a coffee catastrophe
I needed coffee and wanted it hot
Grounds in the filter, water in the pot
Pressed the button to start the brewing
Fed the cats to stop their mewling
Bleary eyed and half asleep
I sat on the couch and waited for the beep
Finally, It was ready and so was I
I needed a cup on the fly
I didn’t notice the brown river on the floor
or on the counter and dripping off the cabinet door
i slipped and flat on my back I fell
knocked the wind out of me, bloody hell
to add insult to bruising injury
the cats are drinking the coffee instead of me!

The Junky to her Addiction
Your flesh on my tongue, I do love to taste
not one drop of your blood dare I to waste.
My life, by your mere presence enlightened
my thoughts, my senses at once are heightened.
In you I find comfort, and all that is right
you are there in the day and also at night.
You are my salvation; you ease all my pain
in you I trust, in you my faith remains.
You are there for me in my darkest of hour
it is from you that I draw all of my power.
Some may doubt you, may miss you allure
but when my cup runs empty again I shall pour.
When I found you it was as if I had wakened from a dream
your dark, rich flavor mixed with a hint of cream.
