Idea of Coffee

the little girl
never tasted coffee
for it scared her to think
if it won't be as good as
her idea of it,
her poetry would bear
the consequences of it
and she won't be able
to pour the sweet taste
of her heavenly coffee
along with its trailin' steam
into her words
ever again
so the little girl
lived with the idea of it
and never tasted coffee
in her real life
for she knew that
poetry was not a thing
as physical as herself
instead it was somethin'
that existed beyond
the realm of physique
and only visited
when ideas felt more real
than the reality itself

oh that silly little girl!
she would sacrifice
the taste of coffee
for the idea of it
because that little girl
loved poetry
more than her cravin'
to feel the coffee
inside her veins
so would you call
this madness?

well, you may
with all the wonder
residin' in your heart
because, my pal,
you might not know
but the little girl knows
with absolute belief
that poetry is nothing
without madness

Author's Note

This poem is about Hazel herself. She's never tasted coffee in her real life because she doesn't want to shatter the idea of it that she's nourished inside herself for years. So many people found this really strange and she decided that she must put it in a poem to explain it better. She hopes that she succeeded. What do you think? =)❤

Love, Hazel *-*
