

the beds,

and the hearts

that lie sleeping within.

It's been a busy week for poetry, lovely meet-ups in places with lots of books, and many wonderful poets, you know who you are - and quite a few of you can be found here at the wonderful Tuesday Poem blog.  So of course, I've spent all night scrounging through all my work, and decided it needs, well more work - but I did find this little piece which is - I don't know what it is, but it's not completely terrible, at least I hope not.  Enjoy your week, people.
