Coffee
I drink it daily,
the usual dark roast
with creamer
and sweet and low
savor every sip
its bittersweet taste
linger on my tongue
till the last drop
Empty cup in hand,
I reminisce the candy
of your breath
the poetry of your words
preserved in my diaries
my vocabulary
along with my youth
during your absence
