They say they like

The Americano

Rich smooth dark

Its color

A booming black

Its essence

A chaotic craze

 

It sends signals

Through my spine

To my mind

I must acknowledge

The tempting times

Forced to consider

A wishful bind

 

It’s down right

Seduction

Yet the heart longs for a

Deeper gratification

Contentment

Hungry

For the roasted

Umber

      I’m glad that you enjoyed it! Instead of writing lengthy poems, I tend to write short pieces where I’m able to fully give my attention to each word.
