If we were having coffee ...



If we were having coffee
We would sit across
With a cappuccino and a cold coffee

If we were having coffee
It would be from a handshake to mundane things of world
From black hole to simple blessings
From fears to real-time happiness
From loneliness to death

If we were having coffee
We would travel the world with conversations
With each sip, our forehead creases will be smoothened
Shoulder stiffness is eased
And smile makes its sneak peek onto our lips

If we were having coffee
It would fill our souls till we drift off peacefully
With our thoughts and words making their way to universe
Hoping to cross the oceans and reach us.



 I am taking part in The Write Tribe Festival of Words #6

  10. With so many extremes to chat about and since it is the drink for the soul, I hope your coffee lasts for a lifetime. I am a tea person but am happy to join you over a cup of coffee. Since the weather today in Bangalore is cold, I would prefer that cappuccino :)
