Coffee tears

Cappuccino foam in Montreal puddles

In my cup of hopes is just rain

Rain

Gleam of fishy smile in your eyes… and splashes

of jazzy-joy sounds struggling my pain

Pain

Just a friend chat, drama-free, Polaroid-type reality

Banal coffee talk, no complaints

Rain

But why is my bare soul in the network of humanity

Lost and found in your hands?

Pain

Good coffee and sadness. At least you are not alone. I like the tale in the poem.

Ending made the poem complete. Rain allow the sadness to become one with life. Thank you for the excellent poem.

We all enjoy coffee mornings..... meeting up with friends to chat about this and that. Or just sitting solo... without a care in the world... people watching as you take another sip gazing out the window watching the world go by.... taking time out... ... to smell the coffee and realise..... today.........your not okay.... and the people your watching don't have a clue how your feeling inside.

Coffee mornings are a great place no matter where you are or who you are with...to rediscover yourself....

A powerful read well penned....

never know why writings here remind me of movies...and strangely your name brought to mind...the movie....whats the name....erm..Angelina jolie married to a coffee plantation owner....drat!
i know what i want to say but lost the name..
though i don't like cappuccino and its strong for me...i sip filter coffee that gives me migraine too...id best keep a few coffe pods in my palm to savor the fragrance...

and you wake up again to the fragrance of another brew...a new you...

Interesting poem, it shows the loneliness and emptiness of a person, love the line "In my cup of hopes is just rain"...very emotional and sad poem, you have an interesting style...great job

[Leslie Philibert]

Like this, from the outside small talk, from the poets inner vision more.Like the repeat of the last word of the first two verses as connection to the next stanza.

so much to drink here with this piece and it's more than pain;
a foaming thought latte of pressure released, your rain leaves a beautiful pitter patter on the page ... great poem

Hmmm who doesn't love a good coffee poem; hell most poets I know of subsist on coffee and reading material alone. I enjoyed the read!
