You'Re My Cup of Tea

Your sweetness tasted like cherries Your smell scented like fresh strawberries Your words filly as ripened bananas Your act sour like my lemon trees Long ago i was your good cup of tea Long ago you were a star in my universe my forever lover to be...... Dear baby you left on that plane, promised me you'll be back again, but words were just words... dreams written in a whole book of vain, It took me so long to get over the heartache It took me so long to get over the pain. I can still remember the end of December, Distant phone call confirmed wedding bells in cloudy September,ringing bells for for you and your bride to be. I faked a smile,a lady in style,Congratulatons across the ocean,across much more than a mile, You came back full of regret,stating i'm the one you couldn't forget,NO Bells in September,it passed and gone,but dear baby i found New dawn,i'm very sorry i had to move on... Please dear Baby stop crying, hot tears brushed my cheeks long before, Just leave me alone!stop the knocks knock knocking on my wooden door,i met Somebody Special who loves me much more.Dear baby go play in your cradle, Your mami needs a papi today a papi who doesn't like rattles, a papi who 's too old t play Yesterday i was your good cup of tea and you were all that mattared to me... That was Yesterday,i live for today! Yes, baby that was Yesterday,Now i've met somebody who looks only my way.... i'm in love with him,he's in love with me, and we are to marry in the month of May (FICTION) Charma

Thank you so much for your warm & graceful comments today on my poem "Ole Brownie" Our babies(Pets) are very precious to us both a I can see in your comment about you mixed collie baby. My "Brownie" was a real dog, not a fictional character, altho he was a scrapper, as I said, as a boy, I loved him dearly. He lived to be a ripe old age. Love you poetry, keep thoes thoughts flowing, Sincerely, love Moses

I am so happy to see, your first cup of tea, turned at to be, a cup of ---, that way you could see, twasn't meant to be, twas that way you see, you found your true cup of tea! And I am so glad, not the least sad, you're past that fad, for would have been bad, to have wed a passing fad! Such a beautiful "I do not know', with such a beautiful glow, for such wisdom doth show! Smile, & lol. Sincerely, love Moses

Even fiction got its non-fictive part. Yes, Charma, I also experienced that what your wrote here, but the story had no happy end. Keep writing and thanky for your comments! ..Gert

Fiction hey, thought it was a true story. It sometimes takes one a long time to realize the mistake they have made, and when they do, it is sometimes too late to undo, yet we must learn to let go and start a new, because it may still happen again. Then he'll better not make that mistake again. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.

A man who abandons a woman who loves him this way often returns later with regrets. How wise she was to ignore his attempts to reconnect. Like the way you say, "Baby, that was yesterday." This woman moves forward strengthened by the torment she once endured after being betrayed. Excellent write, Charma!!! Love you! Carolyn
