Answer 2

I just looked, but there are no poems on my coffee, sorry.

Answer 3

No poems...but there's a great jazz-era song "Java Jive." Lots of groups have covered it, including Manhattan Transfer. Lyrics are not stellar, but the song is fun.

Answer 4

1)cold coffee


just an hour ago
you were hot
and your flavor
was driving me nuts.
i am sipping you cold
from my cup,
you don’t taste like before,
you do not.


cold coffee
can be warmed up,
yes indeed,
or it can be dumped –
i can make a new pot,

but

why don’t i feel
the need?

i still want you
despite what you are,
there’s this something
that gives me a lift.
i still need you,
but something’s not right,
like “for sure”
turning into “what if”.

just the warmth of my hands -
not enough,
just the touch of my tongue -
incomplete.
chalky taste in my mouth
like your bluff
i still swallow,
so bitter, so sweet.

Silently,
He smiles to himself,
As he thinks of her,
Sitting alone in her kitchen,
Sipping coffee.
She thinks of him too,
But little does he know it.
Shamefully,
Both pass each other every day,
Without passing on the knowledge,
Of their inwardly turned love.
Time and time again it happens,
For who has the courage to say it first,
Or do they just enjoy,
Their secret love affair.
