Te Ta Te

Tea coffee or me

I asked

Was told

Tea

With me.

 

Simmering pot

Autumn brown liquor

Piping hot

Served (by her) with vigour.

 

The fragrance of freshness

And early morning dew

The taste of nectar

A wholesome brew

 

Flowery orange peicko

Or Darjeeling gold

Laced with cinnamon

Or cloves behold

Wafting your senses

And invading your mind

Dissipating the early morning blues

Let despair lagging behind.

 

It sucks on my tongue

And caresses my teeth

Swallows my gullet

And tickles my feet

Makes love to my blood

And fondles my mind

It nibbles my palate

And orgasms divine.

 

Oh for a pot

Of this wholesome aphrodisiac

Give it all you’ve got

For

The dissipating smoke

At the rim of the cup

The boiling water

And the bubbles unstuck

Simmering sound

Of hissing kettle

Few unbound

Their valiant mettle.

 

Simply I say

Dash

It all

Thank you

This cup

Says

It all.

 

It fills up

Without

And empties

Within

This relation of no

Kith and kin

Words fail

Actions deny

Destiny prevails

Never our wails.

 

For

Every morn

Cheers

To us.
