He has eyes like coffee 

and cream swirling in his cup. 

He doesn’t smile all that often, 

but when he does it’s just as sweet

as the coffee on his lips. 


He twirls a pen between his fingers

over cream-colored paper 

as he sips his warm latte

that matches his skin, 

soft caramel and warm espresso. 


He watches the rainy morning

while he sips his coffee

and flips through a book.

He is anything but mindless

in the empty café.
