Acquaintance

She stirred and played. 
Although it was
Something delicate and beyond my
Comprehension, I've fallen
In love with her cup of poetry—
She delivered warmth with a smile—
Attentive—observant and mindful
Through the window
During a solemn winter day, when
All passions are 
Quenched
By the cold air, 
I had my secret embrace with the relish of
Cappuccino.
