Social Butterfly: “Cup of beans…”

(another shot of espresso in between, Social Butterfly and I had a long conversation once again, and this time around, what I got from “SB” are collections of poetic thoughts. we spoke in the manner of verses and phrases, and I love it. i asked permission to post some here after recording every word through writing…”

“Cup of Beans”
By: Social Butterfly

I used to sit here every morning with you,
we’ve spoken about anything and everything in lieu
of life and love and bittersweet moments in between,
you’ve listened to me ramble,
plead,
saw me cry and weep.
Judgement, never you gave,
Acceptance is all that it takes,
the comfort of solace I usually felt,
in hanging out with you, I always feel complete.

Our temporary conversations seems to be life-long,
Our intertwined hands can’t seem to let go,
of all the stories that passed I can’t choose one to forego;
for every detail of those moments
are permanent in the currents,
of my heart… as it beats 24/7ths..

There was a time that addiction got me,
over you and hanging around almost seven times already.
I felt alive and almost always ready,
to face the world head-on – smart and witty,
but then afterwards.. it dawned on me,
I became dependent on your presence with “ME”
Without your support it seems I cannot move on,
appetite has been lost to face life head-on.

Oh how I wish to turn back the time,
into having you in my life side by side
in silence…every “morning sunshine delight”.

Withdrawal sets in, and one day I decided;
to let you go gradually and heard musical angels chided;
Those years which passed having you rooted inside,
allowed me to pursue my dreams which are green, white and blue…
But, then letting you go is something I must
keep on doing up until everything is just,
your warm presence in my life peaks up
back into one single cup every “morning sunshine delight”

My assurance for the stories stored in my personal heart
of conversations and capsules we held once so tight,
now I sit back here with you in the light
every morning cherishing our days of addiction and reality bites.

Thank you for coffee beans, for everything you have done,
sharing My own life with ME everyday on the run
Those conversations are safely kept in my heart,
provided me wisdom which I turned into a beacon,
taught me to express myself into this abyss of expression…
gradually…rolling freedom directly off my own depression…
