I Like My Coffee...Like I Like My Man

I like my coffee
Like I like my man

Black
Strong
Robust
Full of flavor
Lively
Deep
Vibrant
Hot
Steamy
With more caffeine
Than a drug dealer

That wakes my senses
And brings me alive

I like my coffee
Like I like my man
Exotic
Addictive
Potent
Lingering in my thoughts
Long after the initial introduction

Sturdy
Balanced
With definition
And variety
Chameleon like
Having the ability
To blend in any environment
Yet never looses it originality
Nor its essence

I like my coffee
Like I like my man
Giving me the “lift” I need
To make it through the day
Under any circumstance
So addictive, that I find myself
Wanting…..needing
Just a taste of him
Several times a day

I like my coffee
Like I like my man
First thing in the morning
After a shower
And sometimes before
To “wake” up my senses
And bring me alive
To journey on my way

Black
Strong
Robust

Vibrant

Yeah......
That’s how I like him.

360

He walked by….. I stopped…. Did a 360….. Thought ..Damn! This man is hot I don’t know if it was the pheromones Or my hormones But its got me Trippin over my own thoughts I stood there for a minute Thinking how I’d like to let him in it He turned back… Did a 360….. Saw me standing there Shit!….I froze I don’t know what to do Thought about giving him the digits And I wanted to kiss him too! He walked closer I started to sweat Felt the commotion going on in my underpants Then I saw his smile The gleaming in his eyes It was like this man was sending Sound waves of shock up my thighs My stomach did summersalts My heart raced a bit My body started to tremble Damn! Was he the shit! He held out his hand To offer his greeting I tried to return the move But I couldn’t… I lost my grove Hello… he smiled again I felt like I was caught up in a whirlwind Hello….I replied Not knowing what else to do I tried to play it off Didn’t want to l...
