I Sip Those Coffee Irises

i sip those coffee irises
which beckon my core
sans a resounding wave
or bawdy utterance

the strong, robust urge
a breathless yearning
i stir that drink
with a flirtatious cream

i lean into his cup
the grind of healthy soil
a tasty, deep, romantic bean
those eyes ~ my twinge

a loving cup
pours into every kiss
the slide of lips
the palming caress

oh how those eyes dance
in throes
the thrill that wakes me up
stirs him to sleep

content beneath the sheets
those coffee irises
hidden from my view
i’m totally taken
