I've never been the best
at making coffee.
I have a moment every now and then.
I pour, and I watch it swirl.
You don’t say much
you just sit and wait.
The liquid swirls,
not aware of the weight
of the world.

Hot, fresh,
Full of life
finally, the mug is filled,
and you take a sip
slow, deliberate.
I want to ask you,
but either way, I’ll never know.
Even if it’s the worst cup
you’ve ever had,
you’ll smile and say it’s good.
Either way,
I too will enjoy the space
shared between you and I,
and brew another ***
just for you.

remnants of the day
scatter across the table like fallen petals
stories bounce from my lips to your ears
thoughts from your mind pinprick the sky
flooding the night with a soft light
the rhythm of our laughter washes over us
erasing the chaos of the day
and just for a moment
our quiet love calms our weathered souls
Kyla Duncan May 2018
every fleeting moment
of an accidental touch
a stolen brush of fingers
grazing skin
of eyes met across a room
of whispers
of secrets
shoots a thrill through me
because it brings me closer to you
