"coffee and cologne"

"coffee and cologne"

coffee and cologne

you and me

flesh and bone

with craving

quench of thirst and tongue

while from the sky

dark clouds hung

$2.10 he said

will buy you drink

but quench your soul

i do not think

for what you seek

you can not buy

sweet touch of lip

and gaze of eye

Tangled hearts

fingers entwined

and for that tiny moment

you were mine.
