I'll make you a cuppa coffee

...
I'll make you a cuppa coffee
whilst my heart remains
waiting to receive the
other stolen half 
playing the melancholia tunes
on a piano in the ocean
with broken bemoaning keys
dreaming my dread will 
float with the 
curling reflecting waves

I'll make you a cuppa coffee
mixed with my eagerness
to be enough
and to become 
a cumbersome pillow-covered boulder
willingly chained in place
for you to fall on

I'll make you a cuppa coffee
after the rain
hot n soul-comforting
sweet to the first sip
with instant anomie bitterness
swooned with the 
sugar cubes in the 
coffee creamed heart-stricken
shaped swirls 

I'll make you a cuppa coffee
with a heart suffering 
bearing heavy weights alone
desolate, only
tumbleweeds flowing
abrupt earthquakes 
on the verge of
collapsing completely 
awaiting the day
someone makes me mine
...

Hello MiMi, I like a strong cup of expresso coffee to feel awakened from un rested sleep. Expresso wakes me. Enjoy your day my friend. /Darlene/

playing the melancholia tunes on a piano in the ocean… with instant anomie bitterness…and then awaiting the day someone “makes mine.” Yes, we compassionate often do so much and yearn for a hug of our own. Hugs…here’s a cuppa, MiMi :)
