Wisp of Coffee
Wisp of coffee curling in the air
from the porcelain demitasse.
Getting high on the earthy aroma
permeating the zephyr
under the serene aurora,
where I hummed with whispers of dawn,
swam through the bittersweet flow
warming the gelid within.
Caffeine pervading my veins,
I’m in a daze.
from the porcelain demitasse.

under the serene aurora,
where I hummed with whispers of dawn,
swam through the bittersweet flow
warming the gelid within.
Caffeine pervading my veins,

Coffee of my dreams
Caramel thick and smooth
Whipped cream
Of my dream
Coffee turned vanilla
Chilled
With a dash of sprinkles
And maybe some hazel
I drink

Leatherette Angel, Seated
Leatherette Angel, Seated
Eyes small as raindrops
In the April mists of dawn
When faux leather boots
Cover the calves
Of her glacial blues
Her gaze focused like a sunbeam
In a magnifier glass
That burns the paper of my soul
Into a smoking fire
With her derriere the sun,
Seen peeking through clouds
Of denim shorts,
That ignites my passion
With the Siren song of youth
To seduce my soul
As Samhain approaches
In the orchard of dreams
Whose apples are ripe
With the blush of maidenhood
Eyes small as raindrops
In the April mists of dawn
When faux leather boots
Cover the calves
Of her glacial blues
Her gaze focused like a sunbeam
In a magnifier glass
That burns the paper of my soul
Into a smoking fire
With her derriere the sun,
Seen peeking through clouds
Of denim shorts,
That ignites my passion
With the Siren song of youth
To seduce my soul
As Samhain approaches
In the orchard of dreams
Whose apples are ripe
With the blush of maidenhood

The Tyranny of Dawn
Please let me sleep
I beg the early rays of the sun
just five more minutes
to close my eyes
but dawn answers back
trumpets blaring
Wake up sleepyhead, wake!
I bring you a bright new day
and so, as if against my will
first one eye
and then the other
are pried open by soft morning light
Sighing, I grudgingly accept defeat
watching dew glistening
like diamonds on seas of green
early birds looking for earlier worms
wondering if worker bees
are happy being so busy
I think...

the meat locker
The Meat Locker
The largest ice freezer of free-range Texan
long-horns where mice wore fur to survive
broke down, the carcasses began rotting
thrown into the bay.
The day after, sharks came to the surface
throwing up, turning the water foamy
For anglers, it was a bonus they caught
big marlins and red snappers

Henchman of caffeine
The rouse is dynamic
Inhaling the vapour of musk
The husks bear no limits to the spectacular of liquid rebirth within
Invigorating the bones
Stimulating the eye
He swills the sable waters
lapping up the vigour of caffeine
the henchman romances his ebony gift
Pining over the imprint of such a creation
He’s stimulated—
The addicts gold
Affair of bold
A sip of clarity’s chiming

Fancy That
dark elixir carefully brewed
a ritual when dawn unfold
to smell that and the roses
slowly dying on vases
the fragrance dance in the air
like belly dancers' tantalising gait
caressing the senses deeply
a lick a sip and everything's great
Coffee like dreams taking flight
carefully traversed on the morning light.

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...

THE COFFEE BAR
It's where I go
to find my flow.
The coffee bar
is where you are.
With forearms bare
you kind prepare
my day's request,
exchanging jest.
I hear the 'whoosh'
come like a flush
as you serve me
variety
of a flavour
I could savour.
Your tone of skin
is so matching
what's in my cup
when it's milked up.
to find my flow.

Barista Flow
Damn I need a vice
it’s gotta be more to life
than pouring espresso shots
over ice.
Busting my ass on bar,
while the strangers just stare,
Oat milk here, a little caramel drizzle there.
Fancy coffees for fancy prices.
Short,
Tall,
Grande,
Venti,
It’s nice to have that privilege with a side
of Fendi.
Designer bags, designer things
I’m tired of slanging coffees,
I want the finer things.
I’m just a barista that does poetry…
if I wasn’t handing you your coffee,
you wouldn’t notice me..

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...
