Uncanny Passion

There is something about thy Odor- almost infallibly refined An awakening of the senses A roasting of the oblivious mind For never have I, In feeling and thought combined, Ever lusted for a complexity as such Of a lover going blind Even if night and morning Were to intertwine- With you I shall soar Into the ages erstwhile Sinking in thought Of Theology implied And the ages of yore Of a primordial mankind Observing the Mesopotamians Worshiping in their shrines And the Phoenician ships Sailing through the Seas of Time This all takes place When near thy marvel I lie Deem me insane Deem my passion malign When I claim that a cup of coffee Is what all this is behind

Oh to be loved like that. Beautiful sensual images.. with the ending a suprise for me.... but it makes a perfect cup and a perfect poem. I keep reading it again so I can return to the beginning and inhale the best part and a great way to start. Awesome write! Congratulations on your success. Tamra

Was trying to think of a new adjective/s to describe this exceptional poem...will PERFECTLY WRITTEN suffice? You should be so proud of your profound talent! Excellent! Peace always, John

Farah, Your poem through its magic has turned a cup of coffee into love and romance. A tribute to your poetic talent. I always admire your work. Thanks for your kind words about my poem The Call of Death. This poet you have mentioned writes in English or Arabic? -Mohammad

Interesting thoughts that this cup of joe brings forth in one. These are on a much higher plane than mine whilst I enjoy the aroma wafing by for it reminds me of home and my mother in the early morning hours. Sara
