OVER A CUP OF COFFEE
The Young Sun of the winter morning
Convex rays from the golden bowl
Love request to be seated in the lawn
With taking the taste of coffee in fun.
Foggy vapors exhale and disappear
We feel the warmth of inner heart
Smile at each other with acquainted ever
Forgetting the painful afternoon’s fear.
Curved glossy edge of the printed cup
Is placed on the wrinkled but soft lip
Electrifies the chest of boneless tongue
The flow of hot water makes us young.
Sweet hot drink is the open treasure
The trembling hands stretch to hold
Dearly pulled to offer a warm kiss
Another bond of relation; not to miss
Not a mere cup of hot sweet water
A long relation since young age
Forgetting the coldness of winter
The lawn witnesses not the other.
