Coffee

I’d like a medium with creamer Please

Fill mine all the way

No whip, sitting a top

I’ve got something you will like

The barista says

Wait, try this… Here you go

What do you think?

Tall and strong it stands

Side eye she gives but grasps in hand

The way she holds its boldness

Firm grip, Legs crossed

deep into daily episodic thought

Her lips slightly open ready

Warm and steaming as she guides

Slowly filling space, she pulls back

Thighs clinch and squeeze

What is this the order he placed?

Unexpected and different

Damn, I needed this, there is something

About the smoothness of

Strong dark and black

Warm to her lips,

Again, she sips….

Coffee

I love you

In that space

Between the heat of day

And the cool of night

Magical that chase

You know day after night

Night after day

I’ll just lay

How beautiful you are today

 

-DB

You and me…individual trees

On either side of the flowing stream

Witnesses to untold stories and dreams

Swift current strong are the roots Long reaching branches touching

Many the years gratefully to witness

The time taken for blooms of all things

Raising under the sun and the washing rain

Studied one another we did,

Naked in fall but full in spring

Not important the matters of philosophical things

Change comes

Can you feel the wind?

I remember the first time I held you

It was the first-time love was tangible

I cried that day

because I knew one day you would grow and be beautiful

A woman making strides in life

Shelter you I would from heartache or any pain…

Sooner than thought pain would strike

when a nurse with unprovoked intent gave your first shots

The pain ached through my body as your vocals reached my heart

Your eyes innocent closing tight

my heart racing and streaming tears jump to fight

Unknowing adventures and challenges

Lay ahead you filled my heart with anticipation

I need for a pause in time to enjoy all your days again

I say I’ll run with you forward into better days which are still on the horizon

You’re brave, strong and courageous

continue to lead and be the example for not only your sister and brother

but all those who follow

You are your mother’s heart and your father’s smile

Be brave and continue to strive and go that extra mile

I love you

Bre
