The Delight of Coffee

By Hossein Libre

As I get my french vanilla coffee
from the counter,
The sweet aroma
of your heavenly, vanilla goodness
gets in my head
and I can’t stop thinking about you.

As soon as I
take a sip of your precious gold,
I go to the empyrean sky
full of happiness and delight,
with no worries or distress.
But I don’t like black coffee
it’s too bitter for my taste
and too dark for my soul.

 

 Hossein Libre was born in Teheran, Iran but currently lives in the United States in the college town of Rolla, MO. He speaks Persian and English. His dream is to become a soccer player and play for Manchester United FC. He remarkably loves reading and writing, and his favorite books include The Ascendance Trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielsen, The Percy Jackson Series by Rick Riordan, The Summoner Series by Taran Matharu, and Timeline by Michael Crichton. His love for coffee was the base of this poem.
