you are the colonel in my coffee

you are the colonel in my coffee

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


you are the colonel in my coffee

 

 

 

a soldier standing at your attention

 

your lips salute mine

and i become a private 

on weak kneed furlough

so "at ease"

 

i'm falling all over you.

What I thought this might be and what it ended up being were two totally different things. But anyone who becomes the most important thing in our coffee, must be something sweet.

Ok soldier either shape up or ship out! That's an order!

and with that order comes scrambled eggs, home fries and toast.

Regards,

Are you sure you're at ease. On weak kneed furlough. Brilliant. I'll be stealing that line off you.
