“BLACK COFFEE” by Larry Butterworth

I want nothing more in this life than to clasp you close, to encircle your curves with my hands, to touch my mouth to yours, to drink in your warm sweetness, to feel you course through my veins, igniting body and mind.

I need you first thing in the morning, I crave you throughout the day.Without you, I am not myself; I am less than the man I could be, I could never reach my full potential. You bring out the best in me—every time. I want you always, everyday, forever. Without you, I’m not sure how Icould go on. I would—I’d try—I wouldn’t die… but I don’t even want to contemplate about how painful our break would be. Withdrawal symptoms?  Please, no. Let others weep their losses.

At night sometimes I come to find you; I’ve memorized the way to you even in the darkness, and I never trip anymore. Your very aroma soothesme, filling my soul with a serenity that I’ve sought elsewhere yet have been unable to find. I know, as long as you’re there, I’ll be fine. Everything will be okay.
Dear full coffee cup, I love you so!
