Coffee Maker

,

It must be serious, he brought over the coffee maker
He must be planning on going, seeing, sleeping, and waking up with her

Bringing a toothbrush doesn’t hold much weight
You can place that in your pocket and leave when it’s too late

To even leave articles of clothing isn’t as serious
Those can be hard to miss when both parties end up furious

To bring their coffee maker imples investment
There will be time spent to flood the place with coffee scent

That cheap appliance insinuates the building of a home
The house contained senseless sex, but love is being cultivated and then some

Bonding over a cup of coffee, thinking of the night prior
Filled either with love or sex or dreams of being rescued in a tower

Bringing a coffee maker is more than going steady or just talking
You’re now thinking of growing old with them… It’s longevity you’re stalking

    I never thought about it like this! The Coffee maker is definitely the initial indicator of creating a home. I like it!

    I came across this poem still in my email. It creates such a vivid and cozy scene. I love the ebb and flow of your writing, each one is a short story taking me to my own imagined place. 🤗
