Cold Coffee Daydreams

Sitting here in my office,
watching steam rise in cursive swirls
from the black coffee in front of me 
on this stormy Monday morning

Staring at nothing in particular,
I allow my thoughts to linger,
becoming completely lost in another
beautiful daydream of you and me

      we walk along a secluded beach,
         palm tree shadows sway, 
     sand between our toes, 
        a sunrise surf lulls hypnotically
          in rhythmic tempo whispers as I peer 
       deeply into your maple syrup eyes,
    falling deeper in love with you 
          with each longing glance
      We kiss and my heart melts
        at the feel of your sweet lips
      pressed tightly against mine…

A loud clap of thunder wakes me
as I once again realize where I am,
sitting behind a desk covered in paperwork
and another now cold cup of coffee, but…

There are many more daydreams where 
that one came from that will always include 
you because… they all originate in my heart
and there’s still hot coffee in the pot

You finesse romance like no other. Last line is money, and a suggestively fine brew. :)

Thanks so very much my sweet friend. That's funny about math class. I used to daydream in school all of the time. Now it's work that I need an escape from. I appreciate your kindness, always Charmaine.
