"Sweet Coffee..."

"Sweet Coffee..."

A Poem by Chris
"

Its Tuesday... I could tell

"

"Sweet Coffee..."

 

A second's pause...

I've sweet coffee

- black and two-day-old,

multiple-heated dregs of foul-fraught

wistfulness

of tomorrows' memories-to-be.

 

Even the cup

shivers

as the contents sway

and circle

settle

and await...
me.

 

Sweet, sweet coffee -

it knows its place

in a world of need

a world foreseen

and unseen - seeming

lost and full

found and empty

wished and forgotten.

 

A second's pause

a breath - sweet, sweet coffee

held tight and close -

tight and closer...

as I listen to your whispers

on the morning-rise

of rain-swept whimpers

simpering by...

 

Sweet,

sweet coffee...
and not a wonder of the
whys.

I'm intrigued with the line,
"of tomorrows' memories-to-be"
This backdoor, implied-type way of showing the gear-like relationship of the past and future, is something that I'm naturally drawn to. I dont feel like I ever really learned about it, it just comes natural for me to say. I wonder if this is a thing all writers or just people all experience and think about.
You are insanely poetic, great write.

I really like this!
Coffee to me is just a comfort drink. I drink it in the morning after I get up, I drink decaf and I love iced coffee on the fly. Every time I feel the warm mug in my hands I get instantly soothed. Yes, sweet, sweet coffee...
Your flow is wonderful in this piece, too! And yes, the coffee knows its place well in today's society, even if just for the caffeine boost haha :)

If we listen, we will hear joy .. and be comforted by the chance to live and drink-in another day .. Deep down in the cup are sweet creamy smooth memories .. And when we smile , another memory is made ...
