a Starbuck's dream

inspired by Chris' poem "Somewhen it's morning..."

a Starbucks' dream

spill the love,

let it drip onto the saucer

then let's embark

with our lattes

fly away to another planet,

one percolating with peace,

caffeine consent

simmering seduction with smiles

brewed perfectly,

holding cups, holding hands, holding hope.

A good cup of coffee, a stimulating conversation, a warm relationship - all lift us up. And, of course, the truly wise know that the cup itself doesn't matter... ;)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you, Rita...and it is so good to see you again...how are you?

[Rita L. Sev]

Jacob, all is well. I can't tell whether work is more intense lately, or if I am just getting older (and therefore slower...). Thus, it takes me three weeks to get back to WC... Hope all is well with you - Happy 2016!

Starbucks coffee is a little high end of the regular latte but you get a high octane caffeine . When someone is Starstruck or inlove with someone . Sky is the limit. I tried this coffee one time Jacob and had caffeine withdrawls . I guess its the same way with love ...

i am afraid it is, Neil... very much so.

thanks for your words,

This is sweet and creamy like my favorite coffee. :)
Reminds me of my poem MY COFFEE in another site.
Thanks for sharing.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

But will the new land let you in - you guys being refugees and all? And if THEY didn't would your old land let you return! Sigh, Lost in a Perfect Storm of brewers' perfection til the tepidness overwhelms you and you so slowly and inexorably sink into the morass of sweet cloy and grounds gathered and forgotten at cups' end.

Was thought-fullly delicious.

ever and always Jacob... we DO twinkling eyes well - you and I

Never having been in a Starbuck's but having been a long-time coffee drinker, I can once again marvel at how you use the extended metaphor to illustrate a seemingly disparate concept such as love. And the last line: "holding cups, holding hands, holding hope" is the perfect closing for a wonderful love story. Very well done, jacob. take care...dan

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your very kind review, dan.

There is a down home comforting feeling to this poem, Jacob. Holding hands and drinking a good cup of coffee....and seeing where it will lead. Easy to dream when one is in a coffee house. It is one of my favorite pasttimes. I liked this. Lydi**

I love this write Jacob! My best friend met her husband at Starbucks and they are still (holding cups, holding hands, holding hope.) I love your closing line. Happy Holidays to you and yours Jacob. ~Sharon

A perfect picture. This could easily describe my morning ritual with my cronies discussing how we're gonna cure all the problems of the world.
Always a pleasure
