Cup of coffee (I should go to bed)

Inspiration is
my morning cup
of coffee.

Who needs caffeine
when you're scrambling for pen and paper
as the words rush rush rushrushrush out –

Well, truthfully, it's never in the morning
anyway
(I can barely function before 10 am).
It's always around midnight,
as the stars dance outside the window,
and
suddenly a phrase comes to life –

Well ...
I might need a cup of coffee
in the morning
if
writing keeps me up
all night...

    You said you would give me
    Anything
    to see me smile,

    And of all the things 
    you could give,
    you chose
    Insanity.

    I'm crazy for you,
    tripping over my own words
    as my heart twists itself

    Amber eyes
    meet deep, stunning brown

    I’ve never noticed
    Amber
    looked like
    crackling embers
    falling down

    like rich, warm honey
    falling through the cracks;
    autumn leaves
