Recently, while reviewing a poem by Pat Medlin, (titled: Here, try my glasses) I became motivated to write this one.

 

 
MOTIVATION
Wine & Music
 
the stereo on “random”
volume cranked to the max
a glass of favored wine
yet I still can’t quite relax
 
“rose colored glasses”
a second glass of wine
slowly becoming more mellowed
beginning gradually to unwind
 
to the “blues” feeling sad
mix in a little “country”
then turn up the volume
to smooth a road that’s bumpy
 
a quick roll in the grass
now clearly in the garden
call her on the phone
beg and plead her pardon.
    
a mistake once made
apologies extended
consequences remain
relationship now ended
 
“the stereo on “random”
volume cranked to the max
a glass of favored wine
yet I still can’t quite relax”

Thanks for this, and for directing attention to Pat's poem. Bandaids are necessary, come in all shapes and sizes, and though temporary as the wounds they cover, hurt is hurt and even looking at a scar can sting. Rose-colored glasses indeed. Good writing. ~~ Diana

As usual your rhyme, rhythm, and message all blend beautifully to convey strong emotions.
