All the Refreshment

If a man could drink
with his eyes,
then you are all
the refreshment
I could ever want or need.
Your skin is the color
of my coffee in the morning.
And as I kiss you with each sip.
It goes without saying...
I take my coffee black.
Savoring my second sip,
Caressing the surface 
of your softness.
You’re a one of a kind sensation
a refreshing rejuvenation.
For a lunch time lover
 you give new meaning
 to a midday martini.
I go through my day
wondering,
how can I be so lucky?
to fall in love with
a walking work of art.
It must be my calling
because I'm still falling.
You stay on my mind
you stay on my lips.
You stole my heart
long before this morning’s first kiss.
You are my sweet chocolate escape.
As I come home
To the paradise of your warm embrace.
You’re the love of my life.
And all the happiness 
I could ever want or need.

I met my sweetie 26 years ago and my desire for her has never diminished. As long as you don’t add any cream, your coffee girl will be all you will ever need.
