I sit on the terrace at the ''Jeff's coffee ''
And I I watch life go by ,
beckonning me to follow it ,
between concrete tropics
and asphalt trade winds ...
the human comedy weaving
stories from the fleeting moments...
Dazed passerby who think you always
have time and leaves in your wake
a thousand masks-like so many messages
that no one picks up ...
At the ''Jeff's coffee '' there's no past ,
only destinies ...
The city shadows compose rhapsodies
on weary cobblestones .
some would like to regain human face
and wake up on a distant forgotten island ...
On the terrace at the '' Jeff's coffee ''
I watch love pass by ...
You will be late again next summer
and if you ever feel like coming up to me ,
what would I have to say to you ?
It's always the same with these old acquaintances
who took away for fear of having to recognize you...
There are some urban misunderstandings that leave
a bitter aftertaste of trivialities ...
I am just waiting for my white lady of solitude .
The '' Jeff's coffee '' is always open
for the midnight's visitors...
In the riddle of a lungo I would read the omens .
And finally would I find the words ...

Hey Lorenz am I suffering from deja vou?
I ran some technical issues so I decided to start over from scratch .
Beautiful poem!
After all, not every one of life's mysteries is meant to be solved — some are just meant to keep us company over a cup of coffee.
I like to have my coffee with lady solitude .
Lorenz, what I enjoyed most here is the way observation and longing weave together throughout the piece. The city is full of movement, faces, and chance encounters, yet there is also that quiet search for something deeper beneath it all. Thoughtful and evocative, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
the state of pure absence in the fulness of the moment .
