I have heard a many chatter
Seen each character
Some in loneliness desolve
Couples trying hard to resolve
Then there are those who always laugh out loud
And the women glamorous fake a pout
Couples whisper over me sweet nothings
Hours spent by some over writings and readings
A harem of women come to gossip
Not watching the words as they sip
Of all my favorite is a couple old
Abundance shared but words few told
They sit across holding hands trembling
Smiling and loving the life’s rambling
I hear all pretty close up
It all happens over me, a coffee cup!
This is for my bestie Hiri, she messaged me yesterday asking me to write on a coffee cup! For you my babe!

Thanks Shweta and Hiri for this Coffee Cup. It reminds me of the beautiful memories I had over coffee with someone special….”women glamorous fake a pout” 😉 😀 ‘The old man holding a trembling hand’ reminds me of The Notebook coffee shop description. Great job Shweta (Y)

Love the post Shweta and glad to see that coffee can be so meaningful for you both!
So right Sunaina, I remember the last time I was in India and met her, we met at 10 am for a coffee and then hopped for lunch and then again a coffee in the evening and just chatted so much 🙂 Thank you so much for your appreciation.
Wow that was an awesome poem, great use of words, I wish I could write as fluent as you do.
Of course you can, just give it a try Vikram am sure it will be awesome.
No wonder coffee day calls it – anything can happen over a cup of coffee.. Beautiful poem Shweta :).. It captures almost all the emotions I have gone through at a coffee shop 🙂
Am so happy you related to the emotions in the poem. Thank you Vinay.

Thanks Hiri for suggesting Shweta this and thanks Shweta for writing dear. What a fine example of Life Poetry. Creating things out of eveyday’s colloquial instances.

Such an apt poem on the atmosphere of a cafe! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Beautiful Lines…….. Chatter is always a part of women’s life and a cup of coffee plays a great role..
wooow it’s awesome
Absolutely agree Kirti, happy you liked it 🙂
Awesome poem Shweta! Just love it! Recently came to know about a new Kannada movie ‘Parapancha’ based on similar weaving of stories of various people at a bar… After virtually visualized the movie through your poem, eagerly waiting to watch the movie…
TC! Keep smiling dear 🙂
Wow Sindhu, am thrilled you are liking my work so much. It truly makes me write more and motivates me to write better. Thank you so much 🙂
“Of all my favorite is a couple old
Abundance shared but words few told”——-> so profound…. couldn’t stop digging the poem 🙂
Thank you Anunoy 🙂
Great poem..keep it up
Thanks Pamela
Its a beautiful poem Shweta and Thanks to Hiri ,to bring it out of you…….. I loved all people specially the harem of ladies and the old couple ….. Kudos dearie ..It reminded me of a very poignant and beautiful poem “Patliputra ki Ganga ” where Ganga is the speaker telling about the rise n fall of Patliputra … different in intensity but the style is sae..
Lovely take girl friend 🙂 <3
You know babe, I love the references you give of Hindi poetry. In fact I still remember the kavita book you had shared on your site 🙂 I wish i would have read these in my school days, i was busy learning Marathi lol 🙂 and now well you don’t say thank you to best friends so I would say with all rights always be there with me 🙂
I know one thing i am going to do when i meet you next babe, I want to take down the names of all the beautiful work in Hindi that you have read and liked. I have so much to know still 🙂 Now if you re read the poem, can you not feel the same when we met over coffee 🙂
Wo bhi ! Wo bhi ! I am kicking myself for not remembering it :/
😀
