Café Arcadia

Quiet
Intimate
Muse flows easy
With the bliss
of every
sip of
tea

Inside
I romanticise
raving Eskimos
in twilight skies

World outside
slinking by
exhausted lines
releasing sighs
reminds me of advice
from a mother
on the by-and-by

twitching,

“the ghosts
that chase you
are the angels
you face
if you turn
to love”

this mind shelter
this café haven
helps me to realise
I’m glad I stopped
running

Nice to have a sweet haven :)...I know some of my fondest times with friends or reflection have been at coffee houses. I guess part of the success of "Friends"....ouch..sometimes I hurt myself.

a serene reflection...let the ghosts catch you. we need more introspective moments like these in the hum drum of our daily routines.

"this mind shelter this café haven." Café Arcadia is a place I would visit, sit down and be inspired. It is nicely formatted and well written. The emotions flow like the "raving Eskimos in twilight skies." Well done.

"slinking by exhausted lines releasing sighs" Carlos, this was magnificent. it's a piece, i think, everyone can relate to. we need to stop and take a breath every now and then. this poem was my breath at this moment.

ahhhhh yes...without doubt; turn to face your fears and exorcise them, such a richly expressed poem within its sparse frame; I salute you sir....beautifully eloquent and inspirational :)

this reminds me of my favorite cafe back in new mexico....and it made me a bit sad for that exact reason. there's nothing like finding the perfect cafe to write in (i have yet to find one in san francisco)
