I need you your strong darkness My salvation of the morning My ease at night So many tastes of you to feed my addiction Your warmth lingers, slowly fills me and I hold you close, to inhale more deeply of your scent You are my awakening Opening my eyes to refinements of culture, savoring your many flavors at night Yet always I find I love you most just before dawn in your primitive, dark, strong constitution, never desecrated by cream and sugar in my cup © caroline 1999 LOL...sorry its late Dark Angel...I was on a coffee break!  It's not the love you fear, but the fall from the height~Edwin McCain |

What a wonderful perspective to take, Caroline - I love the idea of desecration through cream and sugar. It highlights to me how out of touch we seem to be with the world (ie - 'Colder'! - reading my mind again...?) Marvellous work. K |

Caroline you do have a way with words. Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~. DreamEvil© ------------------------------------------------------- "Either kill me or take me as I am, because I'll be damned if I ever change..." Count Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade (Marquis de Sade) |

That sure describes it well! A morning without coffee is...well...not morning! Great poem and choice of words too! Denise |

This was great Caroline--you had me thinking of a lover not a coffee lover. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Although I have never liked coffee, you certainly have given me a new look on it |

Denise...you got that right! Thanks!DA...some organic Costa Rican light...it was great *LOL* (pouring you out a cup...have some!) Martie~~Well I gotta take what I can get..ROFL Hoot, my friend...try this recipe...you'll be a convert for sure Toffee Coffee One cup of black coffee Three tablespoons of caramel syrup Two tablespoons half & half Pour the caramel syrup into a tall mug, pour the hot coffee over it. Add the cream, stir well. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar or nutmeg (your choice!) Kick back and enjoy it (This is also good with some amaretto thrown in!) |

Caroline - Here I sit, coffee cup in hand. The taste of my coffee is really quite grand. Maxwell House and I have a covenent with Heaven, if it's not served WELL ..... (no, no ... not there !) If Heaven doesn't serve my blend ... we'll have to see that it's brought in. I mellow mine with cream so light, it really is a morning delight. Thank you for the rhyme it was 'good to the very last drop'. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
