An Absolute Blend

Take a spoon, set it drowning
In this deep powder of black
Take a bit more than enough
And wonder if it is bad


Add a little sugar
For sweetness that won't last
Mix in scalding water
And feel the warmth burn past


Be tempted by the lure
Give in and take a sip
Let the bitterness spread
Close your eyes, it'd be quick


Let it travel through you
Bypass your heart and gut
Let it stay within you,
Conquer with boundless dusk


Now, at the end of it all
Reflections will come speaking,
"But it's just coffee, my dear.
"Dare have another serving?"
