An Ode to Coffee

Awake on the dot like prompted by a bell
something something Pavlov? I digress, but
What I need to jolt me, as far as I can tell
Is a large brew of coffee with some hazelnut

Add two tiny beads of darkest chocolate
Tucked away hidden behind swirls of cream
More is overkill, this is a refined palate
Coaster's rich purple, with a shiny gleam

This craving does drive a man insane
It's a crazy affliction
I realize as I look upon my carpet stain
I have a canine addiction

That Azure Sea

I sat by the lake shore staring across
Hesitant to even dip my toe in
Afraid it would be cold
Scared I would drown
I am not a good swimmer you see
So I sat there skipping stones
Until I left the shore

Maybe I should have waded in?
Maybe the water was warm all along?
Maybe life vests are overrated anyway?

Now I live by the ocean
It is at the end of the lane
Still searching for that life vest
I am not a good swimmer you know
And also running out of pebbles
