he watched
across red checked
table cloths
her coffee had stopped
steaming now,
cappuccino bubbles
resting proud above the
wide white cup
idly, she dipped into
chocolate speckled
foamy froth,
and withdrew a
dripping creamy splendour;
melting moment
she eye’d her
marbled milk covered finger,
then dragged it
across pink lips,
before taking it
deep inside
her moist mouth,
she drew her head back
slightly, and gently
sucked the tip
she caught sight
of an open mouthed man
across cup strewn tables;
her eyes widened
and she stared directly
at him
he blinked and blushed,
as his cup clattered
and splattered
cold coffee
into his saucer,
and she just flashed her eyes
and curled a tilted smile.
