Warning Note Story Poem Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

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.
