A Second Helping

Of the dark, offered in the morning cup,
and the chill of salted caramel cream,
spooning after an impervious dream
and clink-clink spell of alarum abrupt,
comes the ceramic to sip, birdsong up.
Fruity-caffeine drips into the bloodstream.
Imagery from a black forest daydream.
Pleasing sense and bonny sounds come to sup.
Draining of dregs, at last bit - bottom’s cold.
The Cupid sheet, vanilla, clings to spouse.
The warmth of my body under his skin.
The vigor of unharnessed dark horse bold.
His stirring, a second helping,  aroused.
Pastels of cockcrow flutes, dawn’s violins.

So blissful to imagine a second helping through your pen--daydreams in every sip my friend---especially as you evoke flutes and violins. A lovely romantic write, Kim.
