A Couple Sharing a Special Time

A Couple Sharing a Special Time
Hibiscus herbal tea with honey
Served with homemade sugar cookies
The woman anticipated her special friend.
Putting on the kettle with filtered water
Setting the cookies in oven.
She timed it perfectly.
As he came through the door way.
He offered to help and collected the teabags, cups, spoons and honey 
From the cabinet.
Placing them on the small dining table.
The kettle's whistle made a low sound.
The ovens timer went off. 
Everything was done.
He had placed the Hibiscus teabags into each cup.
She gracefully poured the hot water in them. 
Placing two small saucers over each cup to
Let the tea seep. 
After a few mins he took the honey placing
Removing each saucer putting some honey
Into each cup. 
The man and woman stirring, slowly sipping a delicious brew.
Looking intently in each other's eyes.
Placing one of their hands on the table.
As he slowly touched her hand.
Cookies munched on.
Hot calming Hibiscus tea in them.
A time of intimacy 
Where silence hits the hearts.
When hearts meet no words have to be shared.
Just a mutual understanding and emotions that are set on the same page.
