Every morning when you wake up or every time you open your eyes from a nap, COFFEE & SUGAR isn’t it great to breath deep and yawn, knowing that you are here for a reason? And celebrate it in a cup of coffee and a table spoon of sugar. When a thing is to be done and everyone else says it cannot be done, you smile and breath and wake as I offer you a choice of chocolate or strawberry cake with a cup of coffee and a table spoon of sugar. When your one true love left you alone and all its reasons are unknown, don’t fret, don’t worry, don’t stutter. Because soon, all these will be replaced with laughter in a cup of coffee and a table spoon of sugar. When the night is cold and pitiless, all I need from you is a simple request. Every suffering will ease. I assure that all the pain will cease in a cup of coffee and a table spoon of sugar. “Life is a cycle”, and once stopped my turn from where you came, you shall return but this wasn’t the scene I was expecting when I can see my body and I wasn’t waking. Everyone else had a cup of coffee but they were drinking without me. There were tears in their sore, tired and sleepy eyes They were telling me their sad goodbyes. I couldn’t respond, I was asleep, or was I? I was watching from afar, looking at my life in a cup of coffee and a table spoon of sugar. BY LUNA JOY
