My coffee

 


My coffee is not sweet
Not loaded with sweetness like yours 
It is bitter
With that added stress on the 'R' 
Like you do 
A fragrant  
Flavoursome bitterness
Just like that first sin of us
I see it brew 
In that caraffe of clear water
Racing around
Warming up
Colouring the pure water 
In brown
A deep dark coffee brown
My brows frown 
As I concentrate 
On the bubbles
And the froth 
Making love
Then breaking down 
Tired
And then it is time for me
To add that pinch of salt
Balancing the sweetness
The sweetness of your coffee
And the sweetness in you
To drown
Drown in the bitterness 
Of the brown brew
Soaking in the first sin
Together with you
