Coffee Sunrise

The taste of coffee on lips glossed with
The reality of everything behind me
And tinted with the curiosity of everything before me
Pressed together in a mix of bitten color
And bitter flavors that meld
As I watch the sun come up over a quiet city
Blanketed in cold that creeps into the crevasses
Of ones thoughts pulling forth a rambling
Of emotions from days gone by
And taking the mind down a curious path
Wondering what tomorrow may bring
And in the midst of wondering
the smell of coffee breaks through
Pulling me back to my cold reality
Sun higher than before
Shooting sparkling rays off frosted snow
Making it seem like such a nicer place 
Than the mind knows
And the lips speak of.

Excellent poem. It`s quiet romantic with the sweetness of your love... and the mixture of words. Great job!

Snow is mentioned? When did you write this? j/k

I liked the feel of this one. I can identify with this since you seem like a dreamer-as am I. Nice command of descriptive words.

I actually wrote this just this past winter. I had my writing on a different site, but they closed, so I've been slowly putting some of it here lol. Today is the last of it actually, onto the new now :) Thank you for the review :)

That site closed? Really? I wonder why. I have been on other writing sites too that probably should have closed. lol

I will read more of your stuff. You seem accomplished.

I believe the sudden excuse we got was "the site traffic isn't what we would like to be after recent changes and we are therefore closing as a service of our writers to be able to get more from their work elsewhere" lol. I guess I'll give them honesty!

wow. What was the name of the site?

[Victoria Mae]

It was helium.com I think it was classified as a freelance site, which I did earn an OK amount of money from (for a woman who writes poems and short story/flash on a pennies per view basis there at least!), but how they suddenly shut down was odd. We were able to download our work, but they didn't give nearly enough time, as you had to take it individually piece by piece. So here I am, trying to learn this site and just keep the words moving :)
