Coffee close-up

“There is just something about coffee, the looks and feel of it, it’s just, well, great!” Gun Roswell

Coffee close-up

The freshly poured coffee in the cup, the aroma swirling mid air, and the powerful smells reaching my nose as I needed my dose. This was not fair as there was a note on the side of it, stating in read and bold letters; “Do not touch!”

But it kept in taunting me, why oh why was someone doing this to me!? Why was I not allowed to touch that one thing, which made my hearts sing and wanting to dance and prance and shout out loud about after first sting?

Who on Earth could have done such a terrible deed to this coffee addict of a creep like myself who could never function properly, without my daily fix of the most finest invention of all time. That one and only thing making me smile after a cup or few in the early morning hours?

I stood there, unbelieving for a moment longer than I should. Lingering, hovering over the sweet sweet juice I had been denied and that it when I did decide. No matter what, nobody could stand between me and my coffee. After a quick glance to each direction, I grabbed the cup, took a sip and another and then, I felt like me again.

I waited for someone to turn up with a huff and a puff. Alas, no one did and then I remembered a blurry hazy state I had been in during the night and the warning made much more sense now. It was me, myself who had wandered off in the middle of the night and written those horrible words. As to the why I was still uncertain, but boy, had I been off!

Tossing the note aside, I kept on slurping my reward oh so fine.

Going solo

A pretty little flower to
The market went, whole day spent on
A terrace sipping tiny cocktails

Red Rose

A beautiful red rose
Now, fully grown
Standing, in a tall pose
Waiting, for the one it chose

what spring does with the cherry trees”

Cherries

Hidden berries
In the tree filled with cherries
If you look carefully…

Then soon enough, cheerfully
The rest of the day
Will be spent
Because the cherries found here
Were a heaven’s send

“Where, here and there, on sandy beaches
A milky-bell’d amaryllis blew”
Tennyson

Amaryllis

An Amaryllis
Named it, Phyllis
It may not be as strong
As Bruce Willis

I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”

Frozen,
In space and time
Leaves,
In dozen a dime

Little yellow dandelions
Powerful, like lions
Growing strong, despite September
Possibly still yellow, come November
