Just a Coffee Cup

Over Coffee
Over Coffee

 

I have heard a many chatter

Seen each character

Some in loneliness desolve

Couples trying hard to resolve

Then there are those who always laugh out loud

And the women glamorous fake a pout

Couples whisper over me sweet nothings

Hours spent by some over writings and readings

A harem of women come to gossip

Not watching the words as they sip

Of all my favorite is a couple old

Abundance shared but words few told

They sit across holding hands trembling

Smiling and loving the life’s rambling

I hear all pretty close up

It all happens over me, a coffee cup!

This is for my bestie Hiri, she messaged me yesterday asking me to write on a coffee cup! For you my babe!

  1. Thanks Shweta and Hiri for this Coffee Cup. It reminds me of the beautiful memories I had over coffee with someone special….”women glamorous fake a pout” 😉 😀 ‘The old man holding a trembling hand’ reminds me of The Notebook coffee shop description. Great job Shweta (Y)

    1. Thanks Ravish. Hiri did pull me out of the serious stuff I was continuously posting without a smile, you know what I mean. Plan to keep this momentum on 🙂

  2. Simply awesome…took me down memory lane of my life…The way you have penned the lines I guess many people will relate to it…Rock On!!!

    1. Thank you Ekta, I had clicked this when I was sitting at a coffee shop in Paris reading the book. Nothing like travelling alone with coffee and a book 🙂

    1. So right Sunaina, I remember the last time I was in India and met her, we met at 10 am for a coffee and then hopped for lunch and then again a coffee in the evening and just chatted so much 🙂 Thank you so much for your appreciation.

  4. Awesome poem Shweta! Just love it! Recently came to know about a new Kannada movie ‘Parapancha’ based on similar weaving of stories of various people at a bar… After virtually visualized the movie through your poem, eagerly waiting to watch the movie…

    1. You know babe, I love the references you give of Hindi poetry. In fact I still remember the kavita book you had shared on your site 🙂 I wish i would have read these in my school days, i was busy learning Marathi lol 🙂 and now well you don’t say thank you to best friends so I would say with all rights always be there with me 🙂

    2. I know one thing i am going to do when i meet you next babe, I want to take down the names of all the beautiful work in Hindi that you have read and liked. I have so much to know still 🙂 Now if you re read the poem, can you not feel the same when we met over coffee 🙂
