Stressed
anxious
nervous
the three Greys shadowing in greens
an addiction
to relieve the pains
a sublime taste lingers
over the cold tongue that it tastes
the one
a bitter as it lace
A strong flavour to senses
bringing the mind back to its train
when all seem strained
they say a lot can happen
happen over a cup of coffee
with some cookies on plate
but simply coffee
or tea
brings back the trained mind
to relax
maybe an addiction
playing with mind
playing with tongue
hitting the nerve with bitterness as it please
the rolled leaves
the crunchy beans
mixed with lukewarm water
plays with aroma on streets
a book to cover beside
telling its tale overnight
of the warriors who fought
of the battles they lost
yet determined to fight
the tale of tea, coffee and book beside
with cookies bringing sweetness in life
a normal evening waving to goodnight
another day running in cold mess
rushing with moving hands of clock
ticking it’s own time….

Great poem! All we need sometimes is a good cup of coffee (or tea) and a good book to sponge up the dark nights. Nicely written! 💖👍☕
Thanks dear reader
Maybe the book maybe choice
Or maybe a necessity for the coming projects
Who knows
While the tea/coffee the accompanying partner in the race
Relax, have a nibble on that cookie - all else will wait, there's no enemy at your door - except time and the bosses' whip..... but for now, read a page or two.... relaxation calming you... you'll feel much better.... how about that resignation letter... or a snooze by the river.... a downstream day comes highly recommended
That’s a great advice
To resign is luxury
To visit the downstream is a fantasy
And to sign the face of boss is courage
Looks like I lack all of them
But I truly enjoyed the downstream
And thanks for a lovely reply dear dusk
Must admit, I think the world would end if coffee disappeared. Tea, on the other hand, us Brits would need to actually work instead of conquering the world with our tea breaks.
Nice distinction dear Paul
Tea for the work
And coffee for the heart
Allows us to live
To breathe the air
Such an addiction
Felt this and more than just about coffee....it's other worldly.....
Thanks a lot dear Lorna
I am glad I could connect with…
Tea, cookies and a book is bliss in our busy lives spilleronsheet and will bring us contentment.
Andy
It indeed is dear Andy
