Sipping coffee
"This Satan's drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it. We shall cheat Satan by baptizing it"-unknown 16th century
I am baptized every morning
by this rich dark delicacy
the first sip is energizing
a wake up into life
jolting me from the imprisonment of sleep
which has bound me for many hours
the next sip is to breathe in
the aroma of its freshness
invigorating and relaxing at the same time
how can this be -
a cup of darkness
has so much power
