The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Coffee House Girl

She wears a stunning shell
Unbroken and full of life
I feel the warm glow of her skin
Desiring a conversation begins
Shame blocks progress
And I digress
My empty shell, broken
Fragments in my nest
Just me and loneliness

You have to come out of that loneliness and ask that coffee house girl out. You never know she could be the love of your life. Phyl
