Short Decaf Poems

Dalmatian diva dressed deliberately for dinner
Displaying delicate dainty polka dots, to try and look thinner
Drinking deliriously delicious decaf, starring at a Doberman grinner
Deciphering a designer’s dreamy design during her delectable dinner...

I bought myself a "Tassimo"
to make special coffees at home.
Skinny latte's and chai teas
with heaps of frothy foam.

No more trips to the coffee shop
to indulge my coffee obsession.
Specialty coffees are right at hand,
its my new favourite possession.

Cafe' creme, or decaf
and latte's by the score.
So many types to chose from,
my morning coffee's never a bore....

Don't be bitter baby
You're the one I love
And I know how to sweeten you up

I swim into you
My dreamy brown 
Steamy queen

Pass over my lips
Your tasty effusions on my tongue
Are intoxicating

When you go down
The warmth spreads through me 
And you set my heart to racing

Too bad that's the reason why
My doctor says I have 
To switch to dull, lifeless decaf...

A girl rotting
A girl alone

She is still for hours
She is still forgotten

A girl downtrodden
A girl down on her luck 

She is drunk on misery
She wakes hungover on woe

A girl runs on decaf
A girl sleeps away

She is ruined by the hope
She is stuck on pause

A girl with thought and drive
A girl without a way

She is shell of routine
She is but a memory

A girl running out
A girl ill with frustration

She is I
She is me

My heart's hinged door forcefully burst
But the instant coffee I owned was decaf!
My eyes died, parched of thurst,
My tearless decision was just to laugh.

These beatings last forever,
But I find your love is pain.
Drag me up the stairs; together...
Black eyed me, bruised with you again.

Hobbling always, resilient is me.
Keeping each beat with heartfelt rapidity.
Time never winds down, failing to free me.
So blowing blood out my nose~ I'm endless stupidity!

'I'll build a nest in your hair' / and plant some little trees in your garden / so don't despair // and when the morning is up at your windows / I'll be the musk scent in the breeze blows // your eyes will water the tiny forest / thinking of me hidden in that hairy nest // I'll bring your coffee and my decaf / you'll light a cigarette and I'll cough / for both the trees and on your behalf // cause you are the lyrics of this silly song / don't tell me what's right as I don't know what's wrong...
