"Coffee...coffee... coffee... coffee..."

yeah - read on

I know you didn't EXPECT being heard - but, you were...
damn huh?

I said

"Coffee... coffee... coffee... coffee..."

and in your mind FLASHED an answer
- and a DARE -
and you just
had
to
be
"the special person you really are - but just don't see
within your own eyes..."

"Coffee... coffee... coffee... coffee..."

How do you handle -
being noticed?
I mean  that ONE time
THE one time - you felt you just
WANTED
to say - anything... because something inside you
NEEDED to be - free, be open, be heard
- if only in your own ears,
if ONLY just this once - one time -
one moment
you escaped your - self...
and damn
you really got noticed...

...now what?

That is the point
of no return
when the self hits
the cold floor
and dreams jolt
soar
upward
makes no difference
if we know where they go
but noticed...
is heard...
heard...
is
full

I've been that person, with things I've wanted to say locked up inside. No more...I am letting them out now.

Your title made me fall in love (lol I am addicted to coffee). I love the style of this it is sweet and fun.

[Scytheriax]

Agreed about the unique writing style.
When I saw the title of the poem, I was intrigued. I thought it was going to be a poem on t he wonders of coffee (something I would definitely agree with). But I was pleasantly surprised about what I did find.
I loved this poem and I love your style.

[Amanda Lee/ Isolated Dr..]

You have the most unique style ; I love it.

Very cool. This is really hitting the dynamics of a feeling, how emotions kind of cross examine eachother. At the moment for me I'm talking to my girl when I read this. However I could see this a one on one with myself. Good write, you touched on some hard things to get across.
To escape from yourself to get noticed.
Can it be repeated?
Or beginners luck?

....now nothing but just sitting and being together. Restful, you like me, I like you and we need nothing more. Oh, maybe a tad more in the cup. Thanks Chris. Such a "you see what you get" poem. Beautiful like you
