Coffee

They put sugar in my coffee,

Unasked, unwantedly

And dulled the flavor.

Suddenly my tongue’s confused;

Having had one love and now another.

My buds are screaming to confess to bean,

This love affair with sugar cane.

I didn’t enjoy it; it was hell, I thought

Of you in ecstasy; I really did,

If only just a moment as I came

Saliva and embraced a mess

And residue so sweet to stick

Beyond my mouth.
