O, Dark Master

O, Dark Master

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

The best part of waking up...

"
I was only fifteen
In the beginning
My longing was deep; 
I thought I was sinning

Back then I thought
You needed much more
I'd add heavy cream
And sugar galore

Now stepping up 
To the coffee bar
I see you are perfect
Just as you are

Reaching for you
My heart just beats faster
For you, my caffeinated,
Dark-roasted master

Yes, it certainly can... :)
I do so love your way of thinking. Ha! Dark master indeed...
You even got in a little guilty rebellion as well. I can relate so well to the restrictions of lifestyle.
Fun read.

An anthem for all who rely upon their java jolts to get started each day. I too began with sugar, but now take it without, as nature intended. "Dark-roasted master" is a splendid ending.

Thank you, Rich! Coffee and poetry are my weaknesses!
A perky little ditty about Mr. Coffee, Ritty! Oh, oh, guess I got a bit carried away with the rhyme there, Rita. :) You have written another delightful poem. It's always a lot of fun to read your work. Thanks for another smile!

Thank you, Joyce! I am always so happy to see that my poems make people smile!
An enjoyable piece ! I did not expect it to be about coffee , so the end was a bit surprising.
