love over coffee

the essence steeped

clouding my energy then

overcome

i put down my pen

leather bound journal open

faced in the café i

closed my eyes and thought 

of you

our energies once

commingled here

the pressure of heat on water the

steam submerged in milk

endlessly colored by

coffee how we met eyes

ina non-committal

slightly disinterested

way

i felt you

looking over me i could taste

you tasting me

steeped in me

the essence at first clouded

my energy

then 

then i was

i was

overcome
