"Morning Coffee..." Poem

"Morning Coffee..."

 

Morning coffee

is about attitude

and certainty,

about sunrise colors

reflected in eyes

and existence

and breathing

and...

you -

and me

and its tomorrow,

the morning after

and I'm not remembering -

yesterday.

I'm living and sharing

tomorrow...

sharing now.

 

Morning coffee -

 

looks, growls...

tickles, irritations

touches

more touches

holding

 

eyes... eyes...

tasting

fingertips amusing heartbeats

and caught breaths

and eyes defining heat

in tongues that understand -

unspoken language,

inarticulate cries...

rising, rising waves of

all you didn't know

concieve

believe

 

but wished so hard

touched so far, so far

beyond

beYOND

the tear thats leaking

FALLING

 

falling so far

far down

down

flying

 

so free so far so far away

 

and

 

and

 

breathing again

 

breathing

 

again

 

a g a i n...

 

Morning coffee -

risk-taking...

being -

safe...

being taken in heat that melts

EVERYTHING

giving all there is

because

just because...

and its accepted... mirrored...

held, looking back into your eyes

and the pot is poised above your cup

and the first drop hasn't fallen yet...

 

Morning coffee -

you

me

now... right NOW...

Its how YOU FEEL

right now -

its your THOUGHTS

right now -

and you KNOW

I understand

and you know

with no doubt at all

how you feel

and what you want.

 

"Morning coffee

is the kiss I gave your soul

as life rose in the sky

and finally echoed

in the windows of your eyes."

"Morning Coffee"
Chris,
Beginning a new day and sharing a cup with someone you love. This poem of yours is like a story of love shared in miniature.
"Morning Coffee
is about certainty
and attitude
about sunrise colors
reflected in eyes"
The promise of commitment as two spend moments of time together and looking at each other:
"and it's accepted.. mirrored..
held, looking back into your eyes
and the pot is poised above your cup
and the first drop hasn't fallen yet..."
I could sense the unspoken communication between the two in this poem. Desires shared and understood, maybe even acted upon. So beautiful!
" Morning coffee is the kiss I gave your soul as life rose in the sky and finally echoed in the windows of your eyes.
The total impact of this full written poem is quite strong. I read it through four times. One of the times was from end to beginning. I loved it that way too. Very fun.
Blessings,
Kathy

I don't do mornings , and I am not much of coffee drinker, but I do 'Attitude' and accept the gifts of sharing ..

I have been wanting to read this piece and I am, now, glad that I finally took the time. You're not going to believe this, but addiction is so strong that I, actually, smelt coffee while reading. Heck, I'm staying up all night, anyway. LOL!! Great write!!!

You have given that morning jolt of joe a new meaning, or maybe the meaning that it always had. Favorited.

Such profound words, written with your natural flair of telling a story with many angles, views, beauty. Digging into the very meat of the soul
