So wonderful,
oh how we meet,
one cup of coffee at a time
sitting on the seat
with little reason or rhyme
in the corner of the cafe
as you order a latte
can life be so bittersweet
or would I know
the subtle hunger of lust
as I sip my espresso
No I think, should I trust
in a flavor so robust
an aroma, so complete
as strangers, […]
If you could dream, slowly
Could you touch me?
If you could taste,
Could you satisfy yourself?
If you could dare hold on
Would you?
If you could take me, anywhere
Would you carry me with you?
If you can say yes,
If you dare to believe
If you can confess
If you care to be with me
Close your eyes, fall into your desire
Touch me slowly,
Dare […]
I dreamt of waking
Trying to lure myself from fruitless ambition
To taste the wine as it caressed my lips
Breathing the nectar of life I had forgotten
But it was pretty pointless
I set my coffee on my desk
As I had done a thousand times before
and my eyes wandered out of my window
From my vantage, this sleek castle of […]
I thought for a brief moment
about the taste on my lips, the lingering memory
of such tense emotions glancing off my most tender smile
I sigh, trying to breathe in the luscious aroma
as each second stretches into a thought of simple perfection
and my mind becomes lost in the innocence of my desire
The devil I think
could make only […]
I never meant to say anything
except the things I meant to say
the words that came from my lips
compared nothing to those felt in my heart
The rain would fall
and I say a name gently
it makes me feel comforted
by a love that never faded
The clouds part
as day fades to night
a crimson light ignites a memory
and my soul […]
Those subtle thoughts
the little words
Smiling
Laughing
Relaxing
Over coffee,
at your favorite little cafe
Remembering I’m not Irish
but some of us like our latte
Knowing
Feeling
Believing
Sharing some of those crazy dreams
sometimes drinking it dark
sometimes with cream
Thinking of all those meaningless things
that only you can remember I said
simple conversation is what to bring
Over coffee,
at your favorite little cafe
Remembering
Laughing
Believing
In little words
with heartfelt meaning
In subtle […]
Finding real beauty of outright simplicity and incomparable features.
Of charming flaws and details which can never go unnoticed.
Possessing subtle variations that are by themselves memorable.
Viewing simply makes you wonder if this is a figment of desire.
Chance occurrence that beauty such as this exist defies imagination.
It warms your soul and inspires you to gently caress […]
A few drips
Amazing what they do
Mixing with water
Something to brew
Bitter like life
Warmed with compassion
Best mixed with friendship
And simple conversation
Laughingly, I need more
Like most walls of a prison
This thing I so desperately want is behind the bar
Slightly out of reach
being served to me by someone who knows
how badly I want it
They know I cannot leave
That I have wants
and needs
that are eating away at who I am
They know they keep the answer to my desire
and […]
I could feel it
Smooth, warm
caressing my fingertips
enticing me to breathe
A sweet aroma
subtle, exotic
so full of flavor I could taste it
as if my heart was salvating for one sip
I yearned for it
like I would desire love
wanting it to touch my lips
as if it was an affair
Waiting for me to betray my hesitation
So I do
It moves me […]
