Taking a second to look up from my double mocha
with two shots of chocolate syrup,
just the way I like it.
I noticed her honey brown hair
Caught a glimpse
of the world’s most alluring smile
Being that I’m just too cool
to be caught staring
I returned to my mocha
which was surprisingly strong
There was more than enough coffee in my cup,
but I couldn’t help thinking about
that little caramel drop in the corner
that would’ve made my drink a lot sweeter
But I don’t trip over women
no, not me
back to my paper.
back to the mocha
The mocha that I had been craving all day
that mocha
the one that I couldn’t get out of my mind
suddenly sprouted legs,
shapely hips,
pouty lips,
and almond eyes
I was being consumed
consumed by what I had been consuming
as I resumed consciousness,
I caught myself
in full stare
I also found
those delicious eyes
had found their way to me…
