Love Poem: Bitter Sweet

Bitter Sweet

Once a coffee bean espresso queen,

high on the joyousness

of caffeine's bitter welcoming.

Then came along a candied love

from a sweet life savor.

By a most unusual chance,

the two come to meet their fate.

thus evolved a bitter sweet love,

that once was more than true.

 The sweet touch calmed the bitter

while the bitter 

provided reassurance that life
 
is not always that sweet.

A coffee bean espresso queen

knows her standing well,

and yearned

for more than real life's bitter taste.

Life is but a fine balance

of flavours and senses mixed together

she reminded herself.

Weigh it how you'd like,

though reality and perfection are not a fine match.

Together they continue their search

for that next to perfect

balance.
