For Coffee, for Love

Under cozy cover,

Windows frosted opaque.

Only for my lover,

I venture out to coffee make.

 

But alas in bed I tarried,

For this poetic diversion.

She asked "did the man i married

have  a bohemian conversion?"

 

"What happened to my capitalist?

Defender of the cave.

So engaged in literary bliss,

T'is an odd way to behave."

 

"Sing-songing your words,

In verse and clever rhyme.

Like delicate spice and subtle herbs.

Or the sages throughout thyme

But I warn thee, be not delayed,

My coffee for to make.

For those vows we once relayed,

Covered-not this grave mistake!

 

In mid-verse to pause I must,

This poetic treasure trove.  

And with greatest haste, raise dust,

For coffee* and for love.

 

*Technically for cappuccino, but still for love
