After-Coffee
This is personally one of my favourites from my book. I actually wrote this 2017 at my grandmother`s house, on the sofa around the a.ms after listening to a beat that had been sent on Whatsapp from a dear musician friend of mine. The title came about after we both expressed how beautiful concepts come after drinking coffee. He wanted me to do a verse and this is what transpired in less than an hour. I hope you enjoy.
_________________________________
It was After-Coffee
when he came in with his magic.
I had cleared all the rooms.
The soul is a huge house to live in
that I don`t know if I want
to be tripping on any more shrooms.
It was After-Coffee.
I rinsed our windows.
I don’t know if I`d eat his soul inside out.
We were ruined but love grows.
I know he wouldn’t hesitate to feed me to the scarecrows.
The ambience of the mere sacrifice is the door.
Do you know that magic?
It was After-Coffee.
The truth comes when we don’t sleep.
You stand and never leave.
We opened to find help.
In our Castle, I seeked but he found me hiding
like the eyes of a moving carpet.
He blushes but “chocolate is the new red”
I said with magic.
Have you tasted it?
It clears you out and leaves you laughing.
Don`t count the leaves in your garden.
This is how I fall in love, it’s enchanting.
His soul waters mine,
It`s been a while since I woke up to such,
my body hates him but anyway,
would you like some of that After-Coffee Magic?
