Why the cake?: First Poem

Walk into a coffee shop together,

She Orders Dutch cake, fruits with a hint of ginger,

Thoughts inside shout, “Unplanned disaster...Fuck sake!”

I protest, “Hardly a place to get a good cake”!

I look at her and glance at her perfect figure,

Does she like the treadmill and all that fitness rigour?

Thoughts shift, when she orders one for me…

I say! To be independent and free!

As the cakes replace the comfortable silences shared,

I think whether enough I have cared (For her).

Paying the bill we leave the place,

The aroma of coffee still beckoning, with a gentle haze.

We head towards the sandy and desolate beach,

Walk towards the whooshing waves and a setting sun, out of reach.

Lost in this moment, I fail to realise,

Turned towards me we see ourselves eye to eye,

What a perfect moment of utter bliss,

We had shared the most beautiful first kiss.

Later I realised the reason behind the damn cake,

She didn’t want to make a moment of passion, a stinky mistake!
