Coffee Shop, Hub Of Love... Poem by Sebastian Melmoth

Scents of coffee beans linger in the air, with cakes stacked neatly in a row
Crowds of people sitting at chairs in full conversational flow

Atmospheric chatter the human exchange confiding in each other
Relaxed, divulging our daily trials over a nice warm cuppa

Ques building at the counter awaiting in anticipation to start their coffee adventure
Feel the hustle and bustle each person with a unique story to tell that is my conjecture

Signage romances the mind with all the latest offers
Tempted for extras will have to check my pockets and count the coffers

Smiles on servers faces wishing you a heartfelt hello as they offer you some chocolate sprinkle
Barista machine frothing the milk, filling the cups, the skill leaving the customer with a twinkle

Background music easy listening soft on the consumer ears
Jazz, classical or just songs you haven't heard in years

Different chairs each with their own secret agenda
Some wooden hard for those five-minute stays, others so comfy you can sit in them for days, or maybe just a little back support for my Aunty Brenda

You look at your friend and know you are fine
You look up at the clock and didn't realise the time

As you leave this coffee shop, hub of love, that keeps you sane
You look back with tenderness in the pleasure that you know one day you will be back again.
