Colombian Comrade

It's Alive! Poetic Bloomings weekly prompt

Glance around you and pick something that is lifeless (husbands DON’T count) and personify it. Breathe life into it and make it the hero of your poem this week!

Can there be too much of you, darling?

I suppose only time can tell

You’ve been with me for a long time, dear

And oh, you know me well

Full-bodied, faithful companion

You never disappoint

Rousing easily life’s passion in me

My slumb’ring senses you anoint

Ravishing Colombian lover

Bold, brawny fruit of desire

Rushing through me like an ebony sea

Keening a beautiful fire

While all of life’s vexing indictments

Its pestering perplexities

Dissolve in your glow like the sun-drenched snow

And other minorities

Can there be too much of you, darling?

Life would be cold without you

So I’ll take my chances for your kiss enhances

Everything else I must do

Darling, you know how to please me

Your pleasure I cannot decline

Good morning kiss of Colombian bliss

Coffee, dearest coffee of mine
