A ritual

Lorenz

Of my quiet mornings, 

you are ,coffee ,

the bitter solitude,

black inspired  expression, 

quick evasion, before returning 

 to the prison of  hours ,

coffee  sorcerer and my jailer ...

Flavour  of seasons ,that I glean

from the gaze of a girl  lost in life

that I love the instant of an atoll

somewhere in winter ...

Small faithful  coffee ,what's new ?

In front of a cup lmmersed 

in its  melancolia ,

Dr Freud makes an appointment 

with  anonymity ...

 Coffee ,my jolly  coffee ,

so desired ,and so quickly consumed ,

are you telling me the  truth ?

Augur in a porcelain cloud, 

aroma 's subtle  divinity ,

 tempo  di Roma ...

   what kind of interbreeding 

  is  my body made of  ?

Italian or African  seeds  ?

frenzied samba or sleepy  tambora ?

Coffee,your time-honoured ritual

makes me scorn the scents of Ceylon ...

And my day begins ,just as an empty mug

reminds me  of my  worries ...

I deposit my obolio in the neural system

of the smiling  high priestress ...

 See you tomorrow  kind genius  !

    When the shadow of loneliness envelops, the aroma of coffee becomes closer than anyone else.

    • Lorenz

      Philosophical thought wrapped in poetry !

    • Bella Shepard

      There is the anticipation, the preparation, the waiting as it brews and fills the air with its tantalizing aroma, and finally the drinking which is pure heaven. It caresses the brain and induces euphoria. What's not to love? Incredible presentation of this beloved, seductive stimulant. Would love another cup!

        Timeless moment and meditation ...
