Hundredth Cup Of Coffee

You’re a queen, selling dreams, selling makeup and magazines. From you I'd buy anything.- Taylor Swift

You moved on on a Thanksgiving morning
A look like cookies and cream
We’re kinda like a purple apartment
Living on our own
Just people to call home
The closest I’ve ever known
So forget the lies, forget the bones
Love has made it snow

Cacti hills in the morning
You’re the bubbles floating around in my stomach
I can’t believe you exist
And everyone needs to know it

I want to be that feeling in your head when you slide off that much too tight scrunchie
Take me to the the store in the morning
So in a few years I can reminisce over your chocolate milk and favorite cereal
Cold cinnamon floating in the alleyway
Please, you have to stay

Your so soft, smile and all
I get what they were talking about
Making my heart glow like a streetlight
Reanimate my skeleton
When everyone else before treated me as a blight
A queen in my vicinity
The epitome of perfect
I’m too giddy
And I don’t know how lucky I am that I got here
You’ve gotta be kidding me

SPF radiates off
And water and diners and hotels fill my thoughts
Like i said you gotta be kidding me
How did you get this pretty?
Will you ever teach the world
Will they ever know
How your heart made my world finally spin slow?

You’re a latte wrapped in a Christmas bow
The kind of genius on their hundredth cup of coffee
I remember you from lives ago

What a delicious soliloquy on finding someone that makes you feel this way. Such intricate images and feelings all wrapped in truly creative expression. I really enjoyed this, especially, "cold cinnamon floating in an alleyway" and "you're a latte wrapped in a Christmas bow." This is such a treat!

Thank you so much! I was unsure if those lines would sound good so I’m very glad they were liked. I appreciate the review so much.

Wonderfully creative. Methinks this special person rings your bell in a big way.

"You're a latte wrapped in a Christmas bow," that is so lovely. Great wording Colacat. All good things from across the pond.

Your words are so expressive, so touching and warm, and you repeat them to make sure that that the special person is listening. You revealed you feelings about others who didn't see the passion in you. This person makes your heart glow like a streetlight, "you're a latte wrapped in a Christmas bow"
Lovely,
Best, B

As all before have said some great lines, unique.
I'm on my first cup of coffee, enjoying it, but not as much as reading this.
Good morning

I would give anything to have written the first stanza...JEALOUS? oh no, not a bit!

I agree with Sami about how good you are. "your heart made my world finally spin slow?"
"you're a latte wrapped in a Christmas bow"
I think I remember this speaker from lives ago...and it feels like I have had a few....

and there is nothing like cold cinnamon, and even cold synonyms are good.
Excellent write...
