Tease Poem by Kyrgiakos Punnilathil

Oh! What evil magic,
that enchanting scent.
It pierced my nostrils
wherever I went.

One whiff and I was hooked,
like a fish with no chance.
She had me for life
locked in a devil's trance.

I must surrender,
I must succumb.
Or I'll pine forever,
until my heart goes numb.

oh! madness!
I'm losing my mind,
I stare into her dark-eyes
my body is in a bind.

I take one sip,
and the tension eases.
Coffee is definitely,
one of God's greatest teases.
