Ode to Coffee

To coffee, my dear company in life, and the darkest nights.

UNCERTAIN HAIKU

To coffee; sweet god

Captivating mermaid of

profound daytime dreams

SERENE ODE

Often times I’ve found

Before the smell-of-so-inbound

I stop my step freeze dry

And let the heat make cry

*

On your mattress, the muse lies

On your legs, the bluebird finds

A rest from life and earthly bounds

Cozy shelter all you-round

*

Merlot, cherry, maroon, or wine

You are who paints the lips so scarlet

And lips coincide, the best company has failed

To mimic such a captivating scent starlet

*

Brunette night with azure eyes haunts me

But I taste your flesh and advance

With ease through this nightmare sea,

You made in romance flourish thy

*

That’s why it desires you, my body

You’re sweetness, balsamic freedom

While others may deny your bitter spice

I will always love you, sweet coffee-o-mine.
