A Coffee Moment

Undone in the morning,
Sleep through 'til one
yearning for an afternoon Amaretto Folgers,
and an afternoon fantasy...
Covered in you
and hazelnut creme colored sheets,
Sliding...
in-between thoughts
of your fingertips
sliding...
across vanilla-scented creamy skin
I call mine
as I want you to be called
(But I'd use your name in bed)
Making me hotter
than the water
seeping down the filter
into french-roasted coffee grounds
Turned on
to automatic drip
as my mind filters
into images of your eyes
dark brown grounds
paralleling the ones currently being tasted
by the tongue
mentally tasting yours...
There is no equal in you
yet there is in my cup
filling in for the physical sweetness
the mind currently savors,
but the body craves
Never wanting the taste to stop
or you
nor the image of us
enjoying the delicious sweetness
of each other...
Can't decide which I want more
Both good to the last drop
stirring my senses
to savory boiling points
no wonder I need a second cup
and another nap
