Coffee... the way you romance me, no words can describe.

Here's a bit of a fun piece i decided to write at 3:24 a.m. 


Oh, COFFEE! Coffee, coffee, coffee.... What is thy name?  That which we call an espresso bean by any other name would still taste as sweet.  Is it the way you make me feel warm and gushy every time you're around? Or is it the way ONE SIP, just one sip, has the power to change my day, my week, my every moment! My sleep is restless, but my mornings are peaceful when I have you, love!  Oh my cup of Joe, held so tightly between the grasps of my palm I carry you with love, Beloved Java. My beloved espresso. Me beloved, little dark, brown bean the way you smile at me, when I open my fairly traded bag of imported love, it beams me with delight and my grin is felt from one ear to the other. Oh, beloved, when I freshly grind you in my little, nifty, grinder that Target has bestowed upon me, I give thanks for your harvesters who have worked so darn hard to get you where I want you. When I measure the water for boiling, my feet taps out a little rhythm of soul for the happiness that you bring it. When I get you into my coffeemate, coffee machine and press the start button, I tear up a little at the way you sing and let your aroma run so freely all around me, because I know the outcome of your love, and it's a little overwhelming.  I sit and wait in eagerness at your completion. As you are brewing, I bring out our old friend, dear Hazelnut creamer. Oh, the excitement she radiates to see you once more, and the spoonful of sugar that screams to be put in our tasse de café.  Do you feel the celebration that awaits you? The celebration that awaits me elicits a happiness within. And... ah there you are... finished, and ready to be poured. Ready to be infused with the festivities of hazelnut and sugarcane. I take my teaspoon and stir away all my worries.  I pick up my cup of paradise and oh that sip, gives me the hope that the day is but a hill of ants that is easily smitten with one stomp of my foot. With you, beloved Coffee, it's almost as if Oprah herself was going through my day with me. Coffee, you are a love and friend that I fall speechless for. One sip, just one sip has the power to change my day, my week, every moment. :)
