To all my conquests, past, present and future. <br /> <br /> <br />My coffee cup's a lighter shade of blue this morning. <br />Last night, <br />I transformed you into scalding dark coffee. <br />Now I can pour you into my cup, <br />any time, day or night. <br />Keeping my fingers on the cup ring; <br />I'll sense when to stir, <br />the amount of sugar you need, <br />when to take a sip <br />or let you cool off. <br /> <br />You melted in my voice, low and bright. <br />There's never a honest warning; <br />I'm a short, pudgy brunette, average <br />with great lips and a slight tan <br />to smooth over my thighs. <br />With a sparkle I keep in my eyes, <br />I'm charming, if not venomous, <br />to the man without morals. <br />Quietly, effectively, I show instead of tell. <br />You just didn't realize I've got the right words, <br />the achingly perfect images, <br />the best details <br />and the proper timing <br />for an unbelievable kiss.<br /><br />Delilah Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-lighter-shade/
