Coffee Grinds
by Laurie Kolp
Naive eyes stir raw emotion

within her troubled heart
as coffee’s soothing aroma
percolates a passion, a yearning
that pours through her weary soul,
and she is blinded by a mirage
of disappearing images-
his irresistible face,
his mocha-like hair,
his sweet plump lips-
showered in a rain of pain,
and their love transforms
into puddles of muddy grind.

Poem of sorrow.
I’ve enjoyed looking over your blog. I came across it through another blog I follow, and I’m glad I did. I am now a follower of yours as well. Feel free to look over my blog and perhaps become one as well.
