The angle of view
I have been visiting that café for ages and it is also a long time since I have noticed that young man for the first time. He was tall, skinny and dressed in a shirt and tie, sweater and pale brown loose pants. His facial features were sharp with a distinctive big nose and sunken eyes that gave a dark tinge to his quite comical figure. The kid wasn't a Marine, he was too young, too hiccup, and seem to have low self-esteem. Nevertheless he wore a gun, he went to "the Marine Cafe" and he had the stare. The stare I have seen before on my face in a mirror.
I have been seeing this boy almost every day, except a few weeks,
He was holding the cup with both hands now. His hands were shivering. I stared at them, stared at the cup, stared at the tea and its waves trying to float over the edge. Trying but failing – just like him. I didn't know what he was talking about exactly. It was the way he spoke that made me notice he was in a complete mess.
But every time I met him he was in a mess so there was no need to worry. For a reason called politeness I was pretending some empathy and for a reason I didn't know he was talking to me. Time passed and we didn't stop. Time passed and …
“Are you even listening to me?”, he suddenly shouted. Of cours

My true love(Try to guess what I'm personifying!)
You open the door to and a familiar scent fill you. It's warm and strong. You see that dark colored hair and milky brown eyes. You hug him, feeling his hard chest and white shirt against yours. The place is cold, but his chest is warm. How long has he been sitting here waiting for you? You smile up at him and give him a kiss. A sweet and bitter taste fills your entire mouth and you can't get enough. So warm and smooth. The kiss makes your stomach tense and relax repeatedly, giving you chills all over you. You break away from the kiss and he hugs you, wrapping in warmth. You sit down and he kissed your throat lightly, and soon he takes your ha

coffee's sugar
spat on my veins.
her song cried out
name after name
and on their cups
would
speak in inure-
whispers of extra cream
i've never spoken
the language of baristas
but for her
i could speak a thousand
maybe more

its bitter taste;
filling me.
i will wait for her
to call out my name
'tall half and half'
let the
angled heat escape
from me
slowly
(just to kiss her
again.)
Philosophers think
We may dream our reality.
With earphones attached liked IVs
I dream my own melodic universe.
Until someone laughs behind me
And strikes up conversation with a friend.
And in that moment they become my anchor
Are they spinning through my dream
Or am I spinning through theirs?
Sometimes life fits in a coffee cup,
Sometimes inspiration pours out slowly like a packet of honey,
And sometimes it all mixes together
Like liquid incandescence that I drink right after brewing.
When no one speaks to me for hours
I begin to wonder
Is everyone dreaming a reality that includes
The whole café but me?

The Girl at the Coffee Shop
The girl at the coffee shop didn't notice me at first. She didn't realize that I lived right around the corner and that I stopped by almost every day after school to stock up on enough caffeine to get me through my homework, if not the evening as a whole. Sometimes I brought a friend or two along and we'd put our heads together and power through whatever new horror our biology teacher had assigned us that day. But I always seemed to get sidetracked and I'd prop my chin up in one hand and send more than subtle glances in her direction as the girl at the coffee shop steamed milk and stirred lattes, every now and then smiling her gentle, off-han
