Short Caffeinated Poems

Today I went out
The instant I first saw him
So caffeinated.....

Seductively sweet aromatic pleasure
Tensing frazzled nerves together
What caffeinated bliss
Is tea

Chai - Urdu word for tea...

Large buttered popcorn 
biscuits and gravy with hash browns
monsters
caffeinated pop 
pot of coffee with cream
 everyone has their kryptonite 
what's yours?...

CRYING CAFFEINATED TEARS

Dee felt dreadfully tired, deep down sleepy.
Drowning her dreams with coffee was creepy.
          She would drink and pour.
          Drink a couple more.
Dee felt dreadfully awake and weepy.

Chivalry kicks in coffee
cup and caffeinated mess
before touch, oh yes
the reminder that covid lasts
such a cute moment - the dash
made me laugh, and stretch
my lips up — those muscles
herculean do trust people
have a great big heart

Schvitzing Dylan
Beads on my brow
Harmonica in my now
Transporting me to this relic's salvation
Needless in its purpose
Selfless in its demands
Except for a grande bow
To the caffeinated queen
Nothing about this screams
Solace and wilderness
Tepid and grounded
But it's the most delicate, lovely moment I've had all day.

FLOURISHING WITH ROSY CHEEKS

bright lights burn
singe my flesh
our hearts aflame

strokes of rays
from north to south
luminary climax

moon-cradled
in my spouse’s arms
splash of serenity

the dawn’s touchdown
taps my feet, flickers
caffeinated candlelight

another day burns
brighter than its ancestor
a relative blush

Break into my life
Lock the cracked door
Slip off your shoes
Your creaking clothes
Sneak into my bed
Uncover my soul
Sweeten the sunrise
Caffeinated yet cold
Caress my regret
Callous naked me
Hold my heartbeat
Broken and in need
Whisper perfume
In ears of neglect
Call convalescence
In stale dusty vents
Wipe my eyes
Estranged with shame
Show me forgiveness
Your face again...

So fat,
the coffee mug
jumping and grinning,
after my flat feet
slap the pergo,
just right cold.

Lifeless hair,
matters not in
waking up.
no lipstick

on the fat rim.
just joy, joy,
joy of the caffeinated 
audience in
my steaming cup
of joe.

jubilation of thought
frothing on the top.
no pressure,
peopleless with pleasure.

the day ahead,
my behind
a treasure.

NIGHTIME BEFALLS,TIME TO GO TO SLEEP
IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE,SLEEP IS SCARCE
THERE ARE TOO MANY TOSSES AND TURNINGS
WORRY LOOMS
EYES ARE WIDE OPEN AND YOU ARE WIDE AWAKE AS IF HAVE HAD A CAFFEINATED BEVERAGE
BRAINS ROAMS

ITS AS IF THE CLOCK HAS STOPPED TICKING
THE WORLD HAS COME TO A COMPLETE HALT
YOU CANNOT WAIT FOR THE ROOSTERS WAKE UP CALL
IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL TAKE FOREVER BEFORE THE MORNING COMES...

the cup, a sip away,
just out of reach,
as i taste
all your poetry —
like sweet danish
to my caffeinated morning.

the cup, just out of reach,
but i’m too excited to read
the lovely confections
in front of me.

my hand longs to grab
the mug’s handle,
but like a cloud
i drift.

finally, i take a sip —
lukewarm at best,
but
friends
you
are 
worth it!

Cars, pedestrians stores 
    The air is not so clean here 
   But there are some great people here 
   People who call it "Zoo York"
are wrong 
Once my life was saved by a stranger here 
Yes, the place still exists 
Yes, it has a heart 
As I sit here in in Dunkin Doughnuts 
   writing 
I see a grandmother with her infant 
I see people drinking caffeinated beverages 
Just another day in the Big apple 
Along with 8 million others 
Some of who write poetry...
