RHYMES AND COFFEE
© Lon Conklin 2025

Pen between my fingers and my thumb
Searching for a line that just won’t come
Words and music drifting out of sync
Oh I think my song needs a drink

But I threw away that old jug of blues
Waved goodbye to a weary muse
We had best a fifty-fifty chance
Now my mind is a never ending dance

It’s the right time for rhymes and coffee
Sunset, amber, red and gold
Nighttime is rolling in softly
With a melody these words come to me 
Can never be too late to believe 

I pour a cup and look out at the ocean
Going now where the winds are blowin’
Love is short, healing takes so long
Funny how a memory lingers on

It’s the right time for rhymes and coffee
Sunset, amber, red and gold
Nighttime is rolling in softly
With a melody these words come to me 
Can never be too late to believe 

I’m flameless candle in the dark
Close my eyes, pray for a spark
Inspiration is a priceless thing
I need to feel that fire again

It’s the right time for rhymes and coffee
Sunrise, amber, red and gold
Morning is waking up softly
With a melody these words come to me 
Can never be too late to believe 
It’s the right time for rhymes and coffee
Can never be too late to believe
