Ode to Coffee

Not sure if it's an ode, I tried to stay as rhythmic as possible. Hope you liked it...

Oh Coffee, for you I bow my head

I crave your aromatic soul

Oh, the pleasure and monumental joy

When the steaming roast enchants my mind

Touched and revived by the sacred brew 

Of long and humid arabian nights,

That are fading into luminous days.

Oh Coffee, you'll be the tears I shed

Single drops of pitch-black gold

Oh, never could my heart be coy

With the mind and soul intertwined

You linger in me, though our moments are few

No need for maps, no need for lights

To you, I'll always find the ways.

Author's Note

I'm sick, got a fever, and I'm practically bound to my bed. What would I do without coffee?

Your writing is top notch with creativity brimming----maybe like the coffee brimming in the cup. Stay creative!

So good that I could TASTE it

interesting how something like a fever can affect our focus and perception. Your caffeine life line offers you hopefully a path to wellness but the human body does its best healing while we sleep. You caffeinated state deprives you of sleep preventing your body to do its best work. I like your poem and the insights it brings but worry about your health and hope you are back on your feet soon. I have just recovered from an ailing hard drive that had me down and off line for over a week, take care my friend and get well soon :~) Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Well done! I get this as will plenty of others. I have to work hard to resist the craving and I don't really want to know how many. Your approach of writing about it quite seriously gives it a nice touch of humour.
Well done

Superb caffiene reverie Omikron. There's nothing like the smell of coffee in the mornings to make us feel "ahhh....".
Get better (not at the writing - you're good - at the wellness)

I agree, I can't properly say I'm awake before my third cup of coffee or so, it's like a ritual. read moreI agree, I can't properly say I'm awake before my third cup of coffee or so, it's like a ritual.
And thank you, still sick but not bed bound, which is nice. Still bound to coffee and aspirin though...

Thanks for stopping by :)

I expect you would have to run to the bathroom less. Caffeine jolts the nerves and soul. Valentine

A beautiful Ode! Yes no maps are required, just the aroma is sufficient, we reach there.
Coffee and Tea, these have the their cast on their lovers. I love both.
Thanks for sharing.

And thanks for reading and leaving such a kind comment. I have a huge tea obsession as well, caffeine will be my death someday... But that day has yet to come :)
