Our Love Is As A Cup Of Tea

Our souls as though bound with twine

Remember our love from previous lives

So alike are You and I

We dance passionately in balanced circles

Pressed together like yin and yang

Helplessly intoxicated by fate

Our love is as a cup of tea

Bergamot infused Earl Grey

Exotic, Quaint, and Deep

I'll savour the aromatic brew

And eat the bitter dregs with appetite too

For our love is as patient

As the water drawing out

The true nature of otherwise

Ugly, shriveled, little things

Drowning emotions in the dark expanse

I am reminded of your eyes

Containing all of the worlds

In their cosmic depth

Shy doves radiantly glowing

Our love is as a cup of tea

Warm and comforting

A sweetly wavering symphony teasing the senses

A strength imparting tonic

An unexpected magic

I think my love is like yak butter tea, a little rancid and bitter as hell. So yeah...I think you are right...lol. This was really relaxing to read and super well written. The metaphor is soothing and romantic and it read like a period piece without the pomposity. Nice job.

Great Poem!
You have captured the sweet essence of true love with "to coin your phrase" "unexpected magic!"
Well Done!

[Tony]

Wow! An epic story of love-- soaring through all the dimesions of the senses and even surpassing time itself. All stirred to the taste of tea. I dig it!

the thing I love about your writing is the spirit within your wellcrafted lines , true poetry

[E.H. Monroe]

What corner of this place have you been hiding. The assonance and inner rhyme in the first few lines are a kick in the teeth and keep you driving the whole way through. A simple comparion: love and tea and you expertlt spin it the entire length of the way.Taking the way it glistens, the feelinga dn even alluding to styles.
S**t..now I;m thirsty. The yin and yang wheel can be a symbol of how polarly opposite two lovers can be and intertwined in something so simple.

Really well done and needs to be read by some more
