Coffee Date

Ease in slowly.

Mocha’s warm invitation

to stir settling grounds

and sculpt vanilla clouds

with intimate whispers

is sincere.

Your comfort is paramount.

Rich chocolate delicacies

stimulate indulgence,

sweet intoxication;

the tongue lingering

on forbidden words.

Slow, luxurious swirls

savour frosting,

just enough decadence

to tempt the forbidden.

Expect decorum.

Leather menus

conceal your grimace of

self-judging despair and

my smile of acceptance.

Dark irises

search

for the part of your soul

that knows

this moment

is already a

Sepia memory.

I see you now.

I want to know you now;

not who you were

or who you hope to be.

Essence is timeless.
