The Morning After









Coffee flavored kisses 


Melt on her lips 


as she wakes up


to a throbbing temple 


next to a warm body

A frisky evening with



Jack Daniels for company


seemed such a good idea 


at that time


not so much now.

Passing out on your 

much anticipated first date

is not a cool thing


Grateful now for a strong brew


swirling with impish smiles


armload of kisses


wedged between warm hugs


she allows herself to breathe

Irish coffee may not be




the best recommendation 


for the morning after, but


all is well that ends well
