When I stare at my black coffee
I see the other side of the universe
A swirling galaxy upon the mirror of space
When I stare at my black coffee
I see the a still lake of darkness
A surface above the bottomless abyss
When I stare at my black coffee
I see a face, haggard and baggy
Unshaven, wired, aflame
The unrecognisable man
I have become











A well written confessional piece. At first I was going for stargazing themes, till it hit me with the last stanza. A touching write! Well done, knight!
Thanks. I love my black coffee. One of the greatest discoveries of human beings.

Powerfully penned, James. Another excellent write my friend. Self-examination can be cathartic at times. Just my opinion. Amazing read. Appreciate you.

Yes I see many things in black coffee. It’s the one thing I will never stop.
Coffee is cathartic

An acquired taste, black coffee is. I can see bittersweet sips rippling through your mind.
Thanks for reading.
Black Coffee is many things. It has a stronger caffeine hit, its healthier for the body, and running out of milk doesn’t ruin your morning like it used to.
Black Coffee is like most things you learn to enjoy it. The world is coated in sugar. Black Coffee is a rejection of sugar.
