My eyes are always heavy.
This Morning I lost my coffee cup,
And this weather is making me sweaty....

The oversized

Plastic coffee cup 

with the plastic lid

says

Caution!

I am hot and wet

Handle me with care

Do not microwave...

did you think him above
for all his love
did you say thinks 
as you blinked
and woke up
with a coffee cup
or did you go and play
DID YOU  PRAY...

Driving but you still pick up.
To be honest you look like a chump;
You chose to answer the phone 
said 'Call back.' then a dial tone;
I hope you drop a hot coffee cup....

On a table 
where I sit and thinking of everything
rolls black balls 
they seem to be running on a string
but it is only a lonely ant
who is looking for sugar in my coffee cup....

Listen to poem:

thunderstorm approaching
coffee cup in hand
with bated breath
i await the sign
you are there
within my reach
and all will be alright

all the headlines
such a bore
yesterday's news
always the same
war, pestilence
earthquake and fire
a baby is born
someone expires
coffee cup in hand
I bring the paper in
wet, from morning rain...

Argh!
Damn phone alarm.
I gulp haste.
I open my school app - like an eyelid.
Invade my sanctuary, virtual tyranny.
Where's my focus?! 
*looking around for my coffee cup*
I feel like a bobble-head....

My coffee cup is empty.
My mind could use refillin'.
God, overflow my heart;
So I can
Do some spillin'.

Please take away my
coulds and wipe away 
my cant's.
I'll walk into a life anew,
First, help me find my pants....

Sir Humpteath Dumpteath sateth on a wall
Poor Master Humpteath tooketh a great fall

Arsenic was foundeth in his coffee cup
Thus here resteths Humpteath - sunnyside UP!

Lipstick on a coffee cup
Perfume on my sheets
Steam upon the mirror
A towel crumpled on the floor
Footprints in my bedroom
Left me pondering 
Aching for more
I miss you this morning
Until then my love 
I’ll wait by the door...

My coffee cup has butterflies and flowers thereon
Not masculine but welcome at the crack of dawn
At 6 o'clock on the dot
Me reaches for the pot
Slurp a joyous mouthful, even delay my tenth yawn

                               My Chihuahua rides with me
                              In his McDonald's coffee cup
                               Right next to me on the seat...

Reflective Soul

the bottom of my coffee cup
swirling darkness
an extinguished cigarette
ashes to ashes
an enormous smile
eroding sculpture
once pounding heart
barely audible
creative mind
dulled by thought

reflective soul........

We revel in our deceptions,
Careen in the mallowness
Of the majolica
That is our life.

There are no truths—
Only deals.

The sky this evening
Seems surreal.

This is art.

We are critics
Of the coffee cup,
Knowing what we like.

Those who do,
Will....

there are clouds in my coffee cup
they hover over a sea murky dark
the forecast is tumultuous at best
this morning's been hazy and
somewhat stir crazy

i drink my coffee but can't shake
these clouds now levitating overhead

A morning looking in a coffee cup,
My soul is asking questions of the heart,
As destiny reveals itself in art,
Should inquiry find truth in crumpled dreams,
And bring the eye to look so gently up,
The heart must be ready to flow soul streams.
