Love Is Never Late

CATEGORY

love
greets you at the airport with a limousine
complete with wet bar and cable television
because the last bus for home
left three hours ago...
your bags are placed in the trunk
and love leans over
smiles
and tells you to enjoy the ride...
 
love is never late...
 
the stack of work on your desk
which has completely eclipsed your 'in' box
continues to escalate higher than the national deficit...
the latest company memo tells you
that your salary is being slashed
because of
'cost containment'
while your landlord tells you
that your rent must increase for the same reason...
but then
love gives you the six numbers you need
as you give up the last dollar you have to the lottery agent...
 
love is never late...
 
you came home
and found that the house was bare
except for the clothes
hanging on the bar in your side of the closet...
all that she has left you
are the memories of the moments that you had shared
for the past ten years...
but love gives you a good night sleep
and the strength to carry on
when the morning light gently awakens you...
love will convict her
and stalk her like a vulture
until every face she sees possesses your image...
 
...it is her soft voice you hear on the line early one morning...
 
love is never late...
