Dreams:The Coffeehouse Effect


The Coffeehouse Effect


05:30 p.m

Enjoy yourself, sir.”

The coffee was warm.

I yearned for warmth.

06:00 p.m

Not a snip of the cookie.

Not a sip of the coffee.

Just a stirring spoon,

Just a secluded soul…

A one-of-a-kind:

Amongst a million love-birds.

06:15 p.m.

Not a word spoken.

Not an eyebrow rose.

Just-a crave for love.

Just a need of a soul:

A soul to adore

A hand to hold.

06:30 p.m

The soothing evening vespers

From the holy chapel near-by…

Accompanied the sly zephyr

Into the coffeehouse.

The Almighty had a solution.

10:50 p.m

Sitting in the coffeehouse,

I Saw the unattended coffee,

The stirring spoon-

But,with a faint reflection-

Of a smiling face,

Of a beautiful soul.

I was living a beautiful dream.

A temporary relief.

This was my first idea for the july contest.While writing the poem,I was stuck with the idea of incorporating humour,so I left this poem incomplete and wrote “Dire Consequences of a dream”.

I must say you have a very different way with words and the way you put down your thoughts. Very different and refreshing. Keep up the good work…

@preeti-curse my luck.I begged to my dad for postponing the delhi trip(last visit to the relatives before they leave).but the tickets were done in tatkaal,which is why they couldn’t be cancelled.The poem I wanted to read in the poetry meet was ready.I wish it keeps raining as it is now and the train gets cancelled.I wrote in the forum that the kota thing was cancelled…

Good you left this out bro for the contest, the dire consequences are a gem….hmmmmmmmmmm frankly speaking, this is a ok stuff not as appealing….

Anyways, keep writing. And I always feel that every poem is different for different people, may be I am wrong.
