Caffeine

A myriad of hypotheses haunt the vessel, from that I sip;

Displaced, both know their bit as they pass across the lip.

Left to fester, stale yet, profound.

Extrinsic pressure;

Solemn murmurs swirl and divulge such secrecies that tempt thy rouse.

I mull upon the cast to whom I have akin to my solace.

Reminiscent of nepenthes; unuttered genius falls prey to apprehension

And cowers within the masses while its captor blooms.

The taste is bitter but nonetheless endearing,

I moot about the theories, seek elucidation and confide within the ceiling.
