Espresso

Too early in the morning
To be looking this damn good
I haven’t even had my coffee yet
And yet, you’ve given me a shot of espresso
Should keep me going all damn day
If that ain’t enough
I’ll just come back for another look
This time you done gon add
Some of your sweet brown sugar to the mix
It’s all my heart can take with this sugar rush
Save some for later…cause I’ll be back for more
The things you can do to a man
And you ain’t even trying
Just imagine if you smiled my way-imagine that
Just imagine that...

(For some reason I was thinking of Harlem and the poets of that generation and wanted to write something in that flavor.)
