Specialty Coffee

by Nicole D Gregory

It's the aroma you smell
long before you
enter

Exotic Brew
Liquid Velvet

Today was not the day to order
the regular pour and go
coffee

Oh no…
You wanted more

The coffee made from the
finest hand picked beans
grown in paradise
Well rounded ~ Deep roasted
Rich flavor

This time you will request the server
to make it just like you've
heard before by the
GQ regular always three customers
ahead ~ envy no longer
his European accent
and use of an added
dash of flavor
making him the one
you want to be

When he walks out they all
watch

Today it will be you

The coffee that is made in the French press
Poured like a goddess into her dress
Served up so hot that the white steam
swirls slightly above the brim
and curls down ~ warming
the hand with damp kisses

Java and Jazz

The rhythm of the cream
swirls in ~ mouth watering
Bite your lip
just before the pink inner skin
is caressed in a bath of
flavor causing you to shiver

Your tongue finally knowing
that each bud is in full
blossom

Seduction that sneaks up behind you

The rest of the patrons would
watch as you held this beverage
rarely made
Eyes fixed as the Orderer becomes
the accessory
Walking out with such
a hot commodity

Michigan Avenue is jealous
The Magnificent Mile
cannot go on long enough for
the aroma to window shop
Now the vendors all want to
serve the cup holder
It's a great façade
the way the full blend attracts
the senses

Its not an acquired taste
Its everyone's desire

But today the server says "no"”
Not at this time
You're just a regular Joe
