INSPIRATION OVER A CUP OF COFFEE

"INSPIRATION OVER A CUP OF COFFEE"

My mind is alert, my heart melancholic

mixed emotions that evaporate

with the steam of my fresh cup of coffee

in search of the evasive inspiration.

Like crazy, with a few strokes of my pen

I capture the essence of my feelings and thoughts.

For lovers in the world

this is the best time of the year

is Christmas time

there are love and peace everywhere.

For poets like myself

is also good time

our bodies are here on earth

our minds are wondering the universe

trying to capture the best word, the best line

prose or poem,

so our soul could rest

knowing that we are also the best lovers in the world

we love life, nature and fantasy

and we won't rest until our work is done.

My coffee is cold

the music of Ana Cirré is just right,

my mind is back from the short trip

my heart still empty.

My emotions still mixed

I'm trying to think, to organize, to create.

Now my mind speaks to me

softly, gently "let it go"

the muse is gone

It will be back, when the time is right

when the mood is suave

and the coffee fresh and hot,

when you are relaxed and with your eyes closed

think and fly again to the universe

where all the poets, singers and writers

fall in love over and over again.
