Ethiopian Coffee Kept Me Up All Night

It looked dark and mysterious like the depths of night,
Unpolluted by milky whiteness,
It's smell tempting and dangerous.
One sip to unleash limitless possibilities,
And one sip to ruin all.

There it was, in a mug of innocence,
Just waiting to catch the fool unawares,
To reel you in.
One sip to sink all restraint,
And one sip to lose control.

All the ale in the world paled before it.
It stole away all taste for the finest.
It even denied suffering.
One sip to pleasure the senses,
And one sip to leave you thirsty.

To it, you compare my love,
A drug that has utterly bound me.
The delicious dark, my only escape.
One sip to make me yours,
Until there is no more.

Wrapped up in a monkey suit, One too big for that tiny thing I felt her tiny heart beating And I knew that I loved her.

Romance over the P.C.R machine

I looked at you, and you at me. It was that thing called destiny. It took just one look from you For me to follow out through The door, to our secret place. Where we would have sweet embrace. As we picked out the little ones And set them in lines at once. With the push of a button as it may, We prayed to god to make our day. And as I held your gaze again, I could see that it had begun. Illuminated by the sun, we did seem. Our romance was over the P.C.R machine. -R.R.R
