Coffee Kisses



As longing brings me vis - a - vis
with love declared by latte art,
I can't resist your frothy heart.

I hear your percolating hiss
fill clinking cups to raise a toast
in honour of your mellow roast

Seduced by your demitasse kiss
I savour your crisp fragrant nip
so sweetly hot as glass meets lip.

I stare into your dark abyss
watch milk and water intermix
anticipating caffeine’s kicks.

What a bouquet! you never miss!
you have the power to revive
bringing all my senses alive.

About this poem

I wrote this to express my love of coffee, it’s my first attempt at a Constanza.
