Sippin a Timmy's in London

Aerodynamically designed
and leaning near the bar
I'm drawn buy your finesse and patience
~
One step closer
standing
just out of reach
my murky heart grows darker
and
in mere moments
I catch your eye
~
Your brow lifts
hindering
a bead of sweat
the corner of your lip
curls
in anticipation
~
Just before reaching out
with your firm but gentle touch
my heart fills
with a bubbling
effervescence
~
My head lightens
~
I'm black
~
I'm beautiful
~
I'm Guinness
~~~
Happy St Patrick's Day... Finish your Guinness in five sips or less, to be Irish today
