Coffee Shop
So we sat in the coffee shop
Sipping and enjoying the jukebox
We talked a lot and laughed too
Saw the world with blinded eyes
Beckoning the stars and the sun
I smiled, I laughed and liked it too
We talked about this and that
About everything and nothing
Soon the coffee did get cold
And we left to get some more
On the way we lost our seats
I searched and dragged a stool
Eyes scanning, looked over
I couldn’t ever drag you back
You said the ‘coffee was too cold’
And the ‘ambience was killing you’
And you left with not a word
Burnt my tongue with the scalding broth
It stays that way even now
There is nothing you could do
Neither could I think or do
So I sat and looked around
The jukebox played on noisily
That seat of yours unoccupied
No coffee, no broth nor talk
Just silence and then some more
I often think I’ll leave the shop
Go find mountains to climb
Rivers to swim and paddle along
Find me a cloud to sail away
But the coffee there is so good
Old impulses just make me stay
And listen to oldies and newbies
Just wafting out of the jukebox...

Nice poem! Have seen many youngsters sitting and discussion on subjects though the music loud and people around. Guess it’s an inspiring joint.

Blizz,

Good one.
The coffee shop seems cosy enough. What the heck, .those who don't like the ambience can walk away and mountain and rivers can wait. Didn't know caffeine is so addictive.
