Dark yet fresh, bitter yet sweet
She shaped it with nimble hands
Poured the black lava in a cup
Swirled a pure white cloud on top
Thorough and quick, quick and thorough
Top to bottom emotions swirled
Cup my heart with cinnamon poured
Hands like angel wings is she
Sweet as mel in nectar dark
Written for PoetsPub (May competition)
