So true…
“Coffee”
Painting by Mark Kazav
From artid.com
luxurious liquid
of mornings
a smooth silky brown
deep as pools of
Italian-born eyes
rich aromas of lush
equatorial mountains
a taste that transmits
to the brain
a warm wakening
opens receptors
to savory words
of an organic muse
here is stimulus
eagerly drawn
from the pleasure of
daily familiar routine
creativity found
in each sip
ingenuity plumbed
from each swallow
a gentle dependency
bearing the traits
of a vice that
by my lights
conforms to a virtue
