My Dark Muse

My Dark Muse awaits me
almost brooding
but she gently stirs

Deep, rich, brown
she's almost ebon
and bold in character

Some would have her colder
but she's hot to the touch
and warms me inside

Some would have her lighter
but she's bright and strong
and elevates my mood

Some would have her sweeter
but she's more substantial
and quickens my heart

Some may think her bitter
but they don't realize
haven't tasted her fully

I love her every day
she encourages me, urges me
each time she fills my cup

  9. How lovely. It's a shame that I am condemned to de-caff, which in no way could be described as a muse. But I can dream at the scent.

  10. Somehow I was expecting 'dark' not caffinated. Fun anywho.

  18. I'm grateful for all the kind words.

    This was easy to write for me, since I love coffee. In fact, I'm a wee bit of a coffee snob - I buy whole bean coffees, grind them fresh, make 1/2 pots, use gold filters, etc.
