Cafe Americano
They are the only two words
I ever need to know
wherever I may go
to bring me back home
Piping hot in my cup
to caffeinate me up
with just a splash
of cold fresh cream
The stronger the better
to help me awake
with each sip I take
feel the rush arrive
Even half way round
the world
the magic is unfurled
in its coffee brown hue
A little taste of home
to help me as I roam
for when my cup is done
a new day has just begun
I ever need to know
wherever I may go
to bring me back home
Piping hot in my cup
to caffeinate me up
with just a splash
of cold fresh cream
The stronger the better
to help me awake
with each sip I take
feel the rush arrive
Even half way round
the world
the magic is unfurled
in its coffee brown hue
A little taste of home
to help me as I roam
for when my cup is done
a new day has just begun

Sidewalk Cafe
It could be anywhere
be anytime
in need of rhyme
in need of respite
The slightly rocky table
is here to remind
to help me recall
the precariousness of the moment
Watching the people stroll by
is anything but pedestrian
as I listen to so many tongues
fill the air with music
The dialogue of the day
inspires the same way
regardless of the language
of the dialect
While I sip my dark roast
whispering a quiet toast
to all that we are
all that we might become
be anytime
in need of rhyme
in need of respite
The slightly rocky table
is here to remind
to help me recall
the precariousness of the moment
Watching the people stroll by
is anything but pedestrian
as I listen to so many tongues
fill the air with music
The dialogue of the day
inspires the same way
regardless of the language
of the dialect
While I sip my dark roast
whispering a quiet toast
to all that we are
all that we might become

A Poet in Paris
The cobblestone street curls
as my imagination unfurls
canvas spreading itself out
before my ambling feet
While the faint rose hue
finally spills through
as April paints the windows
warms the marble colonnade
As I seek out some cafe au lait
then finally start my poetic day
resume this daily pursuit
finding where my truth lies
For this dear City of Lights
conceals many delights

warms the marble colonnade

Coffee House Radio
I could spend every day
exactly this same way
claiming a comfy corner chair
becoming the chosen heir
of a little coffee house radio
playing soft in an aloft stereo
where I can finally meet myself
put our differences on the shelf
pull back these burdened black blinds
usher in a fresh meeting of like minds
exactly this same way
claiming a comfy corner chair
becoming the chosen heir
of a little coffee house radio
playing soft in an aloft stereo
where I can finally meet myself
put our differences on the shelf
pull back these burdened black blinds
usher in a fresh meeting of like minds

Coffee House Poetry
When in Starbucks…
It is the only thing to do
while awaiting my fresh brew
a little vinti dark roast
to finally then raise a toast…
the beginning of my latest poem
while my feral lines now roam
right off of the blank page
on the scent of something sage
…as my mind drifts far away
again forgetting all it has to say
It is the only thing to do
while awaiting my fresh brew
a little vinti dark roast
to finally then raise a toast…
the beginning of my latest poem
while my feral lines now roam
right off of the blank page
on the scent of something sage
…as my mind drifts far away
again forgetting all it has to say

Venti Darkness
Funny what a mere cup
of coffee can tell you
about me
much more than you see
The largest size
no real surprise
given the way
I quaff this life
Piping hot with rising steam
this Arabica dream
roasted to sheer perfection
with a bitter most bite
Strong and robust
still wary of trust
given how often
it has been spilled
A quick creamy splash
as I make my mad dash
across the floor
then out through the in door
of coffee can tell you
about me
much more than you see
The largest size
no real surprise
given the way
I quaff this life
Piping hot with rising steam
this Arabica dream
roasted to sheer perfection
with a bitter most bite
Strong and robust
still wary of trust
given how often
it has been spilled
A quick creamy splash
as I make my mad dash
across the floor
then out through the in door

En Paris
French for “In Paris”
You have to be French
to understand
la vie grande
being back in mon Paris
There is something in the air
the moment without a care
French Presse coffee
right in front of me
La vie en rose
I do suppose…
the soundtrack of my life
quitting all of that strife
Knowing love is just
around the corner
around the next bend
promising never to end
With a kiss on my cheek
to make my knees weak
listening to whispered Baudelaire ...

You Had Me at Starbucks
I live my Java dream
with each splash of cream
a piping hot cup
just to jolt me up
Raising a quick toast
with my venti dark roast
putting on my cardboard sleeve
right before I leave
Ready again to face the world
with my destiny now unfurled
with each splash of cream
a piping hot cup
just to jolt me up
Raising a quick toast
with my venti dark roast
putting on my cardboard sleeve
right before I leave
Ready again to face the world
with my destiny now unfurled

Tempest in a Coffee Mug
It often makes me simply shrug
another tempest in a coffee mug
meant to rile me on up
make me then spill my full cup
While I continue playing the fool
waiting for my dark roast to cool
before I take that intrepid first sip
before I let my quill then dip
For ritual is a sacred most thing
with all of the pageantry it can bring
to the commencement of the write
all alone on a balmy summer night
Taking my new poetic cues
from these mistakes I do choose
lay them on out end to end
while tears and ink finally...

In Equal Measure
I have measured out my life in coffee spoons" ~ T.S. Eliot
As I now look back into the black
of ever darkening memory
it does occur to me
that every life needs measurement
The good and the bad
the happy and sad
laid out in the sterilizing sun
placed upon some sterling scale
Each won victory or travail
now fully reassessed
each sin so clearly confessed
along with every single blessing
As I try to take stock
with the ticking of the clock
realizing how time dilates
with...

A Splash
It is truly
how I take my coffee
but also how I live
my vagabond life
Just a tip of the lip
to let the cream
begin the java dream
as it descends
Swirling spirals
entropic patterns
mix betwixt
the piping steam
As dawn does gleam
within my eye
as I boldly try
to again unfalter
Genuflect before the altar
getting a grip as I sip
wanting so to drown
in this coffee brown
how I take my coffee
but also how I live
my vagabond life
Just a tip of the lip
to let the cream
begin the java dream
as it descends
Swirling spirals
entropic patterns
mix betwixt
the piping steam
As dawn does gleam
within my eye
as I boldly try
to again unfalter
Genuflect before the altar
getting a grip as I sip
wanting so to drown
in this coffee brown

Coffee Shop
Today is the day I stay
I reclaim
my precious corner
my special place
Finally able to face
the throng
where I belong
my back to the wall
Bleached white cup
filled all the way up
hot in my grip
as I cradle it soft
With daydreams aloft
pen in hand
as I make my stand
though no poetic Waterloo
With so much to do
but still more to say
as I pen each line
following each cryptic sign
I reclaim
my precious corner
my special place
Finally able to face
the throng
where I belong
my back to the wall
Bleached white cup
filled all the way up
hot in my grip
as I cradle it soft
With daydreams aloft
pen in hand
as I make my stand
though no poetic Waterloo
With so much to do
but still more to say
as I pen each line
following each cryptic sign
