Dusty coffee cups
Rested beside the sink
Their edges held the stories
That time forgot to link
The fading scent of mornings
Clung gently to the air
A quiet kind of longing
Still seated in the chair
Dusty coffee cups
Returned a muted hum
A trace of older moments
Too distant to become
The table caught the sunlight
In streaks of amber gold
The warmth upon the surface
Felt worn but never cold
The room preserved its rhythm
In echoes soft and slow
As dust revealed the hours
That refused to fully go
Dusty coffee cups
Returned a muted hum
A trace of older moments
Too distant to become
Some memories stay settled
In porcelain and steam
And cups keep gentle echoes
Of every silent dream
Dusty coffee cups
Returned a muted hum
A trace of older moments
Too distant to become
