freshly brewed aromas and spicy jazz
permeate the air around you
drawing a sketch of life
where the paint of love is yours to decide

shapes objects and rhythmic swirls
defined by no one and everyone
smoky hazes of desire and lust
broken only when the last drag is finished


-----------------------------------


coffee grinds and seven am smokes
light jazz on the radio
people running in and out dashing to work
like their life revolves around the clock
instead of the coffe they drink

'Bout time you showed up!    I'm liking this one...

My mind did a little trick with the second stanza...a little play on words...

both readings were nice!

(smiles) Oh my, I know just how it feels because I go to Starbucks and other coffee shops a lot and it seems like a spirit roo almost, where time seems to swim with the java brewing! (big hugggsssss) This is a wonderful surreal feel of a poem, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

wow thanks all hoping to post more for more aunt here so she can get some more poems together, but just hadn't had time to put pen to paper in a productive manner (other than work that is).  hope to see more of myself too.  I know!  I think I'll go buy a mirror!
