Coffee and Eggs

I wondered how her kiss would seem.
Drifting, I found out in a dream.
I felt the love that was concealed
as soft and tender lips would yield.

What do I want for breakfast?
The question surely begs.  
I'll stop at Mabel's diner  
for black coffee and eggs.

I slid into an empty chair
and gazed from her shoes to her hair. 
Yet, I would not be unmasked
when my lovely Mabel asked, 

"What do I want for breakfast?"
The question surely begs.  
"I'm growing sleepy on the road.  
I'll have coffee and eggs."
