Coffee
I hope that when you can’t sleep at night,
You connect the dots to the coffee you had,
Late in the afternoon today,
And make a mental note,
To NEVER NEVER touch coffee,
Post lunch, no matter
How tempting it may seem.
I know, your desk was freezing,
With the AC at 18-degree temperature,
A warm cup of coffee looked so innocent,
Perfectly warm to hold,
A comfort to the,
Just-about-to-freeze palms.
The boring 200 pages presentations
You gotta read,
While taking careful notes,
Trying to interpret the chain,
Of debits and credits that flow,
When your brain wants to shut down,
And WhatsApp distracts you every 10 seconds,
A warm cup of coffee,
Never looked so innocent,
Like a spoilt best friend,
You CAN NOT say no to!
Alas, here we are,
Sleepless nights,
Entries in my diary,
Poems dedicated to the culprit,
Someone, someone – PLEASE fix that damn AC.
I do hope to find,
Good friends to keep me company,
Who live in timezones sweet,
Till the caffeine fades from my veins.
To share my agony,
With talks insane.
I apologize in advance,
To all the early morning plans,
I made for the weekend.
Someone just asked me,
What time will you wake up,
Let’s catch up on a call?
Well, it depends on what time,
I get to zzZzzz land.
– Sleepless,
H i m a l i
haha! Yes, NEVER do THAT again. 😉 I can’t drink coffee past 3PM, or it’ll ruin my night’s sleep. I hope that you get some rest soon, Himali. ❤

Same for me! *SamePinch* I was seriously freezing plus the lengthy presentations tempted me. I usually have warm milk with something like Bournvita – ProteinX in the afternoon.
I managed to fall asleep at around 3.30 AM and woke up at 2 PM!

We are all born With a ‘Little’ Flame
That We Either Kindle or Suffocate
in Life that ‘Little’ Flame
is verily more than
an online Book
hehe that
Fire inside is
even more than
Human Will that Force
That Field that Wave that
Particle Water Wave Ocean
Whole is indeed our Flesh and
Blood Heart our Spirit Balancing
Mind and Body Force Soul LoVELiGHT True
NoW When We Kindle our Flame in Balance
the Oxygen of Pure Love Fires our Soul
Higher with Gravity and not the Inertia
That Will Weight our Spirit Down Less
Than Pure Force LoVELiGHT and while
This Might Sound a Whole Lot Like
NeW AGE Psychobabble to Some
The Force within is not Mistakable
When We Find a Way to Flow Our
Soul Force in Zone And Rise
Higher Effortlessly as a
Drop of Water
Becomes
the
Ocean
Whole this is not
Instant gratification this
is No Coffee No Candy Crush
Video Game no Porn Site For
Hours in the Day of Young Men
This is the Flight of Soul the Fire
of Spirit the Flame of Heart that
Never Exhausts the Love that Loves
to Live the Core of who we all are God Soul…
Smiles there are many Ways to attain this Flow
As Higher Force Stream of Consciousness Writing
And Moving Meditation Public Dance Works in Practice For me.. could
be as easy though as a Walk in a Forest You’ve never Been with a Friend or perhaps a Beach…:)

Well, I am not a coffee person. I am tea lover. Coffee is just not my cup of tea.

Haha, too funny, Himali! I hope you could catch up with sleep. For some reason, coffee may support me being more awake during the day but I never had problems going to sleep when I had one later in the day. It never helped me stay awake at night…. perhaps I need to get way past the 50s that this will ever happen… haha.

Oddly, I can drink coffee until 5 minutes before bed and never lose a moment’s sleep. But then I’m an odd person. Cheers!

I feel sleepy after drinking filter coffee. And it is not just me, my cousin too.
Once, we both got extra strong filter coffee by 2. And we felt more sleepy.
I still don’t know for sure if it was the filter coffee or the dosa we had before.
