One Sip of Chai

When my fatigued pen, succumbed to a sleepy state of silence in the market place of silent poets, I searched for a tea room to stimulate my mind my quest led me to you. I do not recall the colours of the cup, nor the saucer. Only the shimmer of light, reflecting your delicate, slightly tanned hands. I wondered, was it the chai or those hazel bronze eyes - something left me mesmerised. One sip, a sudden sense of serenity overcame me - like the sun had risen through my heart, warm rays beamed through my eyes. To not lose the moment, I sipped slowly, savouring subtle sensations. Silky smooth liquid caressed my tantalised tongue, as taste buds yearned for just one sip from your lips. Suddenly, a profusion of poetic thoughts began to burst through my mind. This was no simple musing. Rekindled pen began to flow like rivers of chai.

Chai tea is my favourite, you described it well, it is especially tantalizing in winter's chill. I love your word selection and alliteration eg sudden sense of serenity. I used one of your titles in my 20 titles poem, it fit perfectly. Thanks for being you!

How do you know the Bengali term 'Chai'? My Dad was very fond of Tea. In our childhood, there was no place for coffee. Now coffee has entered as a favorite drink. I like tea but prefer coffee.

I did not know it was a Bengali term, I thought it was a generic sub continent term.. I am a coffee drinker also.. But this cup of chai was something else...

Sometimes, all it takes is one moment- to be truly captivated. One sip is never enough, when lingering in love. This is so beautiful and tender. Poetry from the heart. :) Brandy
