Fragrant and sweetly erotic--the metaphor works perfectly. :)
coffee and sex, images that work well together, so many
types
Using the different senses and the anatomical geography was really nice!
Wow I don't even like coffee but this poem is wonderfully evocative!
I have a tiny problem with the descriptions...hazelnut, mocha etc...suppose a NON coffee drinker reads this poem, has no idea what those flavors are ( as pertaining to coffee) is hazelnut sweet? bitter? sharp, sublime? how does mocha relate to eyes? and so on...
I am not criticizing, just pointing out that words are only as good as their role in a poem and these are just well, just sorta stuck in there...
how would/could you change this so that the words are felt, not just "there".It is an interesting metaphor, I agree, but plainy put. I believe you have it in you to do much better :)
