Over A Cup Of Coffee Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

OVER A CUP OF COFFEE
Melvin Banggollay
Philippines

Over a cup of coffee
roasted with humility
Let's talk and be merry
as I weave poetry
entwined with melody
of sweet sweet memory
of you just and me.

when I couldn't sleep
I sipped coffee so deep
to relieve boredom's beep
inside my body's creep
till new morning peep
upon my eyes that weeps
as memories never sleep.

But never a cup of coffee
can erase your memory
deep in the mind of me
for I missed you truly
and I wish in my dream
I will behold your cream
of gentle touch's beam
on the day of Halloween
in thy grave I've been
since you left us then.

God, upon thy palm I pray
take my Dad in your glory;
I wish, I'll be there someday
to embrace my daddy.
