Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's "Cafe at Night"

Café at Night His canvas was a complete blank Paints, colours were his words Immersed in thoughts he sank Burning desires inside him stirred He sent postcards, all different Each one a separate clue All were sent in succession All were sent to you The first an empty cup The first of a few It read; “I need to sup I’m thirsty for you” Second - an image of bread And a sentence too It plain and simply said “I’m hungry for you” Third - were two chairs A table with cloth too “I’ve saved these for us To sit, just me and you” Fourth - a map of France A circle to mark a town Arles was highlighted “No need for formal gown” Fifth - a clear night sky Full of twinkling stars “Please follow me here From wherever you are” Sixth - a calendar A day, a month, a year “Keep this day free Just one day need be clear” Seventh - a clock The time - 11 pm "Je suis le nuit Tu est ma femme"* His painting complete Carefully constructed, tenderly construe d Like Van Gogh’s, “Café at Night.” Finally he simply wrote “I love you” © Andrea Coltman *"I am the night You are my lady"

Sounds like the perfect place to sit with a special someone and discuss poetry over a warm, steaming cup.
