Coffee and Sweet Biscuits

I love classic movies...

art ~ Konstantin Razumov

 

~~

Breakfast at Tiffany’s still has a certain

je ne sais quoi…

 

 The coffee is warm

and the biscuits are sweet

and the tiny blossoms in the crystal vase flutter

as the breeze plays a quiet rendition

of the way we were

 

 I’m reminded

of love stories waltzing in timeless dreams

 

And though I never promised you a rose garden

the flowers bloomed

in scarlet red and passion pink

unfolding in your embrace

 

Splendor in the grass

on a summer day

scattering at your feet

on a moonstruck night

 

Only to stir again

on this quiet morning breeze

 

“Winter must be very cold

for those who have no memories to keep them warm

and we’ve already missed the spring…”

 

An affair to remember

 

when the coffee is warm

and the biscuits are sweet

No one quite as romantic as Holly Golightly when she has the "reds" instead fo the "blues". She knew people had to fall in love to find happiness....and so it shall ever be. Of course then there is my favorite quote of all time from "an Affair to Remember"....."winter must be cold for those with no warm memories." And you, my friend, obviously have wonderfully romantic memories or you would not be able to write such gorgeous love poems. This one is a bit poignant, but the beauty touches me. the classic movies were made way before you were born, but you feel them....and it shows. The artwork you chose to accompany this poem is pure perfection. Loved this. Lydi**

I think I was born at the wrong time Lydi. I can relate to these movies much more than the movies today. The romance, the tragedy, the tears...and then of course the happy ending....Thank you for supporting my poetry Lydi. I appreciate you and your friendship. :) Julie

I love the retro movies combined with the sweetness of this love poem!

My favorite line is:
"I’m reminded of love stories waltzing in timeless dreams"

This brings beautiful images into my mind - I see classic ballroom dancing across my vision - just like Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers!

Oh how very clever Julie. I love how you wove so many movie titles into this and I thoroughly enjoyed and captured your imagery without the picture here. That's the mark of a wonderful poet!

I am a sucker for vintage pop culture, and this one gripped me right from the start. And when you factor coffee into the equation, it's a slam dunk for me haha There is such a gentle beauty to this piece that borders on innocence. Perhaps it was simply a more innocent time you speak of here, when simple pleasures were all that were needed, and the best things in life truly were free. Love this one :)
