For the Love of Coffee

An ode to coffee, written for the WDC Frontliners Mundane Metamorphosis contest.

For the Love of Coffee

Fragrant, dark and sweet as sin
this drink divine is brought to me
Nectar in the shades of night
of weariness it sets me free
until an empty pot is all I see
its lofty promises dried up

Yet once again I must give in
like Cupid's poor seducee
A love this true one should not fight
but rather taste its reverie
and feel each morning's ecstasy
through holy liquid in a sacred cup
