a cup of caffeine

a stranger locks eyes with you over a coffee cup...mmmm...imagine the possibilities.

ordering a cup of caffeine

with just a squirt of vanilla

           a bit of sweetness never hurts

you smile a knowing smile

your inner voice

                      or is that inner vice? 

speaks to mine

i drink in your meaning

         long and slow

a voyeur might call it a “kodak moment”

but the smoking gun is hidden

deep in the folds of my imagination

you know I used to make around eight hundred cups of coffee a day ... I would always lock eyes with many a man and many a woman ... I would say perhaps ten percent of them would give a little back ... these were the people that knew the passion in life and the magic in the moment and the joy of connection ... what a lovely trip down memory lane ... you have captured the moment incredibly well x x

[Lydia Shutter]

So you were a barrista then? Interesting! Thank you for your review. Lydi**

[KWP]

yeah something like that x

[Mélania Woolf]

Simply amazing!
I always relate caffeine to feelings, the purest ! Caffeine is love,simple as that.
And this poem seems to draw it in a whole new way,a very beautiful one, right inside 'the folds of imagination' ...
Loved it!

I instantly loved the intimacy of these lines, but coming from the other side of the pond, I confess I had to google 'kodak moment', and when I did, wow! It made the poem all the more delightful.

Beccy, I think even those from this side of the pond will not know that reference unless they are over the age of 40! Thank you so much. Lydi**

this kodak moment is slightly "R" Rated i believe...but the slide is quite clear if you hold it up to the light of attraction.

[redzone]

[Lydia Shutter]

Laughing uncontrollably here this morning! The two of you are too much. This Joisey goil is going to drink her morning cawfee now. We can tawk latah! :)

Good idea Lydi, drinking my coffee now, but thinking that we should let Frieda get her beauty rest, especially after she said she had no wotds or syllables left last night. HA!! I'm in real trouble now aren't i Lydi ... getting another cup of that cawfee ... ;0)

[Lydia Shutter]

Trouble with a capital T and the rhymes with B and that can be what joisey goils are before their cawfee! LOL

Great ending. I love caffeine. It keeps me sane, so to speak.

Hey, sanity is so relative! :) Thanks, my friend. Lydi**
