Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Morning Coffee

in my dream of dreams
i wake so gently
nudge you as you sleep

the caress to tantalize you
aroma seductive in the air
café au lait brought to your lips

secretly how I long to be
the sprinkle of sugar in your cup
the jam on your croissant
your morning ray of sunshine

o how I long to be
the spark of joy
upon your smile

It is a crisp 53 (F) here in Texas. Reading your poem adds to the cozy feel of the warm house in sweater weather. And the picture is the perfect complement. :)
