Let my heart gently swim
in the silky warm smoothness
of a creamy chocolate coffee
on a sleepy Sunday morning,
The hours lazily evaporate in the steam.

Let my troubles and my woes sink,
Let my pains melt away this very day,
Let the fresh air sprinkle love’s dreamy spice,
Let the flavours mix in my hot coffee cup,
Let me unfurl the flag of life’s everlasting heights,

Rich, dark, and with a velvet touch,
My lips receive the frothy sweet kiss
and my tongue curls with a pleasure rare,
This is a coffee which will keep me wrapped warm
against the memory of years yet to rain and storm.
