COFFEE AND CIGARETTES
Hot brewed coffee
To take my stride
Upon the drifting tide
Laying back in a Turkish café
There’s nothing really left to say
Feeling untied
And striding along an easy ride
Freshly ground beans
Lift a rich aroma to my nasal
To the cup I become bent
Roasted to perfection
With its golden crema on top
Oh, it’s sweet sailing to the opium den
Feeling Zen
Taking lip with a soft pack
Pulling a cigarette by the teeth
Lighting up with a match
Waving off the hazel flame with a Thai chi motion
A gentle inhale
Oh, the tobaccos simmering sensation
Leaves me in a virtuous nest
Displaced in my centre crest
Dismissing all things off my chest
Now, finally I can rest
As steaming clouds rise above the brim
The cigarette left dangling atop the ashtray
I lean back with a soft sigh
For a moment I go off course
And simply
Just simply
Let the moment take me astray
