Ode to Coffee
A kiss on the lips from you
Wakes me from my slumber
Makes my eyes bright
Shakes me to life.
I want to drink you in
Embrace all of your warmth
Face meeting yours, smooth like silk
Chase every single drop
Even the scent of you
Wills me to move my tired limbs
Stills the whirring world for a moment
Fills me with courage to face the day.
Promise to always greet me in the morning
In the silence when nothing else stirs
In the violence of the chaos of hurry
When propense to long days and short nights.
