Dreams: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.

Every cup of coffee is savour is different, just like every poem of yours! Beautiful!
PS - are you in Kota or Mumbai ?(if the latter, them cu at the poetry meet which is tomorrow!)
@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…

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”.
