The Gods of love decided upon a blend<\/p>\n
Its pleasures were never to end<\/p>\n
So they brought together some cocoa<\/p>\n
And poured on the magic flow<\/p>\n
Its texture was that of sugar and diamonds<\/p>\n
And all shades of espresso sent in their funds<\/p>\n
Some browns and blacks would mate<\/p>\n
And I would brew it at nights late<\/p>\n
Ah! The aroma, how to explain?<\/p>\n
The blessed earth in a deluge of rain<\/p>\n
A dark, mystical, invigorating fragrance<\/p>\n
A little unruly and rustic<\/p>\n
Diligently mystic<\/p>\n
And the taste of a warm, passionate affair<\/p>\n
To say just bittersweet is hardly fair<\/p>\n
For it is a fountain hot and bursting<\/p>\n
The flavor in your mouth, slowly rusting<\/p>\n
Each drop compassionately burning<\/p>\n
Savor it; it is discovery and learning<\/p>\n
With a good book, a tale or two<\/p>\n
By the window, your drink and you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
