Karmic Kismet

When the Goddess of aroma
graces my caffeinated soul, 
her milky quartz crown 
                     shines in shades 
                     of ineffable pleasures.
Invigorating arabica stars within 
                  my senses to rise
                       like steamy silhouettes~
              laced in seraphic
                        aura of lotus chastity….

If coffee personifies
the electrifying taste 
of my longing soul,
will fruity scents stir,
to evoke hidden 
metaphors within this 
mocha heart? 

I’ll sketch
decaffeinated skies 
with roasted beans 
of brunette bliss. 
Let colors of the 
golden sun splatter
harmonious hues 
of cosmic sanctity.
I’ll embrace the 
aromatic elixir of life,
brewed with 
floral hints of faith~
allowing unfiltered 
essence of 
meaningless mornings,
to reawaken an undying 
thirst to illuminate 
fading stardust.
Quenching serenity 
from granulated values,
that depict
karmic kismet
across divine rivers
flowing with 
spiritual awakening. 

Perhaps, with every 
sip of espresso,
we indulge a scoop of
cocoa gratitude,
expressing the 
inner purity, 
while happiness pours
into a crystal clear cup 
of constant clarity. 
There the light 
of cinnamon
oozes amidst the 
cleansed canvas of life, 
to rescript an 
ethereal ingredient
that guides us back to
a realm of rosier runes,
where ego has no palette
to rest upon,
for within us dwells 
an immortal barista, 
concocting healing drips
from caramelized visions.

I’ll hold on to these 
unexplored cravings,
while the liberty of
conscience remains~
the first ray of 
warmth I inhale. 

When daylight befalls like
tints of tuscan tiramisu,
let me find the strength
to lure pale pigments
of weeping wind~
I’ll be the thread
that untangles unsettling
webs wrapped in 
bitter breezes,
for the king of solace
and I, will become one;
celestially intertwined,
infused in bronze ink,
as one in a million flavors.

Woah, this poem compelled my heart to embark on an aromatic adventure that waltzed in those caramelised scents of caffeinated musings..Gosh! What an impeccable poem my dear Ink..I'm swooning over how you've elegantly combined the dimensions of spiritually and coffee's fervency, together, to paint a meaningful tapestry of healing and grace.. Whilst depicting a higher connected with the ultimate power that reigns in the heavens and also, describing the feelings of soul searching..so much to devour

Your lines flow flawlessly with brightest depths and being poetically rich, as always.. Honestly, that opening part is my favorite and I absolutely love "Invigorating arabica stars within my senses to rise like steamy silhouettes~laced in seraphic aura of lotus chastity…." That's enticing and riveting! "I’ll sketch decaffeinated skies with roasted beans of brunette bliss", "Perhaps, with every sip of espresso, we indulge a scoop of cocoa gratitude" Ahhh, how delicious! Now this made me crave for coffee but sigh, high b.p. is my enemy.. "When daylight befalls like tints of tuscan tiramisu" Brilliant alliteration and wordplay throughout.. Enjoyed reading this! Best wishes for the contest too :)

Your poem is an exquisite journey through the sensory and spiritual dimensions of the experience of coffee. The rich and vivid imagery, combined with the eloquent language, creates verses of sensations and emotions... Opening was sensual but metaphorical.. a masterful ode to the sensory and spiritual pleasures derived from the essence of coffee. The opening lines, with the Goddess of aroma gracing the caffeinated soul, set a captivating and celestial tone..
