Coffee Cup Poem by Majdoleen (Maggie) Sukayri

Look at me as I crumble inside
Thinking of the unsung heroes of my life
This world is my destiny
Horizon, a line between us and what's beyond.
To think it only takes moments, no seconds, to have it all turn around

What I've got inside my head.
I'm losing grip and I'm falling
From this self-indulgent gaze for the outside
How does this fascinate the mind
When all this evaporates, when
I see your face in my coffee cup?
Sugar coated memories lie in the skies
Keys to times earth's rotation erased.
Are you ready for what's to be thrown at us?
We walk on that thin line between love and hate.

What's here at the borderline that fascinates the eye?
A stolen moment of thought and you see…
We comprehend the outside, but what's inside?
We question ourselves of what's beyond
When what's within is still unknown.
We ask of the Great and the Divine.
When the answer's simply in my coffee cup…
