Cappuccino

Espresso yourself to me, fill my cup.

Steam me longer, make me stronger.

Extra froth please.  Who knows where this will lead?

Sugar?  No thanks, your syrup is muy dulce.

You warm me up AND chill me out.



When I stir you, your flavors swirl around...

float up to me and lure me near.

Your aroma is so sincere.

You are most satisfying right here,

but I'll take you to go...if you insist.



DON'T PUT A LID ON IT!

HAhhaha.....i enjoyed this ~! Literal coffee terms, but laden with so much metaphorical meanings behind...Smilesz...most skilfully done, Geneva. I especially like the 'extra froth, sugar, and swirling flavors',Hahaha. Very interesting theme ,once again. Smilesz. and btw, i prefer Earl Grey tea......perks me strong enough..hehe. Espresso rockets my spirits too high, too far , too wild. :@)
