Abuser Bean

ABUSER BEAN Morning beams to light addiction Brewing needs to a daily fatigued affliction Dark brown beans of caffeine cupped in ceramic Without brew: seems I’ll go manic Vapour breathing cup of fragranced mist Beckons to needy lips in frantic caffeine list Odours burnt, smoky and oaky teasing steady sips Frenzy of buzzing bliss on my coffee trips Bottled, tinned or cupped I’ll keep my stash Never to withdraw in a buzzing crash Never fret to fill my cup Why wait, just Fill it up Each time alight the kettle, another hit Whenever I please, I’ll settle to quit In any aching addict, a heart lies thirsting An empty cup forever searching -Rickus Viljoen @Facebook: Mr Writes

Hi Rick..just plain excellent! Glad to know coffee is a cancer preventative, too. Read about it online. Panagiota
